Yangon出張～生活
Meeting with local and int'l social incubators, seed investors for green development.
People in Myanmar are incredibly social, kind , humble and active. Also very SAFE!
Since
late January, I am still in Yangon, Myanmar. Considering the worsening
situation in Japan, I've decided to stay here. Myanmar is also taking a
serious measure like shutting down factories, restriction of movement,
closure of restaurants, work from home, etc.
According
to Johns Hopkins Corona Resource Center, infected # of the people has
been reported 180, of which 6 lost their lives. I myself mostly stay at
home and go to the office once a week.

When
I went shopping yesterday, I found a mask on the top of the eggs! What a
surprise it is! Very kind considerations.... Photo next to the mask is

a season in Myanmar!

によればミャンマーはコロナ感染確認者数１８０人、死者６人とのこと。各国に比べると非常に少ない状況ですが、日本や他国と同様にlockdownに近い自粛状況が続いています。外出の自粛、レストランもtake-outのみの営業がほとんどです。こんな状況下ですが、買い物に行って卵を買って開けてみたら、マスクが入ってました。ミャンマーも捨てたもんじゃないなと感嘆させられました。
今は目下、マンゴーのシーズンで、３つで１３０円程度。糖度も１９と冷やして食べると最高！
All
of sudden, a moment has come to me today. I was told since the
beginning of my stay in Myanmar, it is Myanmar's custom to eat fried
crickets. When I entered in a lunch room, I noticed something fried
objects. I was thrilled to try out today as my colleagues kindly brought
it on the table. It remained its original form as you see. People in
Myanmar enjoy eating as a snack matched with a soft drink! My first bite
and I chewed it well...try to taste its flavor. Apparently, a little
spicy, and this thing is gender-free, favorable for both females and
men. In fact, my colleagues enjoyed it but some tried to take apart
their legs from the body because of more oily content
.
Interesting moment to see them biting and taking apart. Finally, I
passed Myanmar 101 course today. In terms of taste-wise, I don't really
know!

know!ミャンマーではコオロギのフライをスナック菓子がわりに食べる習慣があるのですが、本日、ついにトライしてみました。まずは２匹、摂食。香料と一緒に揚げてあって、スパイシーな感じでしたが、意外といけました。同僚の女子はコオロギの足を削ぎ取って食べてました。油分が多いからだそうです；確かにスナック感覚だったことは言えますが、どんな味だったかはもう覚えていません。これにて、ミャンマーの文化（初級編卒業）に少し溶け込んだ気がします！

2021年のお正月はミャンマーで。お節代わりのお祝い
On
the early morning of Feb.1, I got a call from my firm, saying that the
military coup seized the NLD and took over the administration. In just
one month, things get worse, and the coup's unjustified action has led
to the loss of many unarmed civilians, who were protesting... All of
sudden, a peaceful country becomes a conflicted zone. But I have
witnessed a hope that Myanmar's civilians sacrifice their lives to fight
against the coup and support their action which all of my heart goes
out to. Luckily, I returned to Japan via Singapore today.
2月1日の早朝、軍事クーデターが発生し、軍がNLDの政権掌握したという電話を受けました。
わずか1か月で事態は悪化、クーデターの不当な行動により、抗議していた多くの非武装市民の命が失われました...ある日突然、平和な国が紛争地帯に。
ミャンマーの市民は命を犠牲にし、クーデターに対して戦う姿勢に希望をみました。本日、シンガポール経由で日本に帰国。
