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。

今回はケルンの話の続きですね。
ケルンでは、知り合いの方の家へ泊めてもらいました。
この知り合いの方は、僕のレッスンを受けてくれている、ドイツ人の方の知り合いです。ご夫婦なんですが、お二人ともとても親切な方でした。

ケルン中央駅前で待ち合わせしたあと、車でお昼ご飯に行くことになりました。ここで連れて行ってもらったのが、

Lommerzheim という所でした。
Gaststätte Lommerzheim

ここには昼に入りました。外からは中が見えない店だったのですが、入ると中の席には人がいっぱい座っていました。
ほぼ満席な状態でした。めちゃくちゃ人気な店のようでした。

ケルシュビール、カツレツなどが人気の店でした。
食べ物もどれも特徴的で、おいしかったんですが、個人的にはケルシュビールがおいしくて、そのルールもおもしろかったです。

ケルシュとは、ドイツのケルン地方発祥のビールです。
長細い形のグラスで提供されます。
グラスにコースターで蓋をしなければ、空になり次第、ウェイターが新しいビールを持ってきてくれます。いらないという意思表示をしないとずっと続く、ということですね。

日本ではたぶん、ビールでこのようなサービスはないので、とてもおもしろいですね！テーブルで会話が盛り上がっていると、新しいビールが運ばれて、それでみんなでまた乾杯して盛り上がる、というおもしろいサイクルになりますね。


ということで、はじめて行った場所でしたがとても楽しかったですし、おもしろい店だったのもあって、お2人ともすぐに仲良くなれました。こういう雰囲気って、めっちゃ大切ですね。


ということで、今回はケルンの話をしました。
コーヒーショップにもいくつか連れて行ってもらえたので、次のPodcastでは、そんな話をしますね。

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！

Popular Names in the UK (with transcript)

When we talk about "screen time," we're often thinking about the effect that time spent on devices has on young people.

But what about the effect that those screens have on our eyes?

Whether you're using Instagram or Microsoft Excel, experts say that spending a lot of time looking at a screen isn't good for you.

But if you have to use a computer for work, what can you do to stay healthy?

Many eye experts say you should follow the "20-20-20 rule." This means taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something about 20 feet away — that's about 6 meters.

This gives your eyes a break and makes them change their focus from the screen that's near to you, to something that's farther away.

Make sure the screen is the right brightness, too. A screen that's too bright or too dark will make you strain your eyes. But your device can help you with this.

The idea is to reduce the amount of blue light that your eyes are getting, something that "night mode" on your device does. And some companies now sell blue light glasses that can help.

Sitting the right distance from the screen is also a good idea: at least 50 centimeters away is often given as a suggestion.

If you find you're moving close to the screen and straining your eyes to see, you could try making the fonts on your screen larger.

And don't forget to blink! Blinking stops your eyes from getting dry and it can also help to reduce eye strain.
