[Music] episode 11 dora interviews the new yorkers hello team how are you doing today we're doing we're doing great second it third it that's good to know what a spirit so coming to the team meeting today i hope that you will all actively participate in giving new ideas for the next interview yes yes you will okay team tell me what you've got after doing the research on what the current trends are and what will be popular according to what we found out this month is all about valentine's day and important sports events yeah good insight go ahead so what is on your mind right now from our point of view march has a very fascinating festival which is saint patrick's day on 17th of march how is that event related to us please explain more about it firstly we'd like to tell you what we found interesting about saint patrick's day we all know that the color green shamrocks are lucky leaves leprechauns are some of the most popular symbols of this festival agree although saint patty's day is an event which has an origin from ireland however the new york citizens are very in favor of this vegetable leprechauns are actually one reason you're supposed to wear green on st patrick's day or risk getting pinched the tradition is tied to folklore that says wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns which like to pinch anyone they can see that's the color green game day huh don't forget it's a pinching day as well the thing is that not everyone believes in the myth let's take me as an example i've never worn green on st patrick's day neither do i in boston we just celebrate this festival with beer and an irish-american meal which is corned beef and cabbage therefore we're going to raise two big questions did they follow the pinching tradition and how do they dress on st patrick's day oh so your interview will be about fashion and belief i like it let's start doing it now [Music] hello new york i'm tina shen i'm dora pearson from health and lifestyle of the new york headlines dora do you know which festival is most loved by our new york citizens in march if i'm not wrong i guess it's saint patrick's day you're so right so today our job is to interview people on how they dress up on st patty's day this is so exciting let's go [Music] excuse me i'm tina shen from the new york headlines do you have time for an interview sure i have time what's your name i'm sabrina nice to meet you sabrina have you heard of the myth that the leprechauns will pinch you if you don't wear green on st patrick's day yes i have that's why i always wear green clothes at the festival how you choose things to put on especially green is a challenging color to do the mix and match well i have just bought a light green dress with a little floral pattern so you try to follow the traditional color theme but with a little bit of touch of fashion that's right i don't think that people always need to wear green t-shirts and leprechaun hats cool i can imagine your dress right now it must be looking very flattering on you thank you thank you so much for your time sabrina [Music] hello sir i'm dora pearson of the new york headlines do you have time for a couple of questions sure can you tell us a little bit about yourself i'm luke 40 years old i'm from chicago i'm a financial consultant thank you for spending your time with us mr luke st patrick's day is around the corner how do you often celebrate that festival when i was in college my friends and i used to throw a small party with a lot of beers and finger foods but now i'm married i have a beautiful wife and adorable daughter so that i always spend time with my family for any holidays spending time with your loved ones is a meaningful thing sir how about wearing green outfits on st patty's day i don't wear green when going out on the street because i couldn't wear a green suit otherwise my customers will misunderstand me with the leprechauns you really have a sense of humor once again thank you for joining in this interview you're so welcome have a nice day sir [Music] excuse me i'm dora from the nyh hi i'm clara and this is taylor my best friend we're high school students nice to meet both of you what are you doing we're reading books for our assignments at school do you mind if i ask you some quick questions i think we're good thank you so i want to ask you about st patrick's day do you wear green at the festival yes actually we have st patty is weak at school for the whole week we will try to put on the greenest stuff that we can yeah we enjoy that week very much how interesting what if they don't wear green items they will definitely get bad luck like getting asked tough questions by our teachers and they will be pinched by us oh really sounds hurtful huh thank you clara and taylor enjoy your study time people have different opinions on how to celebrate st patrick's day but i hope that luck will come to everyone that's right and this is the end of the news see you again goodbye [Music] episode 12 girls talk [Music] dora how was that white dress come on hurry up girl i'd love to see if it looks good on you wait a minute i'm almost done in case it doesn't i've already

him i just don't like him remember what i told you about the wasabi guys troy is a wasabi guy oh yes i can pick those characteristics of him up just by listening to what he said mary's french she's an exclusive model of cherry boom agency don't be so mean jess troy really needs to learn how to control himself and not be an arrogant person when we were dating he acted like he was my mom was he such a controller in love he was and still is that's who he is he would be annoyed if i didn't wear matching outfits with his he told me what i could eat and could not it was such a nightmare for me he didn't allow you to eat sweets and fast food did he yes he was literally my mom my mom always says that if i eat one more chocolate bar i will be an oversized model poor you my mom and dad are food lovers they usually encourage me to eat more do more exercise to be more healthy oh my dad said the same thing you don't like to talk too much about your family right my parents worked far from home since i was a little girl so most of the time of my childhood i was being raised and taken care of by granny she must be a very cool woman she is you have to meet my granny someday she's like the marilyn monroe of my family the most elegant woman on this planet she cooks she dances she sews and she can do everything sounds great i'll be happy to meet your family by the way i'm so curious about

high school year i was investing all my time in modeling classes and extra activities no more time left for dating and talking with the boys yes i understand youtuber classmates we were his name is peter he was the leader of our high school's rugby [Applause] wow sporty guy who had the special feelings for the other first i don't know i guess we had very strong chemistry with each other during working in pairs in our science class what a story at the end of our first year peter asked me to go to the prom with him and that was when we started being a couple my high school friends always said that peter and i were really cute together and i thought they were right things seemed pretty fine so what happened with you two well in our senior year we got to choose universities to apply right peter always wanted to become a professional rugby player he applied for a university here in new york and i was chosen to receive a scholarship at boston university so you guys had a long-distance relationship yeah we talked and we understood how hard for both of us to be in a long-distance relationship therefore we broke up how sad but did you mention that peter was going to a university in new york i did why don't you ask him where he has been peter's probably here i think that you two still have a chance oh jess the past is in the past already expect the unexpected my friend episode 13

oh my freaking lord jesus what on earth is happening to you dora that's a very long story my friends i bet you can make it short for us all right long story short jess and her boyfriend mike had a huge fight now justice crying her eyes out all day so i couldn't sleep when my flatmate needed me the most ouch she must be really sad the buddy mike must get into really big trouble you two are both right as the old scene goes everything happens for a reason they are always love birds they couldn't fight over anything they had a row because mike was pretty close with his colleague penny who is also a computer scientist the problem is that just thinks penny has a special feeling for mike and from mike's side of the story penny is just a friendly colleague omg there is a girl involved red flag that's definitely a red flag in their relationship what is a red flag it is something your partner does that shows a lack of respect honesty or interest in the relationship tim is totally right dora this is a real story of mine i once forgot to tell my wife that i was going to eat out with tim she was so mad at me so i had to sleep on the sofa for a week i witnessed that dora my story was just a small red flag however my advice for mike and jess is that they gotta be completely open and honest with each other about everything wow duncan those are such words of wisdom arguments play a vital role in relationships they help us understand our partner more put ourselves in others shoes more thank you guys so much i know what i should do to help my friends now my pleasure [Music] mike is speaking hey mike it's dora hey dora is just fine she's fine but i'm afraid that she would never stop crying no my jess what should i do dora jess is too envious she just wants to believe what she believes now i think you two should have a real talk with each other without saying things that can hurt others feelings this is just a misunderstanding indeed just come over and have dinner with us tonight mike i'm gonna help you too i will thank you so much [Music] hey girl do you stop crying now i didn't cry anymore until you asked about that i'm so sorry jess you have to listen to me you and mike need to talk to solve this misunderstanding it's not a misunderstanding mike is falling for penny that's why he protected her calm down my friend if he likes penny why doesn't he date her right away why did he want to come over tonight to say sorry mike is coming go to our house tonight yeah he is he can't see me in this miserable situation i gotta get changed you should buddy i'll be in charge of buying food for tonight don't worry you are my savior my angel dora thanks [Music] jess mike this will be a talk of positive words only we listen to each other with sympathy and respect no interrupting no yelling at others i will ask and all you need to do is confess what you really think can you two do it yes i can okay jess how do you feel about mike being close with another girl i'm not feeling comfortable especially when penny likes mike mike what do you think about what jess has just said i'm sorry for making you uncomfortable penny treats me as a friend a colleague i had a talk with her about this and she agreed to meet jess to clarify everything she did oh jess mike is speaking i'm sorry so mike what did you learn from all this i think it's about being clear to each other never let your partner feel uncertain unsafe uncomfortable in the relationship yes how about you jess what things did you wish that you did differently i wish my kid told me about penny i wish mike had told me about his talk with penny about us sooner i wouldn't have cried so much if we had done it anything else jess i shouldn't have made a fuss about everything okay i think you two have learned your lessons so no more quarrel no more making a fuss you two are all good yes yes i think i'm more in love with you now oh my dear jessica i love you ew save it for later lovebirds now let's

23 years old already how old are you i'm 18 years old i'm taking a gap year before university to experience more that's a wise decision i suppose but why did you choose greece to be your first destination i want to apply for the archaeology major because ancient history totally draws my attention that's awesome alex you can tell me what you know when we're in greece absolutely dora good afternoon passengers this is the pre-boarding announcement for flight 25d to greece at 9 30. we are now inviting those passengers with small children and any passengers requiring special assistance to begin boarding at this time it's our flight announcement get yourself ready [Music] episode 16 dora goes to greece part two hello everyone did you miss me in the previous episode i was flying to greece i met alex at the airport and we became friends during five days in greece we have gone sightseeing pretty much everywhere we could alex and i have tried some greek cuisines and made friends with lovely local people too five days is not long but i think it's enough to conclude that greece is an amazing country keep watching this episode to understand why greece is wonderful and worth visiting once in your lifetime i can't believe i'm here in athens the capital city of greece yeah right it's so sunny now and the air smells so fresh i can see the blue sea from way over there you do where is it look in that direction oh there it is it's a stunning view a sight to be seen yeah the sea is so blue and sparkling under the sunlight speaking of blue color do you know the meaning of the greek flag i don't what is it blue represents greece's sea and sky while white stands for the purity of the struggle for freedom it really blew my mind young girl according to what we learned about greece through history classes greek people really suffered a lot from thousands of wars and battles for freedom thank you alex for that informative information wow do you know that my travel book said greece enjoys more than 250 days of sunshine or 3 000 sunny hours a year yes the weather is pretty much like this all year round it's very rewarding for us to stroll around the city all day indeed the ancient monuments that are scattered all over the city are worth a visit yes most tourists visit athens in search of its is past so do we let's go [Music] here we are at the acropolis of athens the acropolis of athens was a runner-up for the new seven wonders of the world have you traveled to any wonders in the world before dora i have not this is my first time seeing a wonder with my own eyes too the building is fabulous even though it is destroyed partly my travel book said that in the past acropolis was a religious center dedicated to the worship of the goddess athena athena is the goddess of beauty isn't she no alex that's aphrodite athena is the goddess of wisdom war and crafts you seem to know a lot about greek gods dora i'd love to hear ancient stories sure in general there were 12 gods of mount olympus they were the most important divine characters in ancient greece however the greeks did not always agree on the twelve why is that so [Music] strolling around the city really exhausted me i really need to grab something to eat like some fried chicken wings or a burger for example no chance alex we're in greece the country is known around the world for its delicious and healthy cuisine yes silly me by the way what food did your travel book recommend us it said the first thing we should taste in greece is a dish named musaka like the name of that restaurant that's right the dish is probably their best seller let's come inside alex hurry up hurry up i can't wait anymore excuse me we're american do you speak english oh yes i do welcome to musaka how can i help you thank you we want to order two plates of masaka but first of all can we know what masaka is yeah musaka sounds like a character in lion king to me we heard that a lot is musaka using the meat of animals such as hyena lion or something stop being ridiculously funny alex i just want to know don't let that fancy word scare you off moussaka is a traditional greek dish made of ground lamb eggplant and tomatoes with cheese on top mossaka in greek means eggplant or aubergine so the main ingredient ina mosaka is eggplant eggplant that is layered with a tomato meat sauce and topped with a melt-in-your-mouth cheese sauce and it tops this moussaka like a golden crown on the king lamb sounds delicious already traditionally it was made with ground lamb but in more modern times it is usually made with ground beef you can choose between beef or lamb thank you so much for your hospitality i'd like to have a musaka with ground lamb how about you alex one beef moussaka for me please oh i'll have an olive salad too dora would you like some salad too i had your order noted down your dishes will be served in 15 minutes [Music] i can't believe it time flew so fast yes i was happy that i had you beside me the last five days i've learned so many things from you dora ditto without you i didn't know those survival skills when traveling abroad no biggie thanks to you i've earned some merit badges too you're so awesome alex what are you up to after this trip my next destination is italy we scouts are going to attend an international camp in venice venice is full of charms i hope you will have a great time there alex i'm gonna misuse much dora me too all right let's bottle up for our sisterhood and our friendship cheers [Music] episode 17 dora's computer is broken down welcome back to dora's stories in the previous episode dora had a wonderful time in greece the land of gods with delightful sceneries after the trip dora comes back to the city to lead a busy but dynamic life good morning dora morning jess why did you wake up so early it's sunday today isn't it you don't have to go to work no i don't after my traveling there are tons of work cut out for me jess poor you my friend today is sunday fun day i'll do something fun like what i'm thinking about going somewhere nice and taking a walk in the park how to undo this it can't be like that no no no what happened my laptop is acting up again it suddenly shut down and i could not open it anymore oh no how bad [Music] this is my go-to store whenever my laptop stops running they have the best service ever thank you for going with me hello miss what may i help you with there is something wrong with my laptop i couldn't turn it on anymore some of our customers have faced the same problem but we can't be so sure our computer repair technicians will check it thoroughly don't worry when will my computer get fixed it will take at least one day since our store is a bit crowded today all right i get it thanks for choosing us i'll give you a call when we finish the repair hey how's it going what did they tell you they said they needed at least a day to fix my laptop and they would call when done okay fine then but how about my work you can use my laptop everything is in my laptop now i couldn't do anything about it i see as you can't finish your work now no matter what so i suggest we have a fun day together you're right people always say take life as it comes indeed i'm taking you to my favorite childhood place let's hit the road dora [Music] american museum of natural history this is your favorite place when you were small yep you know the american museum of natural history is a new york icon you won't be counted as being new york until you step into this museum sounds like a hook jess it is let's go inside welcome to the amnh two adult tickets with no other services please the general admission is forty six dollars for two tickets thank you thank you [Music] this is the mammal halls they have examples of mammals of both the old and the new world what a huge collection right yeah next we are in birds reptiles and amphibian halls ooh birds i love them how about reptiles and amphibians the way i see it is that they can live in different habitats so they seem to be the most powerful and interesting species i see but they're also very scary hey look this said the bird collection gives museum goers a brief glimpse at the dwindling bird species being lost in the name of fashion in the past people used to use bird feathers to make hats well i don't like the hat industry these are my favorite halls the fossil halls it now houses the largest collection of fossil mammals and dinosaurs in the world is that a t-rex fossil that's right this dinosaur skeleton is a must see when visiting the amnh it looks so enormous and fierce jess yes it absolutely is oh do you know what actually there is an appealing story behind this t-rex skeleton the fossil was originally arranged so that the dinosaur stood upright museum experts later determined that it was more accurate to show the t-rex in his stalking position stalking position you meant he was following watching or harassing a prey that's true dora just look at him he stands with his head low tail extended and one foot slightly raised i can sense the sneakiness in his position indeed this t-rex is as sneaky and skillful as you when you stalk your ex-boyfriend's social media hey stop it this is the biodiversity and environmental halls i can finally watch the free-floating blue whale right yes it is one of the biggest attractions of new york city however we got to go through the forest halls first before heading to the oceanic hall where they placed the whale welcome everyone to the millstein hall of ocean life this hall focuses on marine biology botany and marine conservation the hall is most famous for its life-sized female blue whale model please enjoy your visit and please feel free to ask any questions thank you excuse me what keeps the whale afloat that's a good question because it is so massive i hadn't even considered it one of our security guards at the museum said it was powerful magnets a popular line of speculation involves either wires or strings so thin that they cannot be easily seen yeah there are thin wires that would be wrong we built a system of steel wires that kept the mammal stuck to the ceiling thanks to that museum visitors can have an authentic deep-sea experience no wonder anyway it's kind of impressive the way that lets it look free-floating oh i get it now [Music] episode 18 dora wants to raise a pet [Music] welcome home dora how was your day it was as usual but you know what saved my day what brightened your day my friend when walking down the street from the knk supermarket i met those little puppies that we played with at the park yesterday that's all what do you mean they are so adorable and they even wiggled their tails and seeing me they are dogs they wiggle their tails all the time jess i'm thinking about adopting a puppy what do you think on the order of local authorities oh no no no way why is it so i thought you had fun with those dogs at the park i did dora but it's a different thing playing with pets such as dogs or cats is taking candies from a baby it's fun jess you should be ashamed of yourself for that action oh come on that's just a metaphor an example wait where was i you were talking about playing with pets yes let me finish this sentence i mean playing with pets is much easier than bringing them home i understand that getting a pet is no easy decision so let's table this make this a debate about the pros and cons of raising a pet if i win we can have a pet all right the first drawback to pets in the home is allergies rejected we're both allergy free to animals aren't we you won next the biggest disadvantage of getting a pet is an increase in responsibility just like a young child pets rely on you for absolutely everything most pets such as dogs cats and birds can be trained that'll be a relief for pet owners don't forget that we have a hectic schedule sometimes we even have to go on business trips a dog will need you to walk him to the park plus our apartment is not so spacious for big pets i get what you mean a small pet like a hamster or mouse might be a better option there you go dora all in all we can have a pet if we can take care of it right yes we can no matter what kind of pet you get i'm sure that we'll experience joy and love thank you jess [Music] hello welcome to the pet's loving home what can i do for you girls we're looking for a pet we'll go for adoption wait a minute jess i thought we've done talking about this at home i don't want to sound like a bad person however as far as i can see raising an adopted pet will demand us a lot of effort and responsibilities we take care tame and train every single pet either normal or adopted in pets loving home so don't worry about it see i told you adopt don't shop by adopting an animal that's been abandoned you are giving a good home to a living thing we also open up shelter space for another animal who might desperately need it right that's very true i'm so proud of you jess so what kind of pet do you want to raise we're quite busy and also new to getting pets so we'd love to adopt some small and easy to raise animals oh i see please follow me i'm going to show you two around in pet's loving home we house several kinds of animals some of the most common pets that people often raise at home are dogs cats birds and small rodents such as hamsters my skinny pigs and so on besides mustard known animals are also some of people's preferences we have iguanas too ugly not very pretty snakes too slithering and scary turtles too slow as slow as a snail how about ferrets a bit too furry rabbits how cute they are but bunnies have lots of babies that's all we have in pat's loving house [Music] wow how about that beautiful parrot oh that's captain kiwi he was brought here way down from a rain forest in new zealand his mother died when he was two months old kiwi was found to have an injured wing so he can't fly anymore that's the saddest story i've ever heard yeah right what a pity for the little bird jess can we adopt him please please please [Music] welcome home captain kiwi you're part of our family now home home look how excited he is i'm so happy we decided to bring kiwi home he will be a new wine for us yes but do you want to give him a different name i think captain kiwi is a pretty name for him he was from new zealand the kiwi land and he also has green feathers like the color of a kiwi captain kiwi is definitely just a name for him sounds reasonable anyways remember to put him in the cage that we bought i gotta give mike a call to tell him about our new pet now yes i remember it now your new parrot will need a cage to call home you'll also want to pick out a small padlock for the door remember that birds are incredibly smart and crafty creatures so if you're not careful your parent may figure out how to escape the cage a padlock will ensure your bird stays inside its cage where it will be safe when you're not home alright kiwi this is your home now my name is dora good night little bird night night [Music] episode 19. captain kiwi goes missing hello everyone welcome back to dora's stories in the previous episode jess and dora's house welcomed a new member to the family it's captain kiwi the parrot that dora persuaded jess to bring home look how cute and innocent he is however there is an old saying that says don't judge a book by its cover watch this episode to know how that saying fits perfectly [Music] hurry up dora mike is downstairs waiting for us already i'm coming i need to feed kiwi some seeds all right chop chop dora you can get in mike's car now i'll be there in five are you sure okay you'd better be quick hi buddy i'm going to a musical concert your food is here your toy is here be nice until i'm home bye kiwi nice nice kiwi there you go captain kiwi [Music] that was the last performance of the jazz concert thank you all for being here today and taking the time to live in jazz to relive those glorious days of the jazz age on behalf of jazz concerts organizers i wish you all a blessed day [Music] the concert was marvelous and bodacious ditto they deserve the biggest standing ovation dora what did you think oh i think this was one of the best jazz concerts of the decade write an article about this for our health and lifestyle news that's brilliant my friend [Music] the beef burger here is the best i prefer the chicken one which burger will you choose if you have a word dora yeah i think they had amazing sauce i will literally eat everything as long as it's served with that sauce agreed you took the words right out of my mouth speaking of chickens how was your parrot doing mike chickens are not birds oh captain kiwi he's doing so fine with his food and toy now is he really fine i thought you shouldn't let him be alone these birds require a modest amount of daily care no mike kiwi can play with

he seemed scared what happened oh i remember now parrots are afraid of balloons perhaps it is the color of the balloon the fact that it is a large flying object may confuse the bird that the balloon is a predator you're so right mike that was exactly what the pet store staff told us you were so sexy when you explained that mike thanks babe do you mind putting all those balloons somewhere else

five day business trip yeah girl i'm so excited i have never participated in an international conference before journalists from 50 countries are going to attend the conference that's awesome you can make a lot of friends there agreed we will have a super diverse learning environment tina is going with me too but we are concerned about stuff that we should prepare before the date yeah sounds stressful you girls need professional outfits speaking of being professional we should dig deep into the conference topic as well what is that the topic is global mental health this topic is so up to date to many extents do you know that about half of mental disorders begin before the age of 14 at the age of 14 i was having panic attacks choosing what clothing item i ought to wear to school every day when i was 14. oh there was this story you probably wanted to hear i'm all ears i remembered there was one time when my middle school was about to have a prom a prom sounds fascinating what went south did something happen to you not to me but the prom was ruined by a girl her name is susan she was pretty chick and famous back in my school time susan is one year older than us she was potentially the queen of the prom that year however her best friend caddy earned the crown instead susan was losing her temper completely at that point she threw paints at people at their prom yelling that she was the queen and no one could take the crown from her oh jesus she was so creepy wasn't she indeed the other students ran like headless chickens with paints all over the place my dress was so expensive so i was lucky when finding a spot to hide susan really got a problem with her mental health didn't she yeah rumors flew that she had to come to meet a therapist for years later it's very common to see therapists if you feel not fine we've been raised our awareness about mental health since our young age now i agree the fact is that there are more and more young people facing mental problems yes the global economy loses about 1 trillion u.s dollars per year in productivity due to a depression and anxiety thank you jess i know what i need to dig deep about for the conference now can you contact me with susan i really want her to hear her story sure my pleasure [Music] dora i will help you pack your stuff today yes where should we start first let's go for the clothes have you

beautiful but dramatic love story come on dora you're in india you can be jasmine princess but who will be your aladdin jess oh jess you're crazy [Music] dora episode 24 dora gets into an accident hello how's life treating you have you caught up with dora's story so far in the previous episode i was in india for the international journalism conference the trip is such an eye-opening experience for me india is an exquisitely fine primitive and religious country there is a saying that goes india is the land of miracles and spirituality you believe it if you don't let my story this time prove you the opposite as far as i remembered it was a beautiful sunny day in the capital of delhi tina and i were in a cab moving to a broadcast studio so you are american and you are chinese yes i'm american and she is i'm a chinese-american have you ever gone back to china your root of origin yes i come back to visit my relatives every once or twice a year that's cool china is a mysterious and sacred land isn't india itself the land of diverse religions too yes our religions and beliefs follow us ever since the day we came to this life do you know what i have been taught since i was a kid my grandma's words have always been my motto in life which steer me in the right decisions please tell us whatever happening to you is what you asked the universe i clearly didn't ask the universe for what occurred to me next i was having a car accident i know it sounds terrible right we were being passed down words of wisdom by mr taxi tina and i were contemplating the advice when another bumped into us with crazily high speed that was all i could remember about the collision the moment after that i was in a hospital with a lot of people sitting around my bed dora do you hear me tina she's up call the doctor jake what are you doing here where am i you're in the hospital the taxi driver you're here too and who is he the doctor is coming tina what happened to me you don't remember we got into a car accident yes that young man bumped into our car i'm so sorry i was too sleepy i shouldn't have driven while feeling sleepy like that if we had an accident why would you three be fine and i ended up lying down here dora you were in a coma for two days we checked your health for injuries but things seemed fine so far nothing is serious just some small scratches however that you were having a coma worried us we called your parents and your flatmate jess too they wanted to be here for you but the doctor said you would wake up soon yes dora we're so glad that you're fine now after that i'm fine really the doctor did a thorough health checkup for me my well-being is completely fine but they still couldn't explain why i was fainting for the entire two days the only acceptable reason was that having that accent made my brain numb and shocked to the point it needed some relaxation it sounded unbelievable and hilarious at the same time right the doctor also said that my memory pieces of the car collision would come back to me soon however before that actually happens tina helped me filled me in on the story she told me everything that i needed to know when our car was hit things were shaking like having an earthquake it took me a while to know what was happening then i heard mr taxi talking to the stranger he was a nice guy actually have i just gone off topic haven't i alright they were talking about something like who would take the responsibility next i turned to you and my heart almost jumped out of the car you were lying there as if you were the sleeping beauty we tried to give you the cpr but you didn't even move so mr taxi called the police and we headed to the hospital you all called the police duh whether an accident is a minor fender bender or a major collision calling the police is important yes why did i even ask you that my brain has not worked normally since the accident i know even if a wreck is minor a police report is essential yep that can help you ensure your vehicle gets repaired by insurance company but seriously that you had a coma then literally waking up without any injuries is a miracle don't you think so a miracle probably anyways i know you like baroon excuse me you know his name of course even though he hid our car i passed out because of him however like you already mentioned baroon is a nice guy who likes who i don't like him don't lie your face is turning red like a peach now all right i admit baroon is so handsome and he's such a gentleman mr taxi said right i always wanted someone like baroon in my life what did he say i thought mr taxi told us about the requests sending to the universe oh no you forgot everything mr taxi gave us two pieces of advice which are whatever happening to you is what you asked the universe for and people show up in your lives because they want to they care about you jake came to you dora he cares about you a lot [Music] dora episode 25 jake and dora in india previously on dora's stories dora got into a car accident in india she was in a coma for two days jake tina and friends were there taking care of dora dora has always seen jake as a good friend a supportive co-worker and a nice guy however for this time she seemed to finally feel something when jake showed up for her has dora decided to open her heart yet has jake's sincerity been enough to win dora's heart follow our young beautiful people to know what is awaiting them in this episode how's your drink is it good yes i love the mint flavor it's so refreshing the cacao is so strong and pungent which is exactly the way i like it what do you have tea yeah cha to be exact oh i forgot we're in india chai is india's most popular drink wanna hear a story of chai this country's best loved beverage absolutely tell me one story goes that chai was developed by accident when a buddhist monk on his way to china in his journey the monk observed the local ritual of chewing on a few wild leaves and tried it himself on feeling rejuvenated he decided to bring it back to india with him so the origin of chai isn't india is it originated in southwest china the british introduced tea production as well as tea consumption to india they did that in order to compete with the chinese monopoly on t that's how britain took over the tea trade from china isn't it yes you're so brilliant thank you on an unrelated note you haven't told me why you are here yet i haven't no you haven't broken the news to me i thought you were in mexico with the boys actually my project only lasted for four days and the host organization planned a one-day retreat for guests like us awesome what was the plan we are going to stay in cancun for a day but you can stay there longer if you want duncan and tim said they would live there forever cancun it's the best place to visit in mexico i heard that it's described as a go-to spot for those seeking an easy beach getaway yeah so true so why weren't you there you were supposed to surf through the most beautiful tides in cancun now how can i say tides wait for none answer me jake when tina said that you were in the hospital i was so worried about you i couldn't have fun when my friend was in a coma i'm just a friend to you yes no i mean of course you're a good friend of mine but i think i have fallen head over heels for you since our first talk i think you're the prettiest girl with the biggest heart that i've ever met dora do you want to be my girlfriend jake i'd love to so that's a yes definitely yes yay i nailed it dora is my girlfriend she's mine now [Music] welcome to one of the most famous monasteries in my country as you already knew this monastery is arranged on one side of the hill yes we had to climb all the way to get to this side of the mountain which really exhausted me i understood let's just take a break before entering the place agreed [Music] the things you'll see inside will be completely worthwhile oh jesus look at the setting and architecture as if we were living in a fairy tale baroon you were right when saying it was worthwhile what a gorgeous sight to be seen let me show you around [Music] baroon who is that old woman oh she's a prophet a fortune teller in india we believe in those who speak for god or by divine inspiration i have never met a prophet before in my entire life people want to know what happens next in their lives so there is a rise of prophets however there are people taking advantage of that trend they lie about their abilities false profits i've read about that yes they trick us for money tell us what we want to hear only we need to be critical it seems like she needs our help see she's coughing maybe she needs some water let's give her some granny are you feeling fine we bring some water for you yes here you go thank you you are so nice i don't have anything to pay you back granny you don't have to i want to give you some nice words do you want to hear guys do you yes

between you and this young man and for you two that the heart always knows what it wants just follow your heart [Music] i'm leaving tomorrow baroon i know we were trying to not talk about it the whole day i'm gonna miss you so much tina i'll miss you more i should have thanked the saints for that day so i could meet you dora and jake how funny is it when thinking that we don't meet people by accident but seriously our fates have crossed thanks to this accident yeah so right [Music] episode 26 broken microwave welcome back to dora's stories previously in the latest episode dora was having
