Tragos típicos de América Latina 

On some tour buses, you'll hear the guide welcome passengers in a number of different languages.

And at airports around the world, announcements might be made in more than one language to help more travelers understand what's being said.

But in Belgium, a train passenger made an official complaint after the conductor used both Dutch and French to say good morning.

The problem for this passenger was that the train was traveling through a city called Vilvoorde in the Flemish part of Belgium, where Dutch is the main language.

But Vilvoorde is very close to the capital, Brussels, where both Dutch and French are used.

The French-speaking conductor, named Ilyass Alba, wrote about the complaint on Facebook.

He said that after greeting passengers, one had replied: "We're not in Brussels yet, you have to use Dutch only!"

And while many people have taken Alba's side, the person who complained was technically correct — only Dutch should have been used.

According to the country's language rules, only Dutch should have been used while the train was in the Flemish part of the country. And as Belga News Agency explains, Belgium's rules say only French should be used when trains are in the French-speaking part of the country.

But announcements can be French and Dutch in Brussels. And on trains traveling to Brussels Airport, Dutch, French, German — another of Belgium's official languages — and English can be used.

Some Dutch-speaking politicians have said it's important that conductors stick to language rules.

But the country's French-speaking transport minister said that making passengers feel welcome is the most important thing.

The train company, SNCB, agreed with the transport minister. "Saying hello in several languages is just nice, we can only thank our conductors for that," an SNCB official told Agence France-Presse.

みなさんはどうやってジブリの映画を見ていますか？
ヨーロッパに住んでいる人はネットフリックスでジブリの映画をいつでも見ることができると思います。日本ではネットフリックスやアマゾンプライムでジブリの映画を見ることができません。
私の子供の頃はジブリのビデオかDVDを持っている人しか好きな時にジブリの映画を見ることができませんでした。
でも、金曜ロードショーという映画を放送するテレビ番組があり、その番組で定期的にジブリの作品を放送していました。私は金曜ロードショーでジブリの作品が放送されるときは必ず見ていました。今もこの番組は存在し、来週と再来週の金曜日にはまたジブリの作品を放送するそうです。今でもジブリの作品を放送する時は視聴率が高いそうです。
