外道・海の山師

9月23日(火)快晴

朝の散歩でいつも会う山師のおじさん。早朝のビーチで海水浴客が落とした硬貨を金属探知機で捜しています。豪州の硬貨は5円から200円まで6種類。「毎日の水揚げはどれくらい？」と尋ねると「ハイシーズンで1日1000円前後、魚釣り感覚だよ」とのこと。たまにはデジカメ、携帯、MP3プレーヤー、イヤリングなどの外道（げどう）もあるそうです。機会があったらカンボジアで地雷探しに協力して欲しい。

A charlatan whom I meet every morning during walking is looking for some coins which swimmers have dropped. Australian coins have 6 varieties from ￠5 to ＄20. I asked “How much do you get every day?” He said, ”Around $10 a day during the high season. I feel the same as I feel when fishing.” Sometimes he gets a digital camera, a mobile phone, a MP3 player, an ear ring or other out of purpose games. I want him join to look for the land mines in Cambodia if he had a chance.
