Let's meet Paola, the main character in our story!

Un viaggio pieno di sorprese! 

Capitolo 1: Paola

Улю́блене хобі моє́ї бабу́сі – це її́ сад. Вона́ працює в саду все життя. Íноді каже, що їй не подобається її сад, але я знаю, що це неправда. Вона його дуже любить. Мабуть, лише трохи менше, ніж мене. 
Ще вона любить розмовляти про її сад. Я не ду́же люблю́ ці розмови. Наприклад, вам цікаво слухати про те, як добре, що росте́ картопля, або́ як пога́но, що нема́є дощу́ вже бага́то днів?. Але́ я обожнюю бабусю́, тому́ слу́хаю. Мені цікаво, звідки у неї стільки сил! Вона́ часто прихо́дить з робо́ти ду́же вто́млена і потім йде працювати в сад. Бабуся працює в саду до ночі майже щодня! А я чекаю на неї і не йду спати, тому що не хочу йти спати одна. Я хочу допомогати їй в саду, але вона сміється і каже, що я ще дуже маленька. 
Коли мені було 3 роки, і у бабусі був день народження, я нарвала в саду квіти і подарувала бабусі. Я не знала, що це була полуниця, а не квіти. 
Взимку ми дуже любимо пити чай з полуничним джемом  з саду бабусі. Коли ми їмо полуничний джем, то згадуємо про літо, про день народження бабусі і мій "подарунок", а тоді сміємося.

How to Talk About Micromanagement - Episode 107

If you see someone sitting alone in a restaurant, you might assume they're waiting for someone, or perhaps they're grabbing a quick lunch on their break.

But more and more people around the world are purposely dining alone.

Japan has a special word for this: ohitorisama, which refers to people confidently doing things alone without worrying about what others think.

A recent survey found that 23% of Japanese people eat out alone, up from 18% in 2018. And in the US, solo dining reservations have risen 29% over the last two years, according to restaurant reservation site OpenTable.

OpenTable CEO Debby Soo thinks remote work is one reason for the increase, with people looking for a break from their home offices.

The increasing popularity in solo dining comes as more people are living alone. In 2019, the Pew Research Center found that 38% of US adults ages 25 to 54 were living without a partner, up from 29% in 1990. In Japan, single households now make up one-third of the total; that’s expected to increase to 40% by 2040, according to government data.

Growing interest in solo travel — particularly among travelers ages 55 and over — is also leading to more meals alone.

But Soo thinks there could be more to it than that.

"I think there's a broader movement of self-love and self-care and really … enjoying your own company," Soo said.

As a result, many restaurants are redoing their seating, changing their menus and adding other special touches to appeal to solo diners.

But some aren't always happy to seat one diner. A Michelin-starred London restaurant caused a stir last year when it started charging solo diners the same price as two customers. The restaurant, which has 34 seats, offers an eight-course menu costing about $280 per person.

Other restaurants say it's worth seating one person because solo diners will often come back and eat there again.
