Will and Mary Part 7

Quadrilha

João amava Teresa que amava Raimundo
que amava Maria que amava Joaquim que amava Lili,
que não amava ninguém.
João foi para os Estados Unidos, Teresa para o convento,
Raimundo morreu de desastre, Maria ficou para tia,
Joaquim suicidou-se e Lili casou com J. Pinto Fernandes
que não tinha entrado na história.

[Alguma Poesia, 1930)

Episode 3 : A phone Call With a Travel Agent - Bilet Alıyorum...

Uno de los libros que más me ha impactado nunca es “Armas, gérmenes y acero” de Jared Diamond (premio Pullitzer - 1998). Un libro que, dependiendo de las convicciones religiosas o morales que tengas, te puede aclarar mucho el origen de la sociedad donde vives y de cómo ésta ha evolucionado hasta el día de hoy. 
En este gran libro, libro grande además por cierto, Jared asegura de que los primeros códigos de palabras, los primeros idiomas, localizados en el origen de la humanidad en el sureste de África, eran muy ricos en fonemas sin embargo, opuestamente, los idiomas de las últimas zonas del mundo en ser pobladas por nosotros, como  Nueva Zelanda o la Polinesia, tienen tan solo unos pocos.

What is "아싸라비요"?

Obviously, "아싸라비요" or "아싸라비아" is not a standard Korean expression, 
but it is commonly used by many Koreans. 
It is an exclamation that people use, to express their excitement or joy 
when something good happens. 
The short version "아싸!" is more commonly used.

If you meet good news or something happy, you can try saying "아싸!" to express your joy!

Don’t forget!
아싸!
