2月23日（火）曇り時々雨
砂漠の国・豪州では洗車やゴミバケツを洗う習慣はありません。洗車をしなくてもケアンズでは雨が降れば車はきれいになります。僕のアパート・VUE には一応洗車場はありますが、住人が洗車している姿を見たことがありません。軒下に太陽鳥が巣を作っています。野球場、サッカー場、洗車場、自販機は豪州で見かけないものの代表格。順子が来るので先週久々にコイン洗車場へ行きました。車内も掃除して、マットも洗って$15（1200円）。

Self car wash
Tue. February 23 : cloudy occasionally rainy
In Australia, the desert country there is no custom of washing the cars or rubbish bins. Every car becomes clean without washing after the shower in Cairns. There is the car wash in our apartment, VUE but I have never seen any resident washing his/her car. Sun birds are building their nests under the eaves. Some typical facilities you don’t see in Australia are the baseball stadiums, the soccer stadiums, the car washes and the vending machines. As Junko was coming to Cairns we went to the self car wash last week for the first time in a long time. We also cleaned up inside of the car and mattresses. That came to only $15.

一昔前ほど、週末前の洗車場の
にぎやかさは、なかなか見なくなりました。
不景気のせいで、自宅で洗車している人が
増えたのかな？
