In today's episode we learn an anecdote about the American tourists who once met the Queen and had no idea who she was. Here's the story. 

Key Vocabulary:
An anecdote   /ˈanɪkdəʊt/   noun  = a short, interesting story about a real incident or person.
To play a prank on someone = To carry out a trick, deception, or practical joke on someone.
To pull someone's leg  =  to deceive someone playfully; tease someone.
Cantankerous	/kanˈtaŋk(ə)rəs/ adjective   = bad-tempered, argumentative, and uncooperative.
To be a fly on the wall =  you would like to hear what will be said or see what will happen while not being noticed

Former Royal Protection Officer, Richard Griffin said he and the Queen met the American hikers one day while they were walking near Balmoral Castle, her holiday home in Scotland.
"The Queen would always stop and say hello," Griffin said. "And it was clear from the moment we first stopped that they hadn't recognized the Queen."
Griffin said one of the Americans asked the Queen where she lived.
"She said, 'Well I live in London, but I've got a holiday home near here,"' Griffin recalled. 
The hiker then asked if she had ever met Queen Elizabeth.
"Well I haven't, but Richard here meets her regularly," the Queen replied.
The hiker then turned to Griffin and asked: "Oh, you've met the Queen? What's she like?"
"I decided to pull her leg, so I said, 'she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humour".
The American then got his camera out, and gave it to the Queen, asking if she could take a picture of him with the royal protection officer. "Then we swapped places and I took a picture of them with the Queen and we waved goodbye". "The Queen said to me, 'I'd love to be a fly on the wall when he shows those photographs to their friends —  hopefully someone tells him who I am.'"

CUEMANCO.

CUEMANCO, EL MERCADO DE PLANTAS MÁS HERMOSO Y GRANDE DE LATINOAMÉRICA

Cuemanco es el mercado de flores más grande de toda América Latina, pero a finales del siglo XX fue una zona lacustre. En 1991 el gobierno MEXICANO decidió imponer el proyecto del rescate ecológico de Xochimilco, con el cual se construyó el parque ecológico, el deportivo ecológico y el mercado de plantas y flores de Cuemanco.

Visitar el mercado de Cuemanco significa hacer un recorrido lleno de colores y olores que dejan extasiados a los paseantes en el mercado de flores y plantas de Cuemanco. Uno de los grandes atractivos de Xochimilco es que los chinamperos cosechan flores y plantas de ornato para interiores y exteriores. A precios muy económicos se pueden comprar bromelias, violetas, patas de elefante, pinos y más bellezas.

el Mercado de flores y plantas DE Cuemanco  recibe a más de 2 millones de visitantes al año. Con ello se logró incrementar la afluencia de turistas a este sitio considerado el más grande en Latinoamérica y el tercero a nivel mundial en su tipo, pues aquí se comercializan más de 15 mil especies, tanto endémicas como provenientes de otros estados.

Cuando es primavera el olor a las flores está por todas partes. En verano se siente la frescura de las flores e incluso en invierno el olor de las nochebuenas y de los árboles de navidad invade el entorno.  Los colores, se mezcla junto con más de mil especies de plantas y quinientas cactáceas que invaden el mercado de plantas y flores de Cuemanco, en la alcaldía Xochimilco.

If robots do take over the world, this one probably won't be the leader.

Less than 5.8 centimeters tall — a little shorter than a lighter — it has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's smallest humanoid robot.

Humanoid robots look and act like humans. For the Guinness record, they must be able to move their shoulders, elbows, knees and hips, and also be able to walk.

Made by a Japanese student named Mitsuya Tatsuhiko, this one is less than half the size of the previous holder of the world record, which was made by students from Hong Kong.

Tatsuhiko is a postgraduate student at Nagoya Institute of Technology, where he researches crawler robots. Crawler robots don't look like humans, however, and they're used to inspect places that are hard to get to.

Tatsuhiko has been interested in robots since he was a child.

According to Guinness World Records, he built his first humanoid robot when he was 10.

He didn't spend as much time making them during high school, but he has returned to his passion as he has gotten older.

It took him a few tries to get his record-breaking robot right, and he worked hard to make it as small as he could.

He applied for the record with his third attempt while he was in the fourth year of his degree. He said he was very happy to have broken the record.

Tatsuhiko hopes to work with robots when he finishes university, but he'll also keep making them at home as a hobby.
