午後サンタバーバラからロサンゼルスへ
We went to LA from Santa Barbara.
到着後、インフォメーションに向かうも人がいなくて迷う
After we've got LAX, there was nobody at the information.
ホテル巡回してくれるバスが分からず、地下鉄で向かうことにする
I couldn't find the shuttle which goes around hotels and decided to go by subway.
あたりは真っ暗
It's getting dark.
切符の買い方を隣の人に教えてもらったのはいいが、１路線動いていない模様
The guy next to us helped me to buy tickets, but the problem is that one line is out of order.
地下鉄⇒バス⇒地下鉄を提案される
He suggested to tranfer to the bus and to the subway again.
1回目のバスへの乗り換え
The first transit to the bus.
同じように迷いながら進むイタリア人カップルの旅行者を発見
We found the Italian couple who are also wondering where to go.
最後の地下鉄の駅も隣だったので一緒に行動することに
Luckily, they will get off the one before stop with us, we decided to stick together.
2回目の地下鉄への乗り換え
The second transit to the subway.
まさかの同じホームに違う路線が来るという事態に遭遇
We took the different train and repeated twice to go back and forth.
それに気づかず無駄に2往復
It happens because the trains come to the same platform even though they go to different direction.
イタリア人が一緒にいてくれてよかった
We're very happy that the Italian couple are with us.
ホテルに着いたのは20時
We arrives at the hotel at 20:00.
地下鉄もバスもホームレスが乗ってきて心配だったなー
There are some vagabonds on the buses and trains.
ローカル路線は日が落ちたら乗らないほうが良さそう
It's better not to use after the sun set. Stay safe.

ミャンマー2日目 The 2nd day in Myanmar まずは友人が働く職場見学へ First, we visited my friend's office, actually it's clinic. 友人は日本の病院からミャンマー診療所に派遣され、ミャンマーの医療向上に努めている My friend was sent by Japanese hospital to improve the technique in the medical filed in Myanmar. 今日は私のために有給を取ってくれて観光 Just for me, she took day off to take me to the sight seeing. まずは遅めの朝ごはんとしてチャイ、揚げパンと麺 We took Chai tea, bread, and noodle as breakfast. 首都らしい都会の一角を通り過ぎて、スーレーパゴダと呼ばれる仏塔へ Walking down t hrough the developped district with high buildings, we arrived at Sule Pagoda. タイ同様、金色に輝いているけど形が違う The Pagoda is made with gold paintings as same as Thailand, but the shape of the Pagoda is different. その後、日本の国際協力で建てたという船着き場を利用して対岸のダラ地区へ Next, we took a ship to go to the other side of the river which is called "Dala." 中心部とはかなり格差が大きく、 The economic situation in Dala looks lower than the central part in Yangon. 途上国あるあるではあるが、タクシーがしつこく付きまとってくる It often happens in developping co...

ベナン2日目 The 2nd day in Benin 今までのようにどこにでもWifiがあるわけではないので There is no wifi everywhere like developped countries. まずはコトヌーでSIM探し I look for a SIM in Cotonou before leaving. 隊員ドミトリー⇔事務所間にできたMTN（通信会社） There is a new MTN store which they didn't have 5 years ago. 身分証明としてパスポートを提出する I handed in the passport as an ID to employee. コピー機がないので必要な情報を紙に書き写している He started to copy it by hand because they don't have a copy machine. こりゃ1時間コースだなと思っていたら I suspected that it would take more than one hour. なんと15分で手続き終わった！しかも100F！ However, it's done within 15minutes and costs 100F. 道端のおばちゃんからもSIM買えますが、 We can buy SIM cards at the store on the road,  but it costs 1000F, 1000Fするらしいので店舗に行くとよいでしょう so it's better to go to the branch store. そして朗報！あのガタガタ・ぐちゃぐちゃの道がキレイになってる！ And what's new is that the bumpy road became proper completely. 道の状態によっては2～3時間かかっていたところが1.5時間でグランポポに到着 It took only 1.5hours wich is of course faster than befor...
