Hi guys, long time no speak. I've been so busy lately but I came back for another podcast.
I finished reading the book of Robert Greene, "The 48 Laws of Power." It is such an interesting book and I would like to share the three laws that I liked the most in this book.
Law number one: 'Never outshine the master."

Book Review: The 48 laws of Power by Robert Greene

New York is known for its yellow taxis. They're everywhere: pushing through the busy streets like bees.

They are a symbol of the city and there are more than 13,500 of them buzzing around the "Big Apple."

That's a lot of taxis. But there are some other things buzzing around the city and they aren't always quite so easy to see — millionaires.

The city of yellow taxis is also the city of millionaires, and according to a new report there are about 26 times more millionaires in New York than there are taxis!

The 2024 World's Wealthiest Cities report, by investment company Henley and Partners, says New York has almost 350,000 millionaires.

That number grew by 48% between 2013 and 2023, and there are also 60 billionaires in the city.

But like so many wealthy cities, the gap between the rich and the poor in New York is big, and it's getting bigger.

According to 2023 data, the top 20% of earners in the city make almost six times as much as the bottom 20% of earners.

New York is also the world's second most expensive city to live in.

There are 11 US cities in the top 50 wealthiest cities in the world.

The Bay Area, which includes San Francisco and California's tech area of Silicon Valley is second in the list. More than 300,000 millionaires live there, along with 68 billionaires.

Tokyo is third with 298,000 millionaires, although the Japanese capital has seen a small decrease in the number of millionaires over the last 10 years.

#390 N3 漢字"失"、について！

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日も北海道からとっています。


さて、今日は祇園祭(ぎおんまつり)について。
聞いたことがりますか？

日本では、昔からいろんな祭り(festival)があります。
地元(じもと)の祭りや大きな祭りがあります。

今日は日本三大祭りの１つ、祇園祭について話します。
祇園祭とは、夏に京都で行われる祭りのことです。
7月の1ヶ月でいくつかの行事があります。


祇園祭の起源(きげん＝roots)は平安時代初期(へいあんじだいしょき)にさかのぼります。その時代は、疫病(えきびょう＝ひろがる病気)が流行(りゅうこう)していました。

人々は、これを死んだ人たちの祟り(たたり)だと考えました。ですので、祟りをしずめるために、まちをあるく「御霊会〔ごりょうえ〕」をはじめました。

これが祇園祭のはじまりです。

祇園祭のシンボルは山車〔だし〕という大きなものです。
屋根に長い槍(やり)を持ち、2階にはお囃子(おはやし)をするひとたちが乗っています。またひとがかつぐようなものもあります。

先日、はじめて、じっくりと祇園祭を見ました。
1ヶ月の間の最後の行事でしたが、人がたくさん見にきていて、とても熱気がありました。そして、伝統的(でんとうてき)な雰囲気(ふんいき)がありました。

みなさんの国では、伝統的な祭りはありますか？
ぜひ、わたしのレッスンでお話しましょう！

ではまた！
