REINVENT YOURSELF

LA SOPA.

Ancient Egyptians loved and respected cats, believing they brought good luck.

Some families even dressed their cats in jewelry, and mummified them after death. They would mourn the death of their cat by shaving off their eyebrows, and continue to mourn until their eyebrows grew back.

Inspired by this ancient love for cats, the Shanghai Museum in China held a special event called Meowseum Nights.

Held 10 times during last summer and fall, the event invited 200 cats and 2,000 people to explore the exhibition On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt.

Some of the artifacts shown in the exhibition came from a temple discovered years ago in Egypt. The temple was for Bastet, an Egyptian goddess who could change into a cat. This gave the Shanghai Museum another reason to use cats as the theme for their event.

Museum director Chu Xiaobo said that the event was created to bring cat lovers to the museum, as in Shanghai, where there are over a million pet cats, cat-friendly public spaces are rare.

"There are dog parks, dog brunches, but not that much for cat parents to do with their pets," Wen Liuli, a visitor to the exhibition, told The Art Newspaper.

The museum took measures to keep all visitors and artifacts safe. Cats had to stay in strollers or bags, but there were certain areas where people could take their cats out for photos, such as in front of a statue of Bastet. All the other artifacts were kept behind glass.

The museum also had vets, doctors, and even an ambulance on-site, and over 80 animal welfare workers attended each night to help and give advice.

While the museum doesn't plan to hold another Meowseum Night, Chu hopes it might inspire other museums to try similar ideas.

"Cat people now have a special affection for the Shanghai Museum," he said.

こんばんは！
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。

今日4/29から日本はゴールデンウィークがはじまりました。
これは1年で1番長い休みの時期です。
日本人はあまり休まない、休めないタイプだからかわかりませんが、祝日が多いですね。1年間で16日あるみたいです。

そして今年は、このゴールデンウィークはいつもより長い連休です。会社で働いている人は有給をうまく使うと10連休！になるみたいです。日本ではとても長い休みですね。

そして今年はようやく3年ぶりに規制もほとんどないゴールデンウィークですので、旅行に行く人が多いと思います。

まだ国内旅行がまだ多いみたいです。
千葉県
北海道
沖縄
大阪府
などが人気のようです。千葉県と、大阪府はディズニーランドとUSJですね。日本人はテーマパークが好きみたいです。
海外旅行に行く人はまだ少ないみたいです。

ぼくは奥さんが働いているので、家でPodcastを取ったり、日本語のレッスンでみなさんとたくさん話したり、散歩したりしようと思います。今年の後半は海外旅行したいと思います！

みなさんの国では長い連休はありますか？そういう時はどこに行きますか？

よかったらオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！
お待ちしています！
