出発して一ヶ月&停電& El dia de secretaria

4月27日、今日で日本を出発して一ヶ月が経ちました。
来週にはホームステイ&語学学校が終わり
5月7日(月)、いよいよマニサレスに出発します。

早くマニサレスに行ってみたいワクワクする気持ちと
語学が全然ままならないので不安な気持ちが
入り混じっている今日この頃です。

コロンビアで生活して一ヶ月、
日本の生活と違うところはもちろん多いけれど
すごく大きなカルチャーショック、
というものはありそうでありません。
(トイレットペーパーを流さずにゴミ箱に棄てることと
ご飯の時間と量にはなかなか慣れないのですが…)

けれど最近、軽い頭痛が続いています。。。
高山病の一種なのか(ボゴタの標高は2600m)、
寒い日が続いていたので風邪気味なのか
学校で習う文法が難しくなってきたからなのか
スペイン語が生活でうまく使えないストレスなのか、、、。

そんなにひどくはないのですが
たくさん寝て早く元気になりたいと思います。


今日、コロンビアに来て初めて停電がありました。
時間はだいたい1時間半くらい。
不確かな情報なのですが、カリという都市の近くて
ゲリラが爆破をしかけた事が原因なのかもしれないそうです。
(でも今、ネットでニュースを読んでみたら(単語が全然わからなかったけれど)、ゲリラが原因ではないような感じもしました。)

追記:その後の情報で、今回の停電はゲリラが原因ではないことがわかりました。
すみませんでした。

2週間位前にも同じ都市でゲリラが警察署を
爆破したというニュースを聞いたのですが
それ以外、今までの生活でゲリラの存在を感じた事はなく。
でもやっぱりコロンビアはゲリラが活動している国なんだな、
という事を改めて感じた一日でした。

とはいえ、今までの日常生活の中でゲリラによる危険を
身近に感じることは全くありません。
JICAからの連絡や地元の人の話を良く聞いていれば
問題ないと思うので安心してくださいね~。

ところで、
4月26日は「El dia de secretaria」(秘書の日)でした。

「母の日」みたいな感じで、祝日だったりはしないのですが
「いつも私たちの為に働いてくれる秘書さん、ありがとう!」
という事で語学学校でも先生達が秘書の Marisol に
プレゼントを贈ったりケーキを食べたりしてお祝いをしました。

前日に学校の先生からその話を聞いたので
協力隊仲間で折り紙を折ったり
広重の絵葉書に筆ペンを使って一文字漢字で寄せ書きをしたところ
と~っても喜んでもらえました♪

そうそう、カードに何を書いたら良いのか先生に聞いた時、
「秘書さんありがとう」、だから
「Gracias」(ありがとう)を使うのかと思ったら
「お誕生日おめでとう」、
と同じで「秘書の日おめでとう!」という風に言うらしく、
「Feliz」(おめでとう)
を使うのだと言っていました。
日本だったらきっと「ありがとう」って書くんだろうなぁ
と思ったりして文化の違いをちょっとだけ感じました。

さすがに環境が変わりすぎてちょっと疲れたのかもしれませんね。
無理せずに休みたいときは休んで静養してください。

ニュースについて調べてみたらヘラルド紙に載ってました。
http://article.wn.com/view/2007/04/09/Car_bomb_in_Colombian_city_of_Cali_kills_1_injures_34/
カリの南西部の都市で車に乗せられた爆弾が警察署の前で爆発したとのこと。
コロンビア革命軍とでもいうのでしょうか。

よく読んで「君子危うきに近寄らず」ですよ!

停電ニュースもありました。

反乱軍は定期的に電気の供給ラインを妨害しているそうですね。
今回は違うみたいですね。

先ほどは、かおるちゃんの元気な声が聞けてとっても嬉しかったです。もちろんいろいろ大変なことがあると思いますが、かおるちゃんのことだから多分、いつも「望むところよ」とでも言ってぶっ飛ばしていくのだと思います。

でも何と言っても体の健康が一番、無理をしないで体を気をつけてネ。

さっきはみんな賑やかでしたよ。多分、史歩がそのときの様子をブログにのせるでしょうから楽しみにしてください。

じゃ、またね、バイバイ。

Quite a beautiful website. I just finished mine and i was looking for some ideas and your website gave me some. May i ask you whether you developed the website by youself?

Cheers

Frist delivery... TV did not work... returned to seller and a new TV arrived. It works fine. Sound quality is just OK. Picture quality and everything else is good. Although it was annoying to receive a broken TV and had to deal with the return process, happy with the purchase

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

The next time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I mean, I know it was my option to read, but I actually thought youd have something fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you possibly can repair in case you werent too busy searching for attention.

I’d have to give the go-ahead with you one this subject. Which is not something I typically do! I really like reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!

Bom dia companheiros, com certeza ser proprietário um carro é oneroso devido ao altos custos de algumas empresas como as de leasing. Estas nem sempre cumprem ao contrato firmado ou tem escondidas em letras miúdas deveres que não beneficiam ao comprador do automóvel. O Código do Consumidor muitas vezes não protege todas as artimanhas do comprador. Estava lendo umas experiências no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os cuidados para a aquisição sem ter dor de cabeça depois. Desculpem, realmente está difícil fazer boas compras.

Estava lendo umas experiências no http://www.carrousado.org sobre todos os cuidados para a compra sem ter dor de cabeça no final. Desculpem, realmente está difícil fazer bons negócios.

I’m impressed, I need to say. Actually hardly ever do I encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you could have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is excellent; the difficulty is one thing that not enough individuals are speaking intelligently about. I'm very pleased that I stumbled across this in my search for something referring to this.
