こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日は、旅行の話をしようと思います。
皆さんは、旅行に行く時、何をメインにしますか？
例えば、食べ物ですか？
建物を見ることですか？美術館に行くことですか？
自然を見ることですか？その地域の人に会うことですか？

旅行にはいろんな目的がありますね。
僕にとっての旅行が最近少し変わってきました。

最近とても興味があるのは歴史ですね。
へー日本だと個人的には、北海道が歴史的にもとても面白い場所だと思います。
オススメです。
海外で旅行に行く時も今は歴史的な場所を探すのが1番の目的ですね。

実は前にも言ったかもしれないですけど、2月の後半にドイツとオランダに旅行に行く予定があります。

ドイツは僕が知っている中では歴史的な場所が多いですね。
ですので、見る場所がたくさんあるように感じます。

でもオランダは、僕は歴史をあまり知りません。
ですので、思ってたよりも行く場所が見つかりません。
こう言うと、オランダに興味がないように聞こえますが、そうではなくて、知らないだけなんです。

付け足すと、オランダに行きたいのは、観光というより、住む場所として見に行きたい、ということですね。自分たちがここで生活したいと思うかは、行ってみないとわからないです。ですので、行って確かめてみたいと思います。

旅行の話はおもしろいので、また話しますね。

みなさんの旅行の話も聞きたいです。
日本語で話したい！という方はぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
