日本語の記事は⇒シンガポール1日観光

The third country of our travel around the world is Singapore.
We visited Singapore on the way to Australia from Philippines only one day.

One day was enough to see around there.
Because Singapore is a small country.

 It is the first place to visit there.

It is free entry park.
There are many interesting objects.

We did not understand the concept of this place, and not famous but it was amusing.

The picture are frogs.

The picture are frogs.
These were sold in a local market.

The market sold many things on the first floor.
And we could eat Singapore cuisines on the second floor.
We tried some cuisines.
All food tasted good and cheaper than restaurants.

That is why I recommend to go to the local market. 

The picture is plant museum.
It is famous in Singapore.
We can see the strange plant from both under side and upper side.
When we walked this bridge, we could see the town view.

It is the last place.

We saw the statue of a lion at the day time.
But I think that it is better to see the statue in the night time than the day time.
Because the night view was a beautiful around there and you can see the free light show.

We left from Singapore to Australia by airplane in the night.

 

Last month of our Philippines life.

フィリピン留学3ヶ月目。最後の１ヶ月。

これが終わったら世界一周の旅に本格的に出発です。

正直、英語はあまり伸びなかったけど、セブでやりたいことはやりつくしました。

Last month of our Philippines life.
We could do many things that we want to do.
We visited many places.

The picture is the whale shark.
The place name is Osrobu.
We could swim with whale sharks in the sea.
It was an amazing experience.

There are big water falls near Osrobu.

We can go behind of the waterfall there.
It was an amazing experience too.

We visited another island.
There are many small islands in the Phillipines.

That day, we visited Shikiholeishand.
There are traditional magicians there.
They can cure bad body things by their technique that kind of massage.

So we ran around the island by bike to find the traditional magicians.

We stayed the island 2days 1night.
First day, we found a magician and second day, we found another a magician.

We were able to receive two different kinds of black magics for 2 days.

The first way of the black magic is that the magician wrapped our bodies after that,  throw smoke into our wrapping.Then,the magician could find some bad things about our body and massaged it with oil.

The second way of the black magic is that the magician used a stone and water and a straw.
The magician took along our body to find our bad things while breathing out the water that in a stone with straw.

If she finds bad things about our body, The water became cloudy water.

In my case, the water did not become cloudy water.
But Taxi's water became cloudy.

So the magician took the message to Taxi harder than me.

It was one of our mysterious experiences.

We visited cockfight field last weekend.
It is one of the gamble in the Philippines.

We bet either chicken only twice and saw only 5 times.

Because the game was very terrible for us.
We could not be in there a long time.

Chicken put a knife on their feet.
Chickens fight until one died.

When the game finished, there is much blood in the ring.

Chickens also injured even win.The loose chicken will be eaten by winner chicken owners' family.

All of men like gamble like this.

Our short trip in Thailand.

マニラからタイまでの飛行機がマニラに台風が接近した為予定通り飛ばず、、空港泊して飛行機待機することになったけれど、帰りの飛行機も無料で延長してくれたから日程はづれたけど、予定通り5日間のタイ小旅行。(予防接種も行いました。)

2014年7月17日～21日

日本語の記事はこちら⇒タイ5日間小旅行 (①バンコク(予防接種1回目⇒②バンコク(予防接種2回目、カンチャナブリ⇒③アユタヤ⇒④ロブリー⇒⑤バンコク、フィリピンのセブへ))

We used to arrive in Thailand from Manila on 15th July by airplane.

But the plane canceled because typhoon came to Manila on the 15th.

We had to stay airport for 2days and change our schedule.

We could not take a shower for 3days. Because we were staying in the airport for 2days and before that we used the night bus from Banaue to Manila. 

Our short trip in Thailand began with the trouble in this way.

The first day in thailand.

We had a mission in Bangkok.

It is Vaccination to prepare traveling around the world. 

We went to the hospital and checked up our health and took the Vaccination.
It was very smooth.
After that, we enjoyed eating Thai foods.
We have big fun of Thai foods until when we visited in Thailand several years ago.
So we ate many kinds of Thai foods, whole we stayed there.

The second day.
We visited in Kanchanaburi where is a model of the movie named "The Bridge on The River Kwai”

We rented two bicycles and went around there.

We had two happenings.
One happening was that we were chased by dogs. It was scaring for us.
Another happening was that Taxi's bicycle had a flat tire. It was second time while we travel to have a flat tire.
As soon as we could find the place where can replace the flat tire.  

So we could continue to cycle there. It felt very nice!

Third day, we visited in Ayutthaya by train.

We were cycling here too.
And we were chased by dogs too.
The wild dogs live in Thailand is very frightening for us.

The picture is a sleeping Buddha, which forms there.

Fourth day, we visited in Lopburi.
There are many monkeys everywhere.

Someone says that the town are occupied by monkeys.

Sometimes the monkeys attack people like this.

But some monkeys were very old.

Old monkeys were very calm.

Like this.

If you like animals,you can enjoy there.

5th day of the last day, we came back to Bangkok to meet our friend.
Before we meet our friend, we went to a massage shop.

We used to massage in the famous massage shop,but we could not.
Because the shop is too popular.
We had to look for another shop. Because there is nothing we can do.

We went to the appropriate shop.And we were taken massage by young masseurs.

But it felt not good.

When you are looking for a massage shop, be careful.
If there are only young masseurs, it is better to do not go there.
Because, young masseurs have only a little experience.

Finally, we met our friend named "Banban".

He invited us in the traditional Thai restaurant.

We enjoyed eating good foods, and talking together.

We stayed at his room.Next in the morning we came back to Cebu.

 

Our short trip in Manila.

フィリピン留学延長の為にはビザが必要になりました。2か月までだとビザ安いんやけど、3カ月になると高くなるので、みんなだいたい一回日本に帰るか、アジアに短期旅行に出かけてかえってくるのです。

LCCのフィリピンエアラインあるから、アジアにでて戻ってくるのもビザ代払うのも同じぐらいやから。

ってことで、私たちは予防注射うつって用事もあったのでタイに行くことに。

その前にフィリピンの首都マニラにある世界遺産の棚田を見に行くことにしました。

日本語の日記はこのあたり⇒フィリピンのマニラ観光とバナウエイの世界遺産の棚田

We extended studying English.
And we had decided that we were going to go to Manila and Thailand at between the second month of our studying and the third month.
Because of Visa.
I am going to write about when we visited in Manila and that is world heritage.

Before we go to Manila,many people told us that Manila is a very dangerous city.

So we were very careful when we walked on the street.We looked back again and again.

That is why? We had nothing to dangerous.

When you visit in Manila,you should be very careful and you must not go to narrow streets and slums and you must not go out after dark in outside.

After Manila,we went to Banaue by night bus.

We talked the man who met on the bus.

Next morning he told us "I know nice tour and good hostel.So I recommend you"
But we did not honest the man that time.
So we turned down and offer another tour.

But we regretted that things.because we did not know the man is honest or unhonest.

Maybe the man is very good person.

Anyway, we went to  Terraced rice fields.

It is world heritage!!!

What a beautiful rice terraces these are!It was a beautiful view from our hostel.

We went to see the fall too.
On the way was very steep steps.
It was very tired to go there and go back to our hostel.

Next day, we visited another spot of rice terraces.

We used a bike taxi.
The taxi driver went to some places for us.

After sightseeing,we went to back bus station that we said goodbye the man who met on the bus from Manila to here.

We had a time, so we saw around the central city and ate typical food.
Then we suddenly met the man who we met on the bus 2 days ago.

He invited us to his house.

We could drink a grass of rice wine.
The wine we wanted to drink, but the bottle that is sold in a shop was too big to buy it.

We were luky to drink it.

Further more, It was homemade.
It was sweet and very nice. But alcohol was too strong for us.

We had nice to meet you guys!!

We took a photo with his family and send the picture to his daughter E-mail.

Sorry to suspicion to you when we met him.

It was better things to meet him again.

 

The second month of our Philippines life.

フィリピン留学も2か月目。

英語の上達はともかく楽しく過ごしました。やっぱり日本人ばっかじゃ授業以外で英語使わないからダメだな。

2か月じゃ今後旅で必要な英語能力もつかなかったから延長決定。そんな2か月目の日記。

日本語の記事はこっち⇒フィリピンのおいしいもの達

There is a lot of cuisine in the Philippines.Example fruits, dishes, sweets,and so on.
So we tried many foods for 3 months.

First, I will write about fruits.
There are many kinds of sweet fruits.
I think that my best fruit is mango.
In Japan, mango is very expensive!!
We can't eat every day, on the contrary, we can't eat even once a year. We can eat only special day.
But in the Philippines, we could eat every day in the breakfast.
Because, mangos were sold at a low price there.
So I cooked mango ice cake.

I used only three ingredients. Many mangoes, otaps that are traditional pie there and condense milk.
It was very easy to cook.

First, Put on the Mongols in the plastic case.
Next,Put on the condense milk and put on the otaps.
Only repeat it until disappears the ingredients. And freeze it.

It was very dericious but I can cook only in Philiphines.because of price of mangos.

 

This is the kinds of fruit named Mangosteen.
Japanese say it is the king of fruit.
It was the first time to eat this fruit.
So, we expected to eat what delicious is this fruit!!
After we ate, we thought we expected too much.
It was sweet and good!! But I think that I like a mango than the fruit.

My fruit king is mangos.

But I maybe come to be mango allergy. Because after I eat mangos, I come to be itchy.
Maybe we ate mangos too much for 3 months??

We ate many traditional sweets too.
This picture's Mochi is my favorite sweets.
It is inside in peanut cream.
I forgot the name of this sweet.Even I am favorite one..

 

And we ate many cuisines too.
It is one of the famous dishes named "Retyon".
It is made from a pig. Rather than only pig.
It looks little scared.
But it tastes good. The skin was crisp.
The meat was soft.

 

We ate many kinds of food like this.

When you visit to the Philippines, you should try to eat many kinds of cuisines.
Please be afraid to eat in local markets and restaurants.

Maybe you come to bad stomach.

Enjoy at your own risk!!
