台北への旅行 (A trip to Taipei)
(Translation and new words at the end of the post)みなさん、 こんにちは。今、台北で旅行しています。10日間ほどいます。台北に来て、6、7回目ですが、いつも台湾人の人情味 (にんじょうみ)に感動しています。 例えば、ホテルの隣に、ローカルなお店があります。店の人は私を見かけたら、値段を安くしてくださいます。この前、雨の日に、淡水にある商店街に入って、地面が少し濡れていました。そして、はがきを選んだとたんに、10枚ほどのはがきを落としてしまいました。すると、店員さんがこうおっしゃいました「はがきを入れすぎたかな。ごめんなさい。」その瞬間、とても感動してしまい、泣きそうでした。幸いに、はがきはビニール袋に入っていて、あまりぬれませんでした。結局、はがきを3枚買いました。 (Economical rice: 85NTD/ 約SGD $3.40) (ルーローハン/Braised Pork Rice set: 165NTD / 約 SGD $6.60) (松山空港の夜景) (小潘パインアップルタルト /僕のおすすめ) (Tamsui Shopping Street / 淡水の商店街) 旅行中、授業はオンラインで行います。生徒たちは教室まで行かなくてもいいし、家でご飯を食べながら、受講 (じゅこう) できます。 優しい生徒達に理解をいただいて、本当に幸せです。多分、これがTLSの一番いい事だと思います。先生達と生徒達は優しくて、思いやりを持っている人です。 TLSにいる先生達と生徒達、誠にありがとうございます。 TranslationHello. I’m currently traveling in Taipei. I’ll be here for about 10 days. This is…
