ミャンマー最終日タイ4日目
The last day in Myanmar and the 4th day in Thailand.

朝ごはんを食べて8:30にミャンマーのホテルを出発
After the breakfast, I left the hotel at 8:30 saying good-bye to my friend.
またまた早く着きすぎてしまった空港でブログを書き書き
I arrived at the airport too early and was writing this blog to catch up unwritten period.

再びタイ。タイの空港も日本の国際協力で建てられたそうな。
Again, I'm in Thailand. The airport was established by the aid of Japanese government.
実は世界一周券では往復はできないため、LCCの方が安い区間はLCC使ってます
Actually I use also LCC tickets since the round tickets don't allow to go back to the same country.

バンコクは慣れたものでスイスイ歩いて同じゲストハウスに到着
I've got to the guesthouse easily after getting used to walking around from the airport to the hotel.

お昼は日本の友人に勧められたソンブーンでプーパッカンカリー
For lunch, I took Phu Pupcancan curry as a reccomendation of my Japanese friend.
ビル群を歩き、クリスマスの飾りつけを見ては12月になったなーとしみじみ
Walking through between the building I felt that we're in December seeing the Christmas decorations.

夜はタイの友人と14年ぶりの再会
Tonight I saw my Thai friend after 14 years. 
アジアって近いから後回しになっていたんだよねー
I thought that it's very close because we're in Asia and didn't try to come till now.

やっと会いに来れました
It took so long time, but finally I made it.

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...
