香港は死んだ
香港に初めて行ったのは２００４年のことで、それ以来、すっかり気に入って、ここのブログでも何度もエントリを書いたり、フォートラベルの旅行記も書いたりするなど、リピーターになってしまっていました。 香港高跳日記～梅窩から中環・100万ドルの夜景、黄大仙、尖沙咀～（フォートラベル）https://4travel.jp/travelogue/11698300 香港〜前年のリベンジで香港大仏、先達広場、新界、そして香港バタフライ〜（フォートラベル）https://4travel.jp/travelogue/11698312 また香港行ってきました（フォートラベル）https://4travel.jp/travelogue/11698329 香港からマカオに足をのばす（フォートラベル）https://4travel.jp/travelogue/11698351https://4travel.jp/travelogue/11698352 チョンキンマンションに泊まる蒸し風呂の夏の香港・深圳３泊４日の旅（フォートラベル）https://4travel.jp/travelogue/11698357https://4travel.jp/travelogue/11718114 香港 ～銀座をブラブラ、大仏・大澳・太平山をめぐる旅～（フォートラベル）https://4travel.jp/travelogue/11718398 元気をもらいに香港弾丸旅行～Ａｐｐｌｅ Ｗａｔｃｈもゲット～（フォートラベル）https://4travel.jp/travelogue/11698375 香港の魅力というと、西洋菜南街の活気、旺角の先達廣場でのノキアのスマホ物色、ローストダックや亀ゼリー、ＨＳＢＣの銀行口座、いろいろありますが、やはり、ちょっとゆるくて自由な雰囲気が一番だったと思います。気分が沈んだ時に元気をもらえるというか。 ということでかれこれもう８回訪港しています。

Hong Kong is dead
Visiting Hong Kong was one of my favorites since I made the first trip there in 2004. I did it eight times until now. I loved to stroll on Sai Yeung Choi Street South where people were very cheerful and energetic, to enjoy wonton noodles, steamed duck, and gwilinggao at restaurants, to get Nokia’s brand new and second-hand smartphones and accessories at mobile phone shops of the Sincere Podium building in Mong Kok, and to open and use a bank account of HSBC Hong Kong. I saw the Big Buddha at Ngong Ping, visited a prison museum at Stanley, stayed at a hotel of Chungking Mansions, worshipped at Che Kung […]

アフターコロナでどう変わる？
コロナが世界中に広まっていますね。ジョンズ・ホプキンス大学によると４月29日時点で３百10万人以上が感染して、20万人以上が亡くなっているそうです。ここ東京も例外ではありません。 そのせいで、世界中の人々が行動変容を迫られ、何ヶ月も外出禁止になったり、医療関係者、消防士、警察官、スーパーの店員、清掃作業員、配達人、公共交通機関に従事する人などのエッセンシャルワーカーは感染の恐怖に直面しながら外で働いているわけです。

Changes of the world from COVID-19
COVID-19 is dreadfully spreading throughout the world, hospitalizing more than 3,100,000 people and taking the lives of more than 200,000 patients as of April 29, according to Johns Hopkins University. It is no exceptions here in Tokyo. The virus is forcing all people in the world to change their lifestyles. Many have been grounded for months. Essential workers, such as doctors, healthcare workers, firefighters, law enforcement officers, supermarket clerks, garbage collectors, delivery servicepersons, and staff involved in public transportation, work outside facing the fear of infection. I’ve been staying at my house in Tokyo for almost two months. Although the confirmed cases and the death toll in Japan are lower […]

第三次世界大戦の序章
令和二年は悪夢で始まったようです。正確に言うと年のはじめには、２ヶ月後にこうなってるなどと誰も予測し得なかったのです。言うまでもなく、いま世界全体が戦っているもの、つまりコロナウイルスの話です。

Prelude to WWIII
The second year of the Reiwa period began with a nightmare. More precisely, at the beginning of the year, nobody could predict what would be going on just two months later. I am talking about what the entire world is fighting against—COVID-19. The coronavirus outbreak has been an urgent global issue. It was just the case of people in a limited area of a particular country, or poor, rich travelers within a trapped gorgeous cruise ship in February. Only a few weeks later, however, it became the case relevant in most parts of the world. Now the situation is changing day by day. For days, thousands of people around the […]

Visiting United States military bases in Japan
Visiting US military bases is fun for me. The US Army, US Navy, US Air Force and US Marine Corps use 75 facilities within Japan and Okinawa, 51 of which are dedicated and the rest 24 shared with Japan Self Defense Force. Though those facilities are usually closed to civilians, they are open to residents around them once or twice a year, and you can get inside the military places during these festivals. Visiting those facilities is one of the few occasions to get in touch with the United States. You can eat American-made hamburgers, hot dogs, steaks, turkey legs, and other American foods. You can pay foods, sodas, beer, […]

香港へ
先日、香港へ行ってきました。郵便貯金の定額貯金が満期を迎えたので、一部をハンドキャリーして13年前に開設したＨＳＢＣの口座に入金するのと、現地で金製品を買うためです（日本で買うより安いのです）。この先日本がどうなるかわからない中、国際的に資産を分散しておくのが理にかなっているかと。 旅行記をフォートラベルに転載しました。 https://4travel.jp/travelogue/11718398

Visiting Hong Kong
A few weeks ago I visited Hong Kong to deposit part of my fixed amount savings, deposited in Japan’s post office and matured last month, in HSBC Hong Kong where I’ve had my bank account for 13 years, and to buy some gold which was a bit inexpensive than what you buy in Japan. Since nobody can predict what will happen to Japan and its economy in the future, I think it is reasonable to diversify assets both nationally and internationally to reduce risks of the loss due to possible economic confusion. I found out two notable things through this trip. One is that Kagoshima is in fact one of the […]
