コロンビア流、「お飾り」発見☆
私は父方の祖母の実家がその昔、だるま職人だった関係から
地元で行われる「だるま市」に、その実家のご近所にある
だるま屋さんのお手伝い(?)に行ったりしていた事がありました。
(実家のある町では、毎年クリスマスイヴにその市が開かれるので、その日は和洋を感じられる独特な日でした)
そのだるま市には、だるま以外にも門松や神棚に飾るお飾りなども売られていて、
売る人と買う人の活気あるやり取りや、だるまを買ったときに「よ~、チャチャチャ、チャチャチャ、チャチャチャッチャぴかぴか(新しい)」と火打ち石で命を吹き込む、その雰囲気が大好きでした。
そんなわけで、コロンビアの場合はキリスト教徒の多い国だし、
クリスマスがメインだろうからお正月のお飾りなんて無いよね~、
あったら面白いな~、と思っていたのですが、あったんです!

「espiga (直訳すると”穂”)」と呼ばれるもので、大晦日にセントロ(市の中心街)で
おじさんが麦の穂のようなものに飾りをつけながら、何か売り文句を言いながら
売っていたんです。
気になって思わず近寄ってみると、新年に台所に飾るお飾りらしい。
値段を聞いてみると、可愛い飾りのついた物は1本3,000ペソ
もう少し簡素な物は1本2,000ペソ、穂だけだったら1本1,000ペソとの事。
(1円約20ペソ前後)
どうせなら可愛い飾りがついたのが良いけど、3,000ペソは高いな~と思って
値切り交渉開始。「3本買いたいんだけれど、、、」というと
「じゃあ、5,000ペソで良いよ。」と。
あれ、おじさん、2本買うより安いんだけれど、良いのかな?
なんて思いつつありがたくその値段で買わせていただきました。
その飾りには、コロンビアで良く食べる
お米、レンズ豆、フリホーレス(小豆を大きくしたような赤色のお豆)
が着いていて、台所に飾るとその年は食べ物に困らない、
という言い伝えがあるそうです。

3種の飾り。お米、お豆とも本物です。
リボンの色がクリスマスカラーなのがちょっと面白い。
ホームステイ先や大晦日に遊びに行ったお家の人にプレゼントしたら
とっても喜んでくれました☆

これは出発前に両親がそのだるま市で買って、プレゼントしてくれた小さなだるま。
可愛い笑顔に見ていると思わずほほえんでしまいます。
そして落ち込んだときには励まされています♪

I completely love Justin Bieber. He is so wonderful. He is definitely among the best stars of all time and he's extremely cute too. What do you think is going down with him and KimK? Are they just buddies or is it something more? He's way younger than her!

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
