                Emma   Have a nice day, doctor! Emma is speaking. I’ve been    Dr. Joe  Well, David! You should definitely eat less and exercise

                Everyone knows that fresh lemonade is preferred by most of the kids. Moms like to make it at home because it is
                both healthier and tastier than the ones sold at markets. You may think that we need too many lemons, but it is not
                necessary to squeeze kilos of lemons. There are only a few ingredients needed, three lemons, water and sugar. Here
                is my recipe for the world’s easiest lemonade: The lemons are frozen just one night before you use them. Then, they
                are washed and left at room temperature for about ten minutes. Next, they are chopped in a food processor, and a
                glass of sugar is added into it. The ingredients are blended until you get a smooth texture. After that, one and a half liter
                of water is poured into this mixture, and it is blended again until the sugar completely melts. Finally, it is drained with
                a wire strainer, and the juice is filled into a jar or a bottle. It is important to serve your drink cold, so you must cool it in
                the refrigerator at least for about an hour. It can be served with mint leaves. If you like it colder, you can add a few ice
                cubes into your glass. Bon appetite.

                Hello, everyone. Welcome to Bernie’s Podcast. Today, I’d like to tell you about the virtual museums in Türkiye. The museums were all closed at the
                beginning of the pandemic as a precaution. However, many of them were moved into a virtual environment by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Culture
                and Tourism. I strongly recommend you guys to visit the website www.sanalmuze.gov.tr, and take a virtual tour of these incredible museums. On the site,
                you can find 33 important museums of Türkiye which have been visited by almost 12 million people all around the world since March 25, 2020. The Troy
                Museum, the Zeugma Mosaic Museum, the İzmir Ephesus and the Göbeklitepe Archaeological Site Museum are just a few of them. Yesterday, I took a
                virtual tour of the Zeugma Mosaic Museum in Gaziantep, which has the most precious mosaics in the world. I’ve always wanted to visit there but never had
                a chance. Thanks to three-dimensional design and high-tech, I was able to experience Zeugma’s rich mosaic collection from my comfortable armchair.
                Zeugma is the world’s largest mosaic museum with 30,000 square metres of area. The mosaics of the Ancient City of Zeugma are about 2000 years old.
                If you take a tour, you’ll see the colorful mosaic collection about many subjects showing the lifestyle, architecture, plant and animal diversity of those times.
                The Gypsy Girl, who is a young woman with a scarf and round earrings, is the most famous example. Please write to me your impressions about the virtual
                museums that you’ve visited via my social media accounts. See you on the next episode.
