Hi everyone!
Today I want to share a fun Netflix animation called K‑Pop Demon Hunters.

It’s about a K‑Pop girl group, Huntr/x, and a boy group, Saja Boys.

The movie is full of amazing songs and cool action scenes.
You can also find many hidden Korean cultural elements, like 김밥, 라면, and 전통문양.

If you like K‑Pop or Korean culture,
I really recommend watching it!

《红玫瑰与白玫瑰》张爱玲

也许每一个男子全都有过这样的两个女人，至少两个。娶了红玫瑰，久而久之，红的变了墙上的一抹蚊子血，白的还是床前明月光；娶了白玫瑰，白的便是衣服上沾的一粒饭黏子，红的却是心口上一颗朱砂痣。

中国简史

This episode describes the journey from the airport to the hotel, and gives you the vocabulary you may need for taking the underground. 
Please also use this for pronunciation.

Now that I’ve gone through customs and found my way out, I have to find transport. I go past the welcoming committee of people thronging to greet their loved ones, and look for signs that show bus, car, or train. 

I decide to take the train or underground railway. It’s called the Metro, the Underground, or the Tube in most countries. I have to ask about the best ticket for my journeys around the city, so I go to the ticket counter to get help. Once I know what I want, I can just use my debit or credit card and go to the self-service kiosk. 

I buy my ticket, and pass through the ticket barriers to go down the escalators to the floors below. I keep reading the boards to see if I’m going in the right direction.  It’s a long walk, and I sometimes have to carry my suitcase down the stairs. I begin to wonder if I shouldn’t just have taken a taxi. 

Some people offer to help, and, because it’s so heavy and no one could just run away with my luggage, I agree gratefully. 

The Tube is crowded, but I manage to find a seat. I listen carefully for my stop, and hop onto the platform. 

Once I’m out of the Tube station, I see my hotel across the road, so I go through the entranceway into the lobby. At least this hotel doesn’t have revolving doors, because it’s really awkward to manage that when you have baggage. 

I go straight across the lobby to the clerk at the reception desk. I tell them I have booked a room and tell them my name. They ask me for my passport or other identity document. I give it to them. I go to my room and the valet brings my luggage. I give him or her a tip.

I unpack my bag into the cupboards and drawers. I take a shower with the freshly laid out towels. I am now ready for my exploration in the town.

Please feel free to book a lesson with me. #knowmyteacher #pronunciation

After The Airport

WTO总干事表示，当前全球经济前景黯淡，同时也充满不确定性，但今年全球贸易增长可能比预期更快。但同时预计今年全球货物贸易将仅增长1%，较2022年3.5%的增幅大幅放缓。未来出现其他结果也是有可能的，这取决于俄乌冲突的进展、中国的重新开放，以及各大央行收紧货币政策的力度。WTO警告称，不要只与盟友进行贸易，这将阻碍全球经济的增长。这样做的代价将很严重。
阻碍：hinder
区域性贸易：regionalized trade
沉重的代价/代价沉重：heavy price
盟友：ally

I read a book called Breathing in Colour, written by British author Clare Jay. In this book, a woman named Alida travels to India to find her missing daughter, Mia. The book also mentions synesthesia and lucid dreaming. I also talk about my experience with synesthesia.

Vocabulary:
synesthesia: when the senses are blended together
in my mind's eye: in my thoughts
lucid dreaming: when you realize it's a dream while you're dreaming
amnesia: when a person loses their memory
to get off on the wrong foot: to dislike each other at first
