メキシコ最終日、アメリカ1日目
The last day in Mexico and the 1st day in the United States
朝6:30に家を出て、8:00レオン⇒9:00メキシコシティ
Leaving at 6:30 and I took the flight from Leon to Mexico city.

 メキシコシティでこのブログを書き、15:30メキシコシティ⇒18:45ソルトレークシティー
Spending time by writing this blog and I took the flight from Mexico city to Salt Lake City.


 アナログだけど空港の看板に設置してある受話器をとれば、
It's a kind of old type, but it helps me to call the hotel for free.

 ホテル直通無料電話でシャトルバスを呼べる
And they can give me a shuttle from the airport to the hotel.

 国際電話使えない身にとってはありがたい
It's very useful for me who cannot make an international call.

本日のホテルAirport Inn
Today'd hotel "Airport Inn."



乗り換え滞在なので空港隣接の値段の高いホテルを選択
I stopped at SLC just for transit, so I chose the one which is the closest from the airport.

 7500円と日本のビジネスホテルと同等だけど、貧乏旅にしては高い
It cost 7500 yen which is the similar price with Japan, but still it's expensive for me.

 えっ、、ここアメリカですよね？
Wait, wait, am I in America?

 高いお金払ってるのに部屋でwifiが繋がらない
How come the wifi doesn't work in the room?

 フロントに聞くと「調子が悪いのよねー」
The lady at the desk answered me that something is wrong.

 電波が強い場所があるのではないかとホテル内を散策するも繋がらない
I walked around the hotel to find the signal, but it didn't work.

諦めて寝る
I gave up and fell asleep.

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...
