Phở is the quintessential Vietnamese dish, the word phở referring to the type of noodle used in the recipe. Flat rice noodles with medium-rare slivers of beef or boiled chicken in a hearty beef stock. The more popular of the two widely known varieties is phở Hanoi. Originally from the north, it is distinguished by a clear broth and dressed only with a squeeze of lemon and slices of bird’s eye chili. The southern iteration, phở Nam, has a murkier broth and is served with a few of fresh herbs like bean sprouts, basil and mint.

こんにちは、Japanese with Yoshikoへようこそ！今日はサウジアラビアに引っ越した際の手続きについてお話しします。今日のフレーズは「悩む」です。意味を知らない人はどういう意味か想像しながら聞いてみてくださいね。

11月初旬に私たちのビザの手続きが始まり、12月に引っ越すことにしました。
私はやることを可視化したかったので、Googleスプレッドシートに、To do リスト、捨てるもの・ゴミ出し表、買い物リスト、スケジュール表、荷造りリストを作成しました。10月中旬くらいから不用品販売を進めました。10月末には、海外居住者でも使える銀行で必要な手続きを一部オンラインで行いました。私は息子と二人でマンションに住んでいたので、マンションの大家さんに引っ越し予定日を伝え、火災保険・水道・ガス・電力会社などに解約手続きの方法を聞きました。クレジットカードなどの住所・電話番号の変更も行いました。
一番私を悩ませたのは、サウジに荷物を送る方法です。日本から海外へ荷物を送る方法で一番有名なのは日本郵便です。ほとんどの国へ手紙から大きな段ボール箱まで送ることができます。私たちの場合、スーツケースのほかに送る荷物が25kg、段ボール2,3個になりそうでした。そうなると、サウジアラビアの場合、1週間ほどで着く航空便で6万円以上もします。そして関税がかかる可能性が高いです。どうしようか悩んでいたところ、そういえばエミレーツ航空で航空券を予約する際に、事前に荷物の超過料金を支払える項目があったことに気づきました。よく調べると、ほとんどの路線で重量制で、荷物の数にかかわらず、その重量以内なら無料です。私たちの場合、二人で60kgまで無料でした。出発4時間前までにオンラインで超過分を支払えば、チェックインカウンターで支払うより半額くらい安くなります。しかも、同じ飛行機で送れば、同じ日に受け取れるし、関税がかかる可能性はかなり低いと思います。二日前にスーツケースと一緒に空港に送ればいいだけです。私は荷物をスーツケースや段ボールに何度も詰めて、体重計で重さをはかり、余裕をもって30kgの超過分を支払うことにしました。空港への配送費を含めても日本郵便で送るより1万円以上安くなりました。外国へ行かずに荷物だけ送るなら日本郵便になるかと思いますが、日本郵便で送るとインボイスの作成があるので少し手間です。日本の配送会社はとても便利で信頼できます。もし日本から海外に行くときは、同じ飛行機に載せられないか検討してみてくださいね！

本日のフレーズは「悩む」でしたね。「一番私を悩ませたのは」と「どうしようか悩んでいたところ」の2箇所で出てきました。主な意味は、「決めるのが難しかったり、解決方法が思いつかず、心を痛めること」「対応や処理が難しくて困ること」「体の痛みなどに苦しむこと」の3つです。「人が悩む」「人を悩ませる」名詞の「悩み」という形で使われます。例文です。「彼は就職先をどこにしようか悩んでいる。」「最近悩みがたくさんあって、話聞いてくれる？」それではまた、ばいばーい！

【今日の質問の解答】
①海外居住者でも使える銀行
②6万円
③30kg

English on the Road 

Talking about Hobbies

There's an old English saying that goes: "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."

But according to a recent study, "late to bed and late to rise" may actually be better for your brain — though researchers didn't check if it does anything for your health or your wallet.

A study published in BMJ Public Health looked at data from nearly 27,000 people who reported how long they slept, and whether they were a "morning lark" — someone who wakes up early — or a "night owl," who sleeps late.

The participants, aged between 53 and 86, also did cognitive tests that checked their reasoning, memory, and how quickly they could process information.

It was found that night owls performed best on the cognitive tests — ahead of those who described themselves as neither morning people nor night people. And morning larks had the lowest cognitive scores of all.

People's bodies have times when they naturally prefer to sleep. And Raha West of Imperial College London, the study's lead author, said that while it's possible to gradually shift your sleeping times, it's very difficult to completely change from a morning person to a night person.

However, she also said the results just show the trend, and not the truth for every individual.

The authors also noted that their results, which focused on older adults, contrasted with past research on adolescents, which found that young morning larks actually had better health and better mental well-being.

Speaking to The Guardian, Jacqui-Ann Hanley of Alzheimer’s Research UK, who wasn't involved with the study, also said it isn't clear if being a morning person leads to poorer cognitive results in older adults, or if the weaker cognitive abilities that come with aging just make people get up earlier.

The study also found that people generally got better cognitive scores if they reported sleeping between seven and nine hours each night.
