Ep. #11 - Att planera en resa

Halo semua! Apa kabar? Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? 
Hari Sabtu lalu saya punya janji dengan dokter gigi untuk membersihkan gigi saya.
Dokter gigi ini adalah dokter gigi baru di sekitar rumah saya.

Ketika dokter sedang membersihkan gigi saya, dia bilang di gigi bagian atas dan bawah ada beberapa lubang kecil. Lubang gigi artinya "虫歯” di Bahasa Jepang atau "cavity" di Bahasa Inggris. Hmm.. sebetulnya saya nggak merasa sakit apa pun, sih… 

Waktu dokter selesai membersihkan gigi dan saya mau membayar, dia berkata "Kamu perlu perawatan gigi 10 kali dari sekarang. Ayo kita buat janji untuk perawatan berikutnya". Saya langsung merasa sedikit aneh. Dokter ini mungkin mata duitan ya! Kalian bisa bayangkan arti dari "mata duitan" ? Hanya ada uang di matanya!
Kalau di Bahasa Jepang seperti ini, あの人はお金に執着している。
Kalau di Bahasa Inggris saya pikir artinya "money oriented". 

Jadi, saya memutuskan tidak mau pergi ke tempat dokter itu lagi. 
Kalian punya pengalaman dengan orang yang mata duitan? Kita harus selalu berhati-hati ya! 
Sampai di sini podcast saya kali ini. Sampai jumpa lagi ^^

A new survey in Japan has shown that many people may be giving up on "happily ever after" when they get older than 35.

A survey by the Nippon Foundation asked 6,000 people, aged 15 to 45, about the country's falling birth rate. Among the 3,935 single participants, 46% said they want to get married, while 33% said they don't.

However, when asked if they really think they will get married, only 27% said yes, while 39% said no.

Younger people were more hopeful about marriage, with about 40% of those aged 15 to 25 thinking they will marry. But over 50% of single people aged 36 to 45 believe they won't get married, suggesting people may give up on marriage as they age.

Of the 1,313 people who said they don't want to get married, 40% said they prefer being single. Other reasons for staying single included not being able to see any benefit to marrying, and wanting to put their own life first. More than 20% didn't have a clear reason or just didn't know why.

For the 267 people who want to marry but think they won't, the top reason for thinking it won't happen is not having chances to meet potential partners, which was mentioned by 49% of these people. Others said they weren't good at getting along with people of the opposite sex, or felt financially insecure.

Where people lived also affected views on marriage. About 30% of people in central Tokyo and big cities thought they would marry, but only just over 20% of those in smaller towns and villages felt the same.

Marriages in Japan have been decreasing for years. In 2023, there were 3.9 marriages per 1,000 people in Japan — down from a high of 12 marriages per 1,000 people in 1947.
