皆さんは卒業旅行に行ったことがありますか？

＃15 大学時代の卒業旅行の話

North Macedonia is a small European country with no coastline. It's surrounded by places that are more popular with tourists, including Greece to the south.

But wait — don't write off North Macedonia just yet! Here are just a few good reasons to visit a country Lonely Planet calls a "little-known gem."

Many travelers start with a place that's been described as one of Europe's best-kept secrets: Lake Ohrid.

The area, which includes the lake and the old town of Ohrid, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it's easy to see why.

Old monasteries look down over the clear blue waters of the lake, which is one of Europe's oldest and deepest.

The town, which is said to be home to 365 churches — one for each day of the year — is also one of Europe's oldest. You can walk along the walls of the fortress, look around the town's old streets or relax by the water.

But there's more to see in a country that was part of Yugoslavia until 1991. Travel away from the lake and you'll find green national parks that are still home to bears, wolves and lynx.

But don't worry: there are lots of places where you can enjoy nature without getting close to those animals! Some people like to walk 2,500 meters to the top of Ljuboten, which means "the peak of love."

In winter, those same mountains are great for skiing. Many visitors choose to go to Mavrovo National Park, which is not far from Ohrid.

The capital, Skopje, is in the north of the country. It's a city full of quirky statues and lots of different types of architecture.

And don't miss the beautiful painted mosque in the nearby town of Tetovo.

North Macedonia might not be a hidden gem for much longer!

#451  N3 漢字　在(ざい)について！

Existe un taco CUYO origen es incierto, ALGUNOS creen que surgió en la capital mexicana OTROS  dicen QUE comenzó su vida taquera en el estado vecino. Sea cuál sea su origen, lo único que podemos decir es que son una bomba de sabor. Hablamos de los tacos placeros.

Historiadores taqueros cuentan las hipótesis del origen de ese manjar divino dónde se mezcla la pasión por la fiesta taurina y la pereza - flojera, mejor dicho - del mexicano un domingo por la tarde. La primera hipótesis dice que estos tacos surgen de los mercados populares donde marchantes daban a sus clientes a probar su mercancía sobre una tortilla que iba directo a la mano del cliente con nopalitos o chicharrón, según fuera el puesto. Esto significa que el taco placero regresa al pasado gastronómico de la cultura mexicana. Otra teoría dice que dependen del estado donde se preparen. Se dice que en la Ciudad de México se les comenzó a llamar así desde 1946, por los tacos de chicharrón y carne que se vendían en la Plaza de Toros los días de corridas. Tras terminar el evento taurino, los visitantes salían del recinto y fuera de la plaza se encontraban personas vendiendo tacos de chicharrón y carne de res, costumbre que continúa hoy en día y a la que se han sumado todo tipo de tacos: de guisado, suadero, bistec con nopales, etc.
