EP 45. COMPOUND PHRASES

Ollie Gamblin, 33, from the UK, and Lavinya Scholl, 35, from Germany, met in 2017 while cherry picking in Tasmania. Their mutual love for adventure took the pair all around Australia together — and seven years later, it took them all around the world, even earning them a Guinness World Record.

The pair recently became the youngest duo to circumnavigate the world on a motorcycle while riding pillion — which means one person driving and the other riding on the back. They visited 39 countries across five continents, riding 75,000 kilometers in 589 days.

"We wanted to see the world!" Ollie told us when we asked what their inspiration for the trip was. The idea of trying for a Guinness World Record came from the couple's friend, who had attempted a similar challenge.

"It made a good structure to the trip, a mission that we could aim for," Ollie added.

Beginning in London, the pair headed into France and Spain before crossing over into Morocco. They then rode south to Senegal before shipping their bike to Brazil.

The journey wasn't without its challenges — one being the pair's lack of motorcycle experience.

"We always go by the phrase 'learn by doing,'" Ollie told us. Reflecting on an oil slick that nearly sent them off a mountain road in Peru, he added: "Sometimes we truly believe that we must have had angels watching over us."

One of the biggest highlights for the pair was the generosity shown by the strangers they met, including an occasion in Nicaragua where a local man repaired their bike for free.

After riding around the bottom of South America and all the way up to Canada — stopping in Las Vegas to get married — they flew the bike to South Korea.

They then traveled west through Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, then through nine more countries in Europe to get back to the UK.

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。

Nihongo Short Story by Noriko

ジブリの金曜日

In the 1970s, renowned Colombian journalist Gonzalo Guillén reported a peculiar story that has since become a memorable anecdote. The tale revolves around a donkey in the town of Sogamoso, who finds himself on the wrong side of the law.

The donkey, in search of fresh grass to graze, wandered onto someone else’s property. This trespassing did not go unnoticed, and the donkey was promptly arrested. He was taken into preventive custody at the local police station, a rather unusual place for a donkey to end up.

But the story takes an even more bizarre turn. During the night, the hungry donkey, perhaps driven by the unfamiliar surroundings or the lack of his usual diet, turned to the only available source of sustenance - the police station’s paperwork. He devoured not only his own case file but also the documents of other detainees.

This incident, while humorous, also serves as a poignant reminder of the often absurd situations that can arise when the worlds of humans and animals intersect. It’s a story that continues to amuse and intrigue, decades after it first made headlines.

This story was originally written by  Gonzalo Guillén and posted on the @HELIODOPTERO X account. 

"Me haces recordar la noticia que redacté en los 70 sobre el burro que fue arrestado en Sogamoso por entrar a pastar en un predio ajeno. Quedó detenido preventivamente en la comisaría de policía y durante la noche se comió con hambre su propio expediente y los de otros presos."

Gonzalo Guillén is a well-known Colombian journalist and researcher. He has been in journalism since 1975 and has worked with various prestigious organizations such as El Tiempo, Colprensa, TV-HOY, La Prensa, El Universo, El País, The Miami Herald, and El Nuevo Herald.
