The USA has its quirks. But nothing really makes Americans prouder about it's red white and blue than that one special moment that all started in 1776.
That's right! I am talking about Independence Day!
Anita and Eric's discussion today talks about the one holiday that really makes Americans want to pull out the grills, see the awkward parts of their families, and most importantly, BLOW STUFF UP!
The world always has its eyes on the USA. The number of movies, TV, and news that come from America is abundant, to say the least. But not much is truly concrete on what happens on this memorial holiday. So our goal in today's episode is to bring some clarity and depth to how an average citizen would celebrate. If you’re ready to learn how Americans show their love for their country then let's tune into Episode 17 of Taiwanica!

全世界總是關注著美國。從美國傳來的電影、電視和新聞數量眾多,這已是言過其實。但對於這個紀念性節日,很少有人真正知道發生了什麼。因此,我們今天的目標是為您帶來一些關於普通公民如何慶祝這個節日的清晰和深入的了解。如果您已經準備好學習美國人如何表達對自己國家的愛,那麼就收聽Taiwanica第17集吧!

You ever have a friend bail you out of jail?
How about a friend who saved your ass from embarrassment?
We all have friends, some great, some that we wished we never met. Those friends from our childhoods who we met from our parents' child dates so that they could gossip. Or those friends from the sports we played who we never saw again afterward. Even friends from our friends who knew our friends from their friends.

Friends are everywhere. And they're an important part of life.
But why do we have all these different types of friends and why do some go and some stay?
A lot of people wonder about this and it's something that we want to discuss. One thing Anita and Eric have discovered from building and losing friends is that it helps build character, which will be the main part of the conversation in episode 28 of Taiwanica!
