It's my life in Japan ! ⇒ in Thailand now!

I'll try to write down " what I think " , " what I feel" and " what I did " on my days in  both English and Jpanese! 日々私の思うこと、感じたこと、したことを、英語と日本語の両方で綴ってみます!

Japanese supermarket - フジスーパー

It is very hot in Thailand.
It is New Years Eve today.
I don’t feel that today is New Years Eve at all…..because when I lived in Japan ,I could feel that New Year was coming after Christmas because everything was about New Years …..TV programs….shops…music…decorations….
It doesn’t seem it’s a big day here.

We went to Japanese supermarket by bicycle today.
There were many expensive cars at the parking area....I realised that rich Japanese people come here...
We parked our bicycles next to them and went inside.

I usually refuse to go to Japanese area and eat Japanese food when I am in foreign country.
I thought that it was pointless.
But not now.
It was bright inside ,clean and neat,…I could see so many things I have seen!
Japanese food…Japanese seasoning…snacks…and vegetables!

It was funny and shame to feel that everything here is fresh because it was Japanese supermarket….

Of course everything was more expensive than Thai supermarket...
We just bought enough food for tonight there.

I had mixed feeling.

タイは暑い・・。今日は大みそか・・・。実感なし。
だって寒くないし、TVつけても年末番組はやってないし、街に出てもお正月の雰囲気ゼロですから。

私が住んでいる最寄り駅がトンロー(Thong Lo)のお隣の駅には、とっても沢山の日本人が住んでいるんだよと彼から聞き、旅行者のようにガイドブックを読んでみると「フジスーパー」という日本人向け?のスーパーの場所を地図で発見。

彼と二人で自転車でそこまで行くと、駐車場には高級車がいっぱい停まってました。
タイにいる日本人って噂通りお金持ちなのねーと思いつつ、高級車の横にそっと私達の自転車を停めてスーパー探索。ここだけやっぱり何だかお正月なデコレーション。

昨日行ってみたタイのスーパーは、経費削減尚なのか電気がとっても暗くて、一体どうやって使えばいいのかわからない野菜がならんでいたけれど、フジスーパーには、見覚えのある調味料やら食材が並んでいて、なぜか勝手にすべてが新鮮だと信用できる感じがするのは私だけ?

でもやっぱり割高なんですよねー。
結局、うどんとお餅を買って帰り、年越しうどんを食べました。
