You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
今日はエジプトでお世話になった先輩と食事をしてきた。
I had dinner with a former colleague from my time in Egypt.
お互い、お酒があまり強くないので、今日は趣向を変えて名古屋にある台湾ラーメンで有名なお店の東京支店で集まった。
Since we both prefer food over alcohol, we decided to meet up at the Tokyo branch of a well-known Taiwanese ramen restaurant, offering something different from the usual gatherings.
初めての本場の台湾ラーメンは、想像以上に辛かった。とくに、トウガラシの辛さが際立っており、とてもおいしかった。その後は場所をスタバに変え、これまでの飲み会とは全く異なる趣での食事会となった。
It was my first time trying Taiwanese ramen, and I was pleasantly surprised. The spiciness level, thanks to the generous use of chili peppers, was just to my liking. After the noodle feast, we moved to Starbucks, making this rendezvous quite distinct from typical parties.
なにより、彼との話も大いに盛り上がった。エジプトでの話に始まり、近況報告に至るまで話が尽きることはなかった。
What stood out the most was our vibrant conversation. We delved into catching up and revisiting our work experiences in Egypt, and it seemed like we could talk endlessly.
いつも感じることだが、エジプトで会った人の中で変な人は一人もいない。誰といっしょにいても、とても楽しい。また一緒に仕事がしたい。
Whenever I spend time with my former colleagues from Egypt, I am reminded of how dependable and respectable they all are. It brings me immense joy, and being around them is truly delightful. I’m eager to collaborate with them again in the future.
To be continued.
