マーです
I am Mark.
朝食を食べにチャイナタウンに来たら、開店祝いをやっていた。
When I came to Chinatown for breakfast, they were having an opening celebration.
開店祝いを眺めていたら、無料で商品(お菓子)を配っているのに気がついた。
I was looking at the opening celebration and noticed they were giving away free products (sweets).
列に並んでちゃっかり貰ってきました。
I stood in line and got it.
朝食はこれを食べます。
I eat these for breakfast.
GOKLと言う無料バスでパビリオンに向かう。
A free bus called GOKL takes me to the pavilion.
途中でピタリと動かなくなり、道路にマシンガンを持った警官がずらり。すごい事になってた。写真撮影したのを見咎められて、警官がバスに乗り込んできて、大声で怒鳴り始めた。超ビビったけど、知らん顔してたら降りて行った。よかった❣️、逮捕されるかと思ったよ。
Halfway through the road, it stopped moving, and the road was lined with policemen with machine guns. It was amazing. When the officer saw that I was taking pictures, he got on the bus and started yelling at me. I was super freaked out, but I didn't do anything and he went out. Thank goodness ❣️. I thought I was going to get arrested.
パビリオンの近くのデパート入口の飾り付け。
Decorations at the entrance to the department store near the pavilion.
店内もすっかりクリスマスモード。さあ帰ろうと思って財布を探すと、無い❗️。何処かで落としたみたい。電車に乗れないので1時間歩いて帰った。
The store is also in full Christmas mode. I was ready to go home and looked for my wallet, but I didn't have it. I must have dropped it somewhere. I couldn't take the train, so I walked for an hour to get home.
財布の中にクレジットカードが入っていた。カード会社に国際電話で、カードの紛失を伝えると、現地警察の紛失届が必要と言われた。歩いて30分の警察署に行きました。
警察署で紛失届を作成してもらいました。いろいろ聞かれたけどちゃんと答えられたのは、フィリピン英語留学の成果だね❗️。
I had a credit card in my wallet. I called the credit card company by internationl call and told them that I had lost my card. They told me that they needs a report of the loss at the local police. I went to the police station, a 30-minute walk away.
I had a report of loss made at the police station. They asked me a lot of questions, but I was able to answer them correctly, which is a result of my English study abroad program in the Philippines ❗️.
16時30分、警察署からの帰りにいつものフードコートで夕食。煮込みスープの屋台。
At 4:30 p.m. I had dinner at the usual food court on the way back from the police station. Stall with stewed soup.
豚肉と豚モツと豆腐とトマトのあっさりスープで、なかなか美味しかった。360円。
It was a light soup of pork, pork Internal organs, tofu, and tomatoes, and was quite tasty. 360yen.
カード無くしたが、予備にもう1枚持ってきていたので、何とかは出来そうです。財布の中の約1万円はパー、それとは別に約1万円持っているので、何とかそれで食い繋ぐ事にします。お酒は高いので禁酒します。最近肝臓の数値が少し悪いので丁度いいかな。
I lost my card, but I had brought another one as a spare, so I think I can make it. I lost about 10,000 yen in my wallet. But I have another 10,000 yen now, so I will make do with that. I will not drink alcohol because it is too expensive. My liver has been a little bad lately, so I think I'll be able to do just fine.
