ルワンダ3日目
The 3rd day in Rwanda

今日は終日雨
Today was rainy day.

キガリから4時間かけてムランビ虐殺記念館へ（※外観だけでも写真撮ればよかった）
We took a bus for four hours to go to the Murambi genocide memorial center.


1994年、ルワンダ全土で虐殺が起きたため国内には8つの虐殺記念館がある
In 1994, the genocide was occured through out the county and there are eight genocide museums in Rwanda.

その中でもムランビでは遺体の保存研究が行われているとのことで
One in Murambi has many dead bodies for the research of conservation of the bodies. 

地中深くに埋葬された遺体は酸素と触れ合うことなく
The bodies which were buried in deeper depth couldn't react with oxgen

腐敗しなかったものが掘り起こされて展示されている
and didin't decompose for awhile and digged them up to display.

かなり衝撃的でインパクトの強く
I was very shocked and it has a very strong impact.

じっくりと目も当てられませんでした
I couldn't take a closer look.

覚悟して見れる方はgoogleの画像検索へ（Google Search "Murambi genocide memorial"）
Since I didin't take any pictures, go to Google to see some pictures if you're ready.

虐待の歴史なしにはルワンダは語れないと連れてきてくれて
My friend told me that she cannot talk about Rwand without knowing the genocide in 1994

アフリカの中でもすごく特殊な背景をもつ国とのことでした
and took me to the museum and she added that Rwanda has a characteristic background in Africa.

帰国したら「ホテル・ルワンダ」「ルワンダの涙」を見ようと思う
She recommended to watch the movies about the genocide "Hotel Rwanda" and "Shooting dogs."

夜はここの近くの隊員さんの家にお邪魔することに
Tonight we asked to stay another Japanese friend's house in Huye

夜ご飯は美味しいと評判の牛タン串
and enjoyed beef tongue BBQ.
牛タンって日本で食べる薄いイメージだと思ってたので肉厚で柔らかくておいしかった
 I knew only Japanese beef tongue which is very thin, but here it was very thick and delicious.

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...
