Notes
Uganda ウガンダ（アフリカの国)
United Arab Emirates アラブ首長国連邦
——————–
I am in Uganda traveling with a small group from Japan. Uganda is in East Africa, so the easiest way to go there is through the Middle East. We took Qatar Airways and flew via Doha, Qatar, to Entebbe, the international airport of Uganda. As we left Doha, the plane did not fly the short route over Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Instead, it flew around over Oman. Then I remembered that Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. are not friendly now. They don’t let Qatar Airways fly over, so the planes have to go around and take a longer route. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Go outside tonight and look at the moon. It will look bigger and brighter than usual. Actually, we missed the biggest supermoon of 2019 by a day. It was last night, but we couldn’t see it in Nagoya because of the rain. What is a supermoon? It is when the moon is full and closest to the Earth. Supermoons can be up to 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than normal moons. There are three supermoons this year. One was last month, one is happening right now, and the next one will be in March. If you miss this one, try again on March 21. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
