Kindness when travelling comes in so many forms. However, the story that happened in Greece has touched me the most.

I arrived late in Thessaloniki after my flight from the Czech Republic was delayed over three hours. Luckily, my Airbnb hostess still picked me up from the airport and made the 40-minute drive to her place. We got there around 11 pm!

As Greece was the starting point for the Middle East and the last place in my plan that used Euros as currency(货币), I ran low on cash. So I made a decision that I wouldn’t be spending any money on dinner that night. Instead, I would choose a cheap breakfast the next day. Upon hearing this, the mother of the lady hugged me tightly, said something in Greek, laughed, and left. I thought this was a goodnight hug and I prepared to go to bed.

A little bit later the older lady returned, with her daughter and a big plate of cheese, boiled eggs, and salad. She wouldn’t allow me to go to bed without a late-night dinner. I was totally surprised by this kind act towards a stranger. The meal was delicious, and although I tried to offer the ladies money as a thank you for their kindness, they refused. All the worries of the day disappeared and I went to bed smiling and with a full belly.

I loved everything Thessaloniki offered in the way of history, culture, and natural beauty. Despite the ongoing economic difficulties, this friendly Greek family fed a hungry stranger and really made my time in the northern part of Greece.

The baguette, a long, thin French bread, is being added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH，非物质文化遗产) list.

UNESCO experts gathering in Morocco this week decided that the simple French bread—made only of flour, water, salt, and yeast—was worth U.N. recognition, after France’s culture ministry warned of a “continuous drop” in the number of traditional bakeries (烘焙店), with some 400 closing every year over the past half century.

The UN cultural agency’s chief, Audrey Azoulay said, “the decision honors more than just bread; it recognizes the ‘graceful skills of bakers’ and ‘a daily ritual (仪式)’.” Azoulay added, “It is important that such baking knowledge and social practices can continue to exist in the future.”

With the bread’s new status (地位), the French government said it planned to create a baguette day, called the “Open Bakehouse Day”, to connect the French better with their heritage. Bakers in France seemed proud, if unsurprised. “Of course, it should be on the list because the baguette symbolizes the world,” said Asma Farhat, a baker at Julien’s Bakery. “If there’s no baguette, you can’t have a proper meal. In the morning you can toast it, for lunch it’s a sandwich, and then it accompanies dinner.”

Today, France’s 67 million people still buy baguettes at a variety of sales points, including in supermarkets. According to France’s “Bread Observatory”, the French eat 320 baguettes of one form or another every second. “It’s very easy to get bad baguette in France. It’s the traditional baguette from the traditional bakery that is in danger,” said one local resident, Marine Fourchier.

The baguette joins other food on the Intangible Cultural Heritage list, which UNESCO says, celebrates “traditions or living expressions from our ancestors (祖先) and passed on to our next generations.”

After a breakup, you might think you’re doing fine until you hear a particular love song on the radio. No matter how much you’d like to stop thinking about your ex (前任), everything is a reminder of the relationship. So, is it possible to erase unwanted thoughts?

The short answer is: maybe. But whether it’s advisable to do so in the long term is a difficult question. In some situations, it makes sense to suppress these unwanted thoughts. In an exam or job interview, for example, you don’t want to feel distracted (分心) by the thought that you’ll fail. And there’s evidence that it’s possible to prevent these thoughts, said Joshua Magee, a clinical psychologist.

In a 2022 study, researchers showed 80 volunteers a series of cards showing different nouns. Each noun was repeated on five different cards. As they viewed the cards, the volunteers wrote down a word connected with each noun—for example, “road” in response to the word “car”. The researchers told the first group they had to think of a new word each time they were shown a card. The second group could repeat as many nouns as they wished. With this method, the researchers tried to emulate (模拟) what happens when someone hears that love song on the radio and tries desperately to think of anything other than their ex.

The results showed that when volunteers saw each noun for a second time, the first group took longer than the second group to come up with a new word—suggesting that their first response flashed into their mind before they replaced it. However, volunteers in the first group got quicker each time they viewed the same card, which showed that the thought they were trying to avoid was weakening.

However, other research suggests that avoiding thoughts can cause the opposite effect. When we hold back a thought, we’re making the thought more powerful by attempting to control it.

In the end, it might make more sense to be careful about these unwanted thoughts and simply wait for them to pass rather than avoiding them.
