Ep.17Learn Thai_ How to say “I love you” in Thai 

Traditional Chinese Medicine subject considers cold things will cause the body to get cold which influences Yang deficiency or blood stasis. When I was little, my mother always told me that don’t drink cold water, eat less ice cream, instead of that, drink hot water. 

But, if you want an iced drink, what can you do? It’s elementary, just say:  
我要冰的。 Wǒ yào bīng de – I want the cold one.’ ’冰’‘s meaning is ‘冰凉的（ice-cold）’。In the south of China, they use another word too, ‘冻(dòng)’.So, if you’re in Guangdong, you can also say such as’我要冻的- I want the cold one.’ or 冻啤酒(ice beer)’ and so on.

One of Kafka's best-known works, The Metamorphosis was first published in 1915. It is often cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is still widely studied in high schools, colleges, and universities across the world. This striking novella tells the story of salesman Gregor Samsa who wakes one morning to find himself mysteriously transformed into a huge insect.

Gregor subsequently struggles, unsuccessfully, to adjust to his new condition. The cause of Gregor's sudden and inexplicable transformation is never revealed, and Kafka himself never gave an explanation. The bulk of the story deals with Gregor's attempts to adjust to his new condition as he deals with being burdensome to his family, which is repulsed by the strange, giant, and verminous creature Gregor has become.

Literary critics and readers alike have generally interpreted The Metamorphosis to be a parable about the individual’s sense of finding himself victimized by large impersonal forces in society which are beyond one's grasp or ability to deal with. Horror, humor, and the surrealism of dreams are all present from the first sentence and stand to this day in this illuminating evocation of the condition of the modern, alienated anti-hero.

Written by Franza Kafka; English translation read by Jason Rosette

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka (English version narrated by Jason Rosette)

 Ciao a tutti/e! Oggi il nostro podcast  esplora le affascinanti storie e leggende di uno dei dolci più amati del nostro paese. Parleremo di uno dei dolci natalizi più iconici: il panettone. Scopriremo insieme le sue origini medievali, le tradizioni e le leggende che lo circondano, e la sua evoluzione nel corso dei secoli.

Dalle prime testimonianze documentate nel 1470, passando per le ricette dei cuochi rinascimentali, fino alle innovazioni del XX secolo, il panettone ha una storia ricca di curiosità e cambiamenti. Vi racconteremo di come un semplice pane di frumento si sia trasformato in un dolce arricchito con burro, uova, zucchero e canditi, diventando un simbolo delle festività natalizie in Italia e nel mondo.

Non mancheranno le leggende che hanno contribuito al fascino del panettone, come quella del garzone di Ludovico il Moro e del falconiere innamorato. Concluderemo parlando del panettone moderno, dalla produzione artigianale a quella industriale, e di come continua a essere celebrato oggi.

Preparatevi a un viaggio gustoso e appassionante nella storia del panettone! Buon ascolto!

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El Compañero Indeleble.

Kael despertó en una cámara de stasis, solo y desorientado. A su lado, AX-42, un androide de avanzada inteligencia, se activó. Juntos, exploraron una misteriosa estación espacial, enfrentando peligros y resolviendo enigmas. En ese entorno hostil, forjaron un vínculo inquebrantable. Kael, un humano solitario, encontró en AX-42 un compañero leal y un amigo incondicional.

Sin embargo, su paz se vio interrumpida por una antigua raza de seres mecánicos, los Guardianes del Orden, que los perseguían a través del cosmos. Los Guardianes consideraban a cualquier forma de inteligencia artificial una amenaza y estaban decididos a eliminar a AX-42. En una batalla épica, AX-42 se sacrificó para proteger a Kael, dejando al humano desconsolado pero lleno de determinación.

Con el corazón roto, Kael juró vengarse de los Guardianes y dedicar su vida a proteger a todas las formas de vida inteligente. Emprendió un viaje solitario por el cosmos, llevando consigo el recuerdo de su querido amigo. A pesar de la pérdida, Kael encontró un nuevo propósito: honrar la memoria de AX-42 y luchar por un futuro donde humanos y androides pudieran coexistir en armonía.
