Day 801: 2012年10月6日

Istanbul - Turkey (Tree of Life)
82,141km

朝飯はつボイ先生と。昨晩つボイ先生がスーパーで食材を買ってきてくれたのですが、食パンが何故か酸っぱい!? 全体が酸っぱいわけでなく、一部が酸っぱいんです。なんなんだ?　まぁ、これくらいで腹を壊すようじゃ旅人は失格なので黙って食いましたけどね。

I had breakfast with Prof. Tsu-BOI. He bought some breads and peanuts butter last evening, but the breads were some how sour...!!? Only some parts of sliced breads were sour, we did not know why... Well, we are travellers, so we should not be afraid of this kind of things. So we kept eating the sour breads.

で、昼前にグランド・バザールとテオドシウスの城壁を見に行こうという計画だったのですが、Tree of Lifeに情報収集に来たギャルたちと歓談しているうちに、気付けば2時前。おっと、これはヤバイ、ということで早速街へ。

We planned to visit Grand Bazaar and the Wall of Theodocius, but just before we were going out, there were 3 girls visiting our hostel and we ended up chatting with them for a while. It was just before 2pm whenwe finally went out.


先ずは腹ごしらえと、ちょっと庶民的な店（ロカンタ）を見つけて、昼飯。ケバブ以外にもトルコ料理は美味しい。唐辛子の酢漬けを一気に4つ食べて悶絶するつボイ先生。

We were hungry, so we went to look for some cheap eat. We found a local eatery and it was cheap and good. There are more than Kebabs in Turkey! The photo below: Mr. Tsu-BOI had pickled chilis - 4 of them at once - and suffering...


街中で、タバコが当たるゲームを0.50リラで楽しむつボイ先生。先生は喫煙しないんですけどねぇ。

He found a machine - one play for 50 TRY cents to win a packet of cigarettes, and played two games. Well, he is not a smoker.


その後グランド・バザールに。さて、中東のバザールとは如何に!?

Then we went to Grand Bazaar! How was it like!?


うーん、中東のアクセサリーとか陶磁器とかランプとか、カーペットとか骨董品とか。見て周るのには楽しい。

There were many middle eastern designed accessories, ceramics, lamps, carpets etc everywhere. It was fun to walk through the market.


が、しかし、我々旅人が買える物は、意外に少ない。

But there weren't much things that we could buy (we cannot carry much things with us...)


店によっては写真撮影は禁止なんですけど、骨董品屋でパテック・フィリップの腕時計を発見。

Some shops prohibitted people taking photo of their show cases. So I could not take a photo, but I found what I want to buy at an antique shop. It is a Patek Phillipe wrist watch.

うーん、買いたいねぇ。

I was tempted to ask the price but I didn't. If I knew the price, I woud really want to buy it.

他の骨董屋を見て周りながら、つボイ先生と「掘り出し物を買う人は、あれはその価値を知らない売り手をだましてることにならないのか?」という話をしていたら、後ろから声を掛けられました。

We were looking around other antique shops and talking. We were discussing "If a person is looking for a bargain in this kind of places, s/he might be cheating as s/he knows the value of the good is higher than the price sold and s/he is benefiting out of ignorance of the seller." Then someone called me from behind.

なんと、それはアルゼンチンのブエノスアイレスで出会ったサトコちゃん!!

It was Satoko! I met her @ Ueno Sansou Buenos AIres, Argentina!


トルコにいることは知っていたのですが、ここで再会出来るとは、奇遇ですなぁ。

I knew she was in Turkey, but I did not expect see her here! Wow!

彼女は小物を鬼のように買出し中とのことで、明日再会しようということで、そのまま買い物に戻りました！

She was in the middle of shopping - seriously shopping - so we made an appointment for tomorrow and she returned to shopping.

それからテオドシウスの城壁へ向かおうとしたのですが、つボイ先生もワシも眠くなってしまって、宿に戻って昼寝。

Prof. Tsu-BOI and I were intended to go to the wall, but we both b\got really sleepy. So we went back to the hostel.

そして夕飯はもちろんシェア飯!!　

Then as usual, we had "share dinner"!!


今日はパスタで冷やし中華（パスタを茹でるときに重曹を塩の代わりに入れると美味くいくそうです）、バンバンジー、そしてモヤシ野菜炒めの豪華ディナーがなんと3リラ（150円以下）で。キョウさん、今日もご馳走様でした!!!

Kyo is the excellent chef! With just 3 TRY, he made pasta, steamed chicken breast with special sauce and stir fried vegies!! Muchas gracias, Kyo!!!
