You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
出張2日目。今日もサイトと市役所周り。昨日に引き続き、新しいところを周るためナビを頼りに進むことになるので、1人だと少し大変。
On the second day of my business trip, I visited the candidate sites and nearby city offices. Just like yesterday, I had to rely on my smartphone’s navigation, which made things a bit tough since I was on my own.
途中、道がわからなくなる場面もあったけど、なんどか回りきることができた。
Even though I got lost on the way to one of the destinations, I managed to visit all the candidate sites and city offices.
その後は、ホテルに戻りながら、自然公園での小休憩。330円の入場料だったので、小さな公園かと思っていたら、わたしの予想を大きく覆された。
On my way back to the hotel, I stopped by a nature park to take a break. I assumed it would be a small park since the entrance fee was only 330 yen, but I was totally wrong.
ぐるっと周回コースを急ぎ足で回っても1時間以上かかる規模に驚いた。しかも、園内は誰もおらず、挙句に熊鈴を渡される始末。ちょっと恐怖を感じた。
To my surprise, it took over an hour to walk through the entire park, even at a brisk pace. What’s more, there was no one else in the park, and the staff even gave me a bear bell for safety, which made the whole experience in the forest a bit nerve-wracking.
夕方は、海鮮丼を2つ注文。1日1食を盛大に満喫した。とはいえ、2つはちょっと飽きる。これなら海鮮丼とラーメンを食べてもよかったかなと思う。次回の出張では、ラーメンを食べたい。
After that, I headed to a seafood restaurant and had two seafood bowls. Thanks to my one-meal-a-day routine, I was able to enjoy them, but I realized two bowls were a bit too much. I should’ve gone for one seafood bowl and some ramen. I’ll make sure to get ramen on my next business trip!
To be continued.
