Title: Korea on Business
by: kei
とにかく出張が多い仕事は昔から憧れていました。
「夢」まで言えるほどだったかもしれない
I always wanted to work at a job where I could travel a lot.
I suppose you could even say that it was my "dream" ...
それで、「夢が叶った」とも言えるほど幸せな生活の中、
夢って憧れ過ぎていいことしか見えない、中途半端な想像に近い・・・
と思ってしまうときは無いとは言えない！
... and now that dream has been realised, in a manner of speaking, in that I travel a lot - however I've also realised that dreams are merely, incomplete, biased constructs in our mind where we only see how good it would be and never once think about what would not be good.
昔は決して口にもしなかった一言だったのに・・・
出張ばかりで、さすがに疲れていますから、
「疲れた〜」って無意識でいってしまう様になっちゃいました。
Not so long ago, I had the energy to keep going and going, but now find myself often complaining about how tired I am; and rightly so, because I do travel quite a lot and it takes a toll on you.
出張で日本中を廻りながら、
四季の流れで変わってゆく日本を観てきた。
Travelling for work, I have been all over Japan and seen more of it in less than two years than most people do living here a lifetime! I have seen Japan in all its glory through all four seasons and it has been great.
出張でラスベガスまで飛んで、
あの有名のべガスストリップの賑やかな夜景を楽しんできた。
Travelling for work, I got to go to Las Vegas, and enjoy the famous lights of the strip.
出張でいっぱいANA・JCBカードを使用し、
毎月１万マイルを貯めるようになった。
Travelling for work, I have become very good at collecting miles one way or another, so much so that I am now collecting 10,000+ miles every month.
そして、
出張で今度は初めて、
ずっと前から気になっていた韓国へ行くことになりました。
Travelling for work, I will now be making a short trip to South Korea, another country I can strike off my list of "countries I want to visit".
ブルゴギー、ビビンバプ、キムチ、チジミ、アニョハッセーヨ
の韓国語の５つの言葉しかしゃべれない僕には、
とにかくお腹が空かなさそうな出張になりそうですね☆
And since my Korean language skills are limited to 5 words: Bulgogi (grilled meat), Bibimbap (Korean rice bowl), Kimchi (Korean pickles), Chijimi (Korean omelette) and Anyohaseyo (Hello), if anything, I feel I will not go hungry during this trip - which is a good thing because I love Korean food :)
・・・
では、韓国へ行ってきます！
See you when I get back!
