台湾2日目
The second day in Taiwan

 観光者らしく名所をおさえる旅
This is a journey to visit the famous spots just like as a tourist.

朝ごはんはテレビで特集されていたというぼろパン
I chose "BOLOPAN" for breakfast which is highlighted on TV before.

パンを片手に台湾から高雄行の新幹線に乗り込む
I got shinkansen bound for Takao from Taipei with holding some bread.
まずは邪気を払うという龍虎塔へ
First, I visited the tower of dragon and tinger which is the place to get rid of miasma.
そろそろ昼も近づいたので、何か食べるものはないかと屋台らしい屋台を求めてウロウロ
It's almost noon and looked for stalls to get some Taiwan food, but I couldn't find it,

気づいたら駅3つ分歩いて次の名所「美麗島駅」にたどり着く
and I've noticed that I already walked 3 stations and arrived at the next spot, "MIREI station".
きれいなのはさておきお腹が空いた
It has a beautiful steind glass art.

仕方なくコンビニで台湾名物であろう麺
Anyway, I got starving and finnaly chose the convenience store to get this noodle.
電車でさらに南へ移動してイギリス領事官へ
I head to the south to visit the British consulate.

1876年にイギリスの政府が台湾に目をつけて貿易を始めたらしい
The british government found Taiwan as the best place to trade in 1896.
併設カフェでイギリスらしくアフタヌーンティーしながらクリスマス気分♪
There is English cafe in the consulate and had afterneoon tea bu feeling Christmas♪
イギリスはなかなかチャンスがなくて行けていない
I haven't have a chance to visit England yet, someday I will. 

今日の宿の台南まで再び新幹線に乗車
Again I took shinkansent to Tainan where to sleep.

夜ご飯はガイドブックに載ってた「赤崁樓」
At Tainan, I went to "Sekikanro" which is famous as Taiwan noodle.

夜の神農街をぶらぶら
And I took a little walk to "Shennon St."
本日の宿も英国風（私の部屋は英国風ではなかったけど）にBaker Street Design Inn.

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...
