Thoughts About My Name
I have learned English for a long time since primary school, but I have never had a proper and common English name. When I was a child, I called myself "Lihao", because it is my given name, even though it is quite different from those English names on textbooks, such as Mike and Lisa. After entering the university, I chose Vietnamese as my major. In Vietnamese culture, people often call others the last Vietname character when they greet someone. For an example, a guy's Vietnamese name is Đỗ Xuân Quang, so his friends and families call him Quang. Therefore I was called Hao by my Chinese classmates and Vietnamese friends during my study in the university. I got used to it as the time went by, because Hao is short, easy to pronounce and remember. And recently, I had some new thoughts about my unique English name. I realised Hao, which is 浩 in Chinese character, carries a beautiful meaning and represent my cultural identity. 浩 means vast, grand or torrential in Chinese. It is commonly used to describe vast spaces, turbulant waves or grand events. I feel a natural intimacy and unique bond with this name. Previously I felt a bit awkward if I introduce myself as Hao to other foreigners, since it is not a common English name. Now, I often tell others proundly and confidently that my name is Hao. :-)

Je ne rêve pas de travail
C'est une blague sur l'internet, mais c'est vrai. Je rêve de mon vie dehors de travail. Pour répondre à la question, j'aime un métier dynamique, parce que j'ai un esprit occupé. C'est difficile pour moi de concentrer donc je ne peux pas avoir un métier ennuyeuse où je dois assoir dans un siège toute la journée.

Aujourd'hui
Aujourd'hui je me suis réveillée à 8h et demi et j'ai fait un parfait yaourt avec des fraises, des graines de chia et des céréales à farines. J'ai fait un café et je l'ai pris dans un tasse thermos afin que je mangerais mon petit déjeuner d'abord. Quand je bois le café sur un estomac vide, je me sens mal. Cependant, c'est le plus difficile chose de mon vie. Après je travaillais de quelques heures avant je suis allée au bureau. Il faisait un peu froid donc je me suis habillée et j'ai porté un pull vert, une jupe noire, et des bottes en cuire noire. Pour le déjeuner, j'ai mangé une salade avec du poulet et j'ai bu une matcha. La fin :)

Our Family Travel Blog : Lunch in Prague #29
At last, it was time for the main dishes. My daughters chose a traditional Czech meal—beef stew served with knedlíky, the steamed bread dumplings we had seen in guidebooks.
I had actually wanted to try the duck, but Mr. L told me, “Since your kidneys aren’t in good shape, this would be better for you,” and recommended the pork instead. He also has kidney problems, so I found myself impressed by how knowledgeable he was about food.
Still, as I looked over the menu, I couldn’t help thinking that Czech cuisine seemed to be centered on rich, meat-heavy dishes, which didn’t exactly excite me. At the same time, I told myself, “Well, since I’m in the Czech Republic, I might as well try the local food.”
However, when the dish arrived, I couldn’t help staring. Three thick slices of pork were laid out across the entire plate. To be honest, it didn’t really make me think, “That looks delicious.”
“I’ll help you,” L said, taking one piece, but even then, finishing a single slice was a struggle.
I forced myself through another piece out of a sense of obligation not to waste food, but in the end, I still couldn’t finish it. My eldest daughter seemed interested in trying some, but she was already full.

Labour Day
Yesterday, May 1st was a public holiday called Labour Day in multiple countries.
It's a day to recognize the contributions of the workers.
Although this holiday also exists in the United States, it's celebrated on September 7th instead of May 1st.
This public holiday used to be something from the Soviet Union in the past, so in order to avoid its association with the Communist Party, the Americans celebrate it on another date.

My morning routine
I usually wake up at around 5:00.
I go to the park and enjoy walking.
Unfortunately, it was rainy this morning, but I had an umbrella.
I usually walk for around 30 minutes.
There are a few seniors in the park.
They look healthy. They have nice habits!
I often listen to Radio Nikkei, but on clear days, I like listening to nature sounds like singing birds.
I love nature. There are flowers, a pond, and trees. The irises are blooming; they are so beautiful.
My socks were getting wetter and wetter.
It was disgusting!
The rain was getting heavy, so I headed home.
I took a shower because I was so cold.
And now, I have finished writing this.

God Has Already Covered the Cost
When Donald Trump took office, he used two Bibles.
One was the Bible of President Abraham Lincoln, and the other was a gift from Trump's mother to him when he was a kid.
Two hundred and fifty years after 1776, even though the United States became the most powerful country in the world, it became extremely corrupt.
However, God did not give up the United States.
No matter which language or version of the Bible they read, when God's Word enters their hearts, God turns their lives around.
Did you read your Bible today?
I usually read the Gospel of Matthew.
I have never bought a Bible either Chinese or English version.
Because the Bibles were all given by the church, and God has already covered the cost.

The River Jordan
Today the river Jordan marks the boundary between the states of Israel-Palestine and the modern-day Kingdom of Jordan.
It flows south through Israel and eventually into the Dead Sea.
This river has a very special status in the Bible.
Naaman washed himself seven times in the River Jordan and was healed of his leprosy.
Joshua crossed it to conquer Canaan and Jesus was baptised in it to conquer sin.
In the Old Testament, the people who lived beyond the river Jordan were known as the Moabites.
Sadly the people who wrote the Bible didn't have very nice things to say about them.
According to the book of Genesis, the ancestor of the Moabites was the result of an incestuous love affair between Lot and his eldest daughter.
It's interesting that the Moabites wrote similar nasty stuff about the Israelites too.

Is this grammatically correct?
< Over time, many of their buttons became viewed as “extra” and removed , and with each reduction these devices eventually developed into the phones in our pockets.>
In this sentence, I would like to know whether 'removed' is grammatically correct or not.
I believe it can be used in parallel with 'viewed' after the verb 'became'.
Is this construction possible?

El agotamiento y un deseo que no es probable que suceda.
Esta semana ha sido muy ocupada así que estoy cansada. Con suerte, la próxima semana será más tranquila, pero pienso que no tengo suerte.
Dos preguntas:
1. ¿La frase previa funciona como un juego de palabras, con "con suerte" y "no tengo suerte"? Este juego de palabras no existe en mi texto original.
2. ¿En este caso, es "tranquila" el antónimo adecuado para "ocupada"?

Zurück in den Tagesablauf
Ich sitze gerade in der U-Bahn auf meinem Weg nach Hause. Wie jeden Freitagabend, bin ich heute zum deutschen Gesprächsklub gefahren und habe dort sehr tolle Zeit gehabt. Ich bin schon ein Teil dieser kleine Community geworden, was ja nur freuen kann.
Meine Reise ist sehr rechtzeitig gekommen, da ich diese Abwechslung und Energieschub wirklich gebraucht habe. Jetzt kann ich in meinen normalen Tagesablauf zurückkehren, ohne ihn, wie früher, leid zu sein. Ehrlich gesagt, habe ich gesundes Essen und meine Sportroutine vermisst.
