Halloween is a fun and spooky holiday that people celebrate on October 31st each year. But do you know where it comes from, and why we wear scary costumes? Let's explore the history of Halloween and costumes!
Halloween started a very long time ago, around 2,000 years ago. It began with an ancient Celtic festival called "Samhain" (pronounced sah-win). The Celts lived in what is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and France. Samhain was a special time when they celebrated the end of summer and the beginning of winter.
The Celts believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the living and the dead was very thin. They thought that the spirits of the dead could come back to Earth on this night. Some people were afraid of these ghosts, so they dressed up in costumes to hide from them. They also lit bonfires to scare the ghosts away.
In the 8th century, the Christian church started a holiday called "All Saints' Day" on November 1st. It was a day to remember and honor all the saints. The night before, on October 31st, became known as "All Hallows' Eve," which later turned into "Halloween."
Over time, Halloween came to America with immigrants from different countries. People brought their own customs and traditions, and Halloween became a mix of all these traditions. One of these traditions was dressing up in costumes, which became a big part of Halloween.
Today, Halloween is a day for fun and creativity. People of all ages wear costumes, but the costumes are not just scary. You can be anything you want – a superhero, a princess, a witch, or even a funny animal. People also go trick-or-treating, where kids dress up in costumes and go door to door asking for sweets.
So, when you see people in scary costumes on Halloween, remember that it all began with the Celts who wanted to protect themselves from ghosts. Now, Halloween is a time for everyone to enjoy dressing up and having a spooky good time.

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。

さて、今回も旅行の続きですね。
ドイツで思った日本と違うことについて話します。

いろいろ調べてみるとヨーロッパの他の国も多いみたいですが、日本とは圧倒的に違うことがありました。

それは車です。
今、日本の車はほとんどがオートマーautomaticです。
ドイツでは、ほとんどがマニュアルーmanual、stickでした。

はじめ、知り合いの方の車に乗せてもらった時に、マニュアル車でビックリしました。よっぽど車の運転が好きなんだなと思って話していたのですが、彼だけでなく、ほとんどの人がマニュアルに乗ってるよ、ということでした。

それで、翌日の朝、歩いている時に駐車されている車を何台も見ました。見た車のほとんどがマニュアル車でした。それは本当におどろきでした。

日本では、今マニュアル車を探すのは結構むずかしいと思います。

あともう1つ感じたことは、ものを長く使う文化がある、ということです。車ももちろんそうですが、街の中でも、新しくないけど、ずっと使われているような雰囲気がありました。

ドイツ人と日本人は似ているところがある、と聞くことがあります。ぼくもそう思うこともあります。ですが、たぶん1つ違うことは、日本人は新しいものが好きです。古いものももちろん好きですし大切にしますが、それよりも新しいものが好きな人が多いと思います。ドイツ人は古いものや昔からあるものを大切にしているんじゃないかな、と思いました。

個人的にはそこが違う部分でおもしろいなと思いました。


はい、ということで、今回は以上です。
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！
