先週の日曜日に久しぶりに浴衣を着ました。浴衣というのは夏に着る着物のことです。知っている方も多いと思いますが、浴衣や着物は着るのがとても難しいです。先週の日曜日は私の住んでいる町でコンサートがあり、日本人の方が来て、演奏するということだったので浴衣を着て出かけることにしました。コンサートは夜だったので、朝から何度もYouTubeを見ながら浴衣を着る練習をしました。浴衣は着物に比べて着るのが簡単ですが、きれいに着るのはとても難しいです。日本人でも着物や浴衣を自分で着られる人は少ないです。ちなみに私の母はもうすぐ70歳ですが自分で着ることはできません。

みなさんは着物を着てみたいですか？
着物を着てどこに行きたいですか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

演奏する：えんそうする　play music
出かける：でかける　go out

ROMANCE DE LA LUNA

Durante mi estancia como profesor para nepalís en India, algunas noches entre té y té, disfrutaba de charlas sobre el Himalaya. Fábulas del Nepal sobre el origen del mundo, de la cascada que nace el Ganges desde la cabellera de Shiva y también de las hazañas de los sherpas que conocen hasta el más mínimo secreto de la cordillera más impresionante de nuestro planeta. Casi todos decían lo mismo: el Everest es el más alto, pero no es el más difícil de ascender.

On this date, 10 December 1936, King Edward VIII signed the Instrument of Abdication, giving up the British throne so he could marry the woman he loved, Wallis Simpson. This historic moment reshaped the monarchy, led to the reign of King George VI, and eventually paved the way for Queen Elizabeth II.

In this video, we look at why Edward VIII chose to resign, the constitutional crisis it triggered, and how the relationship between Edward and Wallis became one of the most famous love stories of the 20th century.
