休日 Holiday

昨日は土曜日、ソロモンに上陸して初めての休日です
ホテルで朝食をとって部屋でくつろいでいると、電話が鳴りＪＯＣＶが下にきているとのこと
土曜の昼ですべての商店が閉まるので、買い物に行きませんかとのお誘いでした
すぐに支度をしてホテルから近いショッピングセンターへ
ソロモンのバスを初体験しました　トヨタのハイエースの11人分座席のあるもので、運転手のほかに料金徴収係の少年が乗っています
２ドル（28円）の定額料金で便利ですが、満席の場合は通り過ぎてしまいます
ショッピングセンターはかなり大きく、価格も少し高めだが、中国製品のほかにオーストラリアあたりからの輸入品も入手可能です
クラッカーとスライスチーズ、ベビーパウダー、髭剃りなどを買って来ました
夕方からはドミに行ってそこから、全員で中原調整員のお宅に夕食をご馳走になりに行きました
町からはちょっと離れていますが、ガードマンつきのとても素敵な家でした

Yesterday was the saturday and it was the first holiday since we arrived atSolomon.
After taking a breakfast, the room phone rang and some JOCVs had come to the front and they called me to go shopping together.
They taught me that all shops will close at the noon of the Saturday.
We went to the nearest shopping center with bus and it was also the first time for me.
Japanese Toyota Hiace which had 11 passengers sheets stops at the corner of the street and we can get very easy for paying 2 SD but if it is full sheet it passes through.
The shopping center was very big and not so clouded.
We can buy not only Chinese products but also some inport goods from Australia.
I bought some foods and shaving razors.
In the evening we visited to Mr.Nakahara's house who was the volunteer coordinator in JICA local office.
He invited all of us to the dinner and some of JOCVs went there earlier than us and cocked something.
His house with a gard person was very nice and neat.
