Zumindest versuchte ich, etwas zu kochen!
In der Prüfungsphase bin ich etwas faul geworden. Mindestens wenn es um wie ich mich ernähre geht. In der letzten zwei Wochen bin ich vielleicht sogar sechsmal draußen zu einem der Restaurants, die in der Nähe sind, zum Abendessen. Wieder gestern habe ich nach ein paar Bier nach einer enttäuschenden Leistung bei meiner Flüssigkeitsdynamikprüfung keinen Bock auf was zu kochen gehabt, also bin ich mit dem Fahrrad die Straße runter, um Schwarma zu holen. Ich bestellte einen Teller mit Hühnchen und einige Falafel dazu. Ich könnte nur die hälfte essen, also habe ich den Rest in den Kühlschrank gepackt.
Heute Abend hatte ich vor, es wieder aufzuwärmen und essen, aber nachdem ich im Kühlschrank ein bisschen herumbegraben hatte, habe ich die Tupperware gesehen, in der ein halbes Kilo Rindfleisch schon seit mehreren Tagen lag. Ich habe die Deckel entfernt und an ihn ein bisschen herumgeschnüffelt. Es reicht ein bisschen komisch, aber nur sehr wenig und nicht unbedingt schlecht. Es hat nur die gewöhnliche braune Farbe, vom ermüdeten Rindflisch, der eine Weile im Sauerstoff ausgesetzt wurde.
Ich habe es sowieso in eine Pfanne mit einige Öl geworfen und begann ihn zu kochen. Nach einen Minuten hat es einen leisesten Geruch nach Essig gehabt, aber es war nicht so Stark und vielleicht war es auch nur im Köpf, also machte ich weiter. Ich habe das kleinste Stückchen geknabbert, um es auszuprobieren und ich dachte mir "na ja, das geht schon...". Ich habe eine rote Paprika und eine Zwiebel dazu geschnitten und gekocht und habe alles viel mit Kreuzkümmel, Knoblauchpulver, Paprikapulver, Sumach, Salz und Pfeffer gewurzt, um fragliche Geschmäcker zu verstecken.
Ich habe den Rest des Schwarmes von Gestern dazu hineingefügt und nachdem alles wieder warm und gemischt worden war, habe ich es in die Schüssel gepackt. Ich versuchte es zu essen, aber ehrlich wurde ich das Gefühl nicht los, dass dieser Haufen von Gewürzen einen komischen Geschmack verborgen, also habe ich fast alles rein in die Tonne gehauen.

Oggi
Non mi è piaciuto il libro che stavo leggendo, ho smesso di leggerlo.
Mi ha frustrata che c'erano molte informazioni, era travolgente.
Oggi mio cugino ha perso nella sua partita di fut.
Il nuovo gatto della mia nonna è più tranquilla.
Mio fratello e io abbiamo giocato volley, recentemente abbiamo acquistato una palla da volley.
Adesso vado a dormire!

Dear Penpal
Hi friends!
My name is Ellie, and I’m writing to you from China. I’m so happy to introduce myself and connect with you through this letter.
To be honest, I see myself as a pretty ordinary person — maybe even a little silly sometimes — but I think that's okay! I currently work in a data entry job. It’s not very exciting, but it helps me cover my living expenses.
Right now, I live in a small rental unit in Yantai, which is only about a 10-minute walk from my office. The rent is 800 RMB per month — much cheaper than when I lived in Qingdao. Although it’s a small space, I really love it because I don’t have to share it with anyone. It’s peaceful and cozy. I enjoy relaxing at home and watching TV shows in my free time.
How about you, my unknown friend? I’d love to hear about your life, your home, and what makes you happy.
Looking forward to your reply!
Best regards,
Ellie

My dream holiday
My dream holiday would be on a warm, sunny island, like Hainan Island in China. I’d spend my days lying on the beach, listening to the sound of the waves and soaking up the sun. I’d eat fresh seafood, swim in the ocean, and maybe try surfing. If I had enough money, I would love to stay there forever and live a peaceful, slow-paced life by the sea.

Chercher vos conseils de jardinage II
Bonjour Madame,
Merci pour votre réponse!
Suivant tes conseils, j’ai acheté Early Girl à Golden Acres ; je le mets à rebord de ma fenêtre (window sill?) jusqu'à ce que le temps s'améliore. Malheureusement, je n'ai pas trouvé les autres variétés de tomates vous avez mentionné, mais un membre du personnel m’a dit qu'elles arriveraient dans les semaines prochaines. Je sais que vous avez mentionné qu’il n’a pas une bonne idée à planter les plantes de tomates à côté des pommes de terre; et si je plante un type de tomate à côté de l'autre ?
Mon père avait un potager à Laval avec une grande variété de légumes. Il parle de ça souvent pendant le printemps quand il est le temps d'année à préparer le potager. Quand il a acheté une maison ici à Calgary, il a essayé encore de cultiver un jardin, mais il ne faisait que pour quelques années (en 2009 à 2011 je pense). Pourtant, il continue à essayer encore chaque année. Même l'année dernière, je l'ai aidé à préparer la terre à planter, mais à la fin d'août nous n’avions que cinq haricots à cause de la tempête de grêle. Que feriez-vous dans une tempête pour protéger votre potager ?
Est-ce que l’ail que vous avez planté l’automne passé a commencé à cultiver ?

Resumen de HP y la orden del fénix - Parte 21
Parte veintiuno.
Después de que Umbridge atrapó a Harry y Hermione, Malfoy y sus compinches arrastraron a Neville, Luna, Ginny y Ron a su despacho. Umbridge no creyó los pretextos de Harry y le ordenó a Malfoy que fuera a buscar a Snape. Quería que Snape administrara suero de la verdad a Harry, pero Snape le dijo que se había agotado cuando interrogaron al hijo de Crouch. Harry trató de explicarle a Snape lo sucedido en lenguaje codificado, pero Snape se limitó a mirarlo fríamente, dijo que decía disparates y se marchó. Umbridge afirmó que no tenía más remedio que lanzarle la maldición cruciatus a Harry para obligarlo a hablar. También admitió que había sido ella quien envió a los dementores a Hogwarts el año anterior. Mientras Umbridge estaba a punto de lanzarle la maldición, Hermione se echó a llorar y dijo que tenían que contarle la verdad: que usaban la chimenea para decirle a Dumbledore que "el arma ya estaba lista".
Umbridge picó el anzuelo y exigió que la condujeran a esta tal "arma". Harry y Hermione obedecieron y la llevaron al Bosque Prohibido. En el bosque, se encontraron con los centauros, a quienes Umbridge se refirió como "híbridos", lo que ellos tomaron como un grave insulto. Luego intentó atacarlos antes de que Bane la levantara y se la llevara. Mientras los demás centauros discutían si Harry y Hermione eran aún niños o si eran lo suficientemente mayores para ser considerados "adultos" (y, por lo tanto, si debían matarlos), Grawp apareció de repente y se lanzó sobre los centauros. En medio de la conmoción, Harry y Hermione escaparon del bosque.

Outer Wilds
今日はOuter Wildsというビデオゲームを話したいと思う。
あらすじを説明しようとするからネタバレに注意ください。この物語設定は他の銀河に起こっているんだ。小さい惑星からの人物を操作している。最近この種族は宇宙船を打ち上げほど成長した。そして銀河を探検したい。
昔Nomaiという宇宙種族が生きたけどそんな宇宙種族いきなり蒸発した。今日はこの文明から荒廃しか残らない。最近Nomaiの言語に翻訳機が生み出された。私のキャラクターがNomai翻訳機を持って銀河を巡ってNomaiの文章を解読できます。そんなビデオゲームは謎みたいだよ。なんでNomaiはこの銀河についたか？何を探したか？どうやてみんながいきなり蒸発したか？ものすごく興味をそそってるね。

關於生活中的「適合」
人生中有两件重要的事：找到一份适合自己的工作，以及找到一个适合相伴一生的人。
我认为，这两件事的开始，都源自于对自己的认知。我们需要了解自己的优点，从而发挥它；也要认清自己的不足，然后努力改进。自我觉察，是做出明智选择的第一步。
人们常说“理想工作”或“理想伴侣”，但“理想”到底是什么？每个人的定义都不同。对我而言，理想的工作，是我能够真正付出、并帮助他人解决生活问题的工作。而理想的伴侣，则是能和我一起构建幸福家庭、彼此支持、共同成长的人。
最后，我相信，真正的「适合」不是单纯地“找到对的人、对的事”，而是在过程中不断修正和提升自己。每天，我都在努力改善自己的不足，让自己越来越适合我所选择的工作，也越来越值得被深爱。

On Compatibility in Life
In life, there are two important choices most of us face: finding a job that suits us, and finding a person to love and build a life with.
I believe that to begin either of these journeys, we must first look inward. We need to recognize our own strengths to develop, and our weaknesses to improve. Self-awareness is the foundation for making wise choices.
We often talk about the idea of an "ideal"—an ideal job and an ideal partner. But what does ideal really mean? Everyone has their own definition. For me, an ideal job is one where I can contribute and help others solve real-life problems. And an ideal partner is someone who builds a happy family with me, someone who supports and grows with me.
In the end, I believe that compatibility is not just about “finding the right one,” but also about constantly improving ourselves. Every day, I try a little harder to work on my shortcomings, so I can grow more compatible—with the job I pursue, and the person I love.

Lunch Dilemma – What Should I Eat
I always have a hard time deciding what to eat for lunch.
Maybe a "two meats and one veggie" combo is my standard meal.
For the meats, I’m thinking about mouthwatering poached chicken in chili oil or spicy pepper chicken nuggets.
But I also crave some braised chicken gizzards today… What a struggle!
For the veggie, should I go with century egg with stir-fried green chili, or maybe some sizzling potato strips in dry pot style?
Ugh, choosing lunch feels like the biggest decision of the day!

Me
I was born and raised in a small village in a farmer’s family. I lived there until I was fifteen years old.
When I was fifteen years old, I went to a specialized technical secondary school in my hometown to study.
Three years later, I graduated from that school and was assigned to a job in another county.
After I worked there for four years, I was transferred back to the city where I had studied.
In my hometown, I have worked in three different departments, but all of them belong to the agriculture industry.
In the late eighties, I married a nurse who worked in the local traditional Chinese hospital.
The next year, we had our only child, my son. Now my son works in the fourth hospital of my city as a network engineer.
My wife retired in 2020. I have two years left before I am allowed to retire due to the different retirement ages for different genders in China.
I am not a rich person, nor is my family. All we want is to have healthy bodies and a peaceful life. I hope this for my readers too.

A Unique Bathing Culture in Northern China
Let me share something that foreigners might not know about China.
In northern China, especially in winter, many people go to public bathhouses to take a shower or soak in hot pools. These bathhouses usually have separate areas for males and females, but everyone bathes together in the same large space. It’s common to be completely naked in front of others.
For people from southern China — or even other countries — this might seem strange or uncomfortable, because they’re used to showering privately at home in a modern bathroom.
But in the north, this is not just about cleaning — it’s also part of the social culture. People chat, relax, and even bring their kids. It’s like a small community gathering!

What Kind of Shows Can Help Me Learn About Australian Cultur
I’d like to watch some TV shows to help me learn more about Australian culture.
Could you please recommend some interesting shows — such as reality shows, game shows, or even children’s programs?
I’m especially interested in shows that are fun and easy to understand.
It would be great if they can also improve my English listening skills while helping me explore the local way of life in Australia.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

My Younger Sister
My sister is three years younger than me. She was not very fond of studying. When she graduated from middle school, she came to my oldest brother’s home to take care of my brother’s son, my nephew.
Maybe only a few years later, she came to Xinjiang to my aunt's home to help her with her business.
In the 1990s, I helped her go back to my hometown and I started a small business for her.
After maybe two or three years, she applied for a job at a local big mall where she worked for around twenty years.
She got married when she was working in the mall. Her husband was a worker in a local textile mill.
After she retired from that mall, she started a small company to help people apply for their business license.
She has a daughter, who is a civil servant in Hangzhou now.
My sister has two houses. One is in the same city as me, the other is in Hangzhou. She lives between these two houses accordingly.

Keine Titel
Ich habe gemerkt, dass ich mehr auf Deutsch denken konnte, und ich freue mich darauf.
Es ist ein tolles Gefühl, zu sehen, wie viel man in einer Sprache schon erreicht hat. Es motiviert total auch.
Trotzdem es ist noch frustrierend, wenn man ein Fehler macht oder wenn man kann nicht sich gut ausdrücken.
Wie nützlich ist aber das Wort "man"! Ich denke das immer, als ich in meiner Muttersprache spreche, weil wir nicht das Wort haben.
Es gibt keine wörtliche Übersetzung.

Die Kanadier(innen) haben beim Eishockeyspiel in Ottawa die US-Nationalhymne ausgebuht. Ich habe den Youtube-video gesehen. Ich habe immer den Star Spangled Banner gehasst, aber ich habe nie so eine Reaktion in einem Stadion gehört. Meine Tante in Vancouver hat mich angerufen. Niemand kauft im Supermarkt amerikanische Produkte. Alle amerikanisches Bier und Schnaps wurden aus den Regalen ausgenommen. Ich habe auf den Nachrichtenseiten im Internet gelesen, dass viele Kanadier(innen) ihre Winterferienurlauben in den USA abgesagt haben.
Trump hat gerade das falsches Land ans Bein angepisst!

My Superior’s Long Weekend (Jealous!)
Vivian will be on vacation from Friday to Monday.
I really admire my superior because she always seems to have more time off than we do.
She works in Australia now, while we, the Chinese team, are still working in China.
There are so many public holidays in Australia!
The next three days are all public holidays in NSW — how amazing is that?
Sometimes I wonder: when will I ever have so many vacations?
Maybe… never! 😅

Onigiri - Part 1 (121)
When I went to New York City last month, I saw a shop called "Wasabi" while walking on the street.
It looked familiar.
Then, I remembered the shop was the same one I've seen in London.
They were selling Japanese food.
My friend and I were missing Japanese food at the time, so we decided to go in.
I saw an interesting onigiri called "Nori Onigiri" that I've never seen in Japan.
I decided to buy it because I was curious about the filling inside.
At the time, I thought the name sounded weird because nori is something wrapped around rice balls.
When I open it I was shocked.
To be continued...
