フランス3日目
The 3rd day in France

 フランクフルトのストライキで足止めをくらった友人にやっと会えた
We finally caught up my friend after finishing the strike of Lufthansa.


でも疲れに疲れていたので、家で休んでもらい別行動
But she was too tired to go out, so she stayed at their house.

フランスに嫁いだ友人と旦那さんと3人で一緒にエステレルへ
The couple and I went to Esterel.
山好きなご夫婦は休みの度に山（岩山）に登りに行く人たちで
Two of them are really like climbing. 

簡単な岩山を指さして、「登ってみようか！」と言い出した
My friend suddenly said that "Let's go and climb that mountain."

ロープを使うような本格的な山ではないけれど
It wasn't an actual mountain climbing because we didin't use a rope.

かなりビビりながら、初岩山登山をしました
I was so scared and also enjoyed my first experience of clibming.

ランチも初めての山の上でフランスパン、チーズ、サラミの贅沢ランチ
To have lunch on the top of the mountain is also the first experoence.
良い記念になりました
It was a really nice experience.

山に向かう道中ではヤマモモやサボテンの実を採っては食べながら
On the way, we picked up some bayberries and fruit of cuctas.
山からの海の景色を楽しみました
And we enjoyed the sight of the ocean from the moutain.
夜は家に戻り4人でムール貝ソテーと手作り寿司
We came back before dark and four of us finally get together and had dinner.
素敵なおもてなしをありがとう
Thank you so much.

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...
