Day20　トレドの遊び方　Toledo

スペイン2日目
The 2nd day in Spain

今日は9時から70km先のトレドに行こうと思っていたのに
Today, I wanted to visit Toledo, which is 70km far from Madrid.

時差ぼけで11時起きでホテルの朝ごはんさえも逃す
I just couldn't get up till 11 o'clock because of the jet lag.

時間的にお昼だけど、朝ごはんはコーヒーと昨日のチュロス
It should be the time for lunch, but I had coffee and the churros from yesterday for breakfast.

コーヒーはちゃんと1人分の小さいサイズが2ユーロ(218円)で売られている！
How nice that they sell a small coffee for 2 euros.

1.5人分の大きいサイズを4ドル(435円)で売るアメリカと違う
It's just different from the United States where sell large for 4 dollars.

あと、1日経ったチュロスは油まみれのスポンジと化し美味しくなかったので、
And more, the churros of left-over isn't way too ugly to eat,so 

チュロスは必ず出来立てを食べましょう
You'd better eat freshly made churros.

30分でトレドに着き、観光客の列に続いて中心地に向かう
After the 30 minutes of train, I got to the Toledo station and went to the downtown.
とにかく坂が多くて道が狭い
The roads are really narrow and many hills everywhere.
トレドもマドリッド同様、歩いて行ける距離に観光名所があるので便利だけど
It's very nice that there are many tourism spots which are close to each other, but

足腰弱い人はバスをオススメします
you should take the city bus if you have some troubles on your knees or back.

お昼はトレド名物だというカルカムサスを食べる
I had "Carcamusas Toledanas" which is traditional food in Toledo with pork and tomato sauce. 
午後もひたすらに街を歩いてエルグレコ美術館へ
In the afternoon, I went to the museun of El Greco
街並みを眺めているだけでとても面白いトレドの街並みでした
Really pretty city Toledo could be my favorite place to visit.

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...
