みんじゃ

氷点下の世界に暮らすことは綺麗事ばかりではない。

不意に心配を煽ったり、耐えることを強いらせたり。

その日の気分も予定も、真っ白にしてしまう。

雪国で生まれ育つ人は、いつからか、

やり場のない不満を口にせず、黙々と作業を続けることを選んだ。

何も言わないんじゃない、少なからず何かを想っている。

どうしようもない天候に、怒りを思う時だってある。

年配の方が屋根に上がる光景だって、ちっとも微笑ましくなんかない。

それでも、変わらず、彼らは行動で示すから、

見上げる僕たちは、この遣り方で、この土地に生きるのだ。

Ice under the eaves

The way of a snowy country.

Since the ice made under the eaves is made from the complicated course of water, type and its color are awkward.
A compliment cannot be made "It is beautiful", either.

It is not beautiful to live in the world below the freezing point.
It forces that it makes me uneasy and bears me.
The feeling of the day and a schedule will be made pure white.

Those who it is born and grow up in a snowy country did not complain, but chose to continue work.
They do not necessarily say nothing.
They consider something not a little.
On the weather which can be done what, they may consider anger.
There is even no spectacle which elderly one goes up to a roof somehow agreeably at all.

It does not change but they still continue showing by action.
Therefore, I live in this land by this way.

それが本当に何も生み出さないのか、

生み出すとすれば何なのか。

From the roof of a factory

Remember with bearing.

Last winter that experienced historical heavy snow.
This time, we move previously.
It tidies up in the snow concerning the roof of a factory immediately.

The person of a snowy country accepts barren busyness and irrational nature.
As for us, this time and nothing can produce goods.

Does it really produce nothing?
Supposing it produces, what is it?

The aluminum shovel and yellow snow dumping on which only the number of the persons of snow removal from the rooftop was put.
Snow removal from the rooftop of employee full force had become the work to which it got used from the experience last year.

The weather that it is likely to become heavy snow continues following last year. Although everybody regards snow coverage as anxious, I will think that a scene is beautiful, if a blue sky can see at an interval of clear weather. 

１２月１０日（土）

Sat., December 10 
Linjiangjie Night Market - Yongkang Street - Xinvi District - Zhongxiao Fuxing Station - Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei

Sun., December 11 
Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei - Chiang Kai-Shek Interanational Airport - Haneda Airport - Akita Airport

In order to have a meal by a night market, you have to pass through the process in which take a seat forcibly halfway and it speaks to the direction currently cooked directly. They are what is called many stall systems to Southeast Asia. 

Cooking is performed with the familiar hand. It is cooking by every stall carrying out a glove. The consideration to health is known. Probably, a stall is the culture which ripened daily. 

This dish seemed to be elastic soft okonomiyaki. The brown sauce applied upwards was sweet-sour like Aurora sauce. I got to know the delicacy of the Taiwan stall. 

The person of Taiwan is frank and also embraces a photograph pleasantly. And the appearance is better than anything. The night market which a foreigner can also use willfully. Probably, there are generous national traits at the basis of the prosperity. 

After the stall of food finishes, clothes and Sumi's stall appear. Young and old of both sexes are doing their different shopping there. The market which has complete set of food, clothing and shelter which originated in the life. It will be the maximum charm of a night market. 

最終日の夜は後先考えず街へ繰り出すことにした。目的地は既に決まっている。落ち着いた店舗が連ねると評判の永康街と、まさに開発の進む信義区だ。まま、タクシーを走らせる。

It decided for the back point not to think but to let out to a town on the night of the final day. The destination was already decided. They are the Yongkang Street that there are many calm stores, and Xinyi District where development progresses. We took the taxi. 

I thought that Yongkang Street resembled Shimokitazawa supposing the circumference of Zhongxiao Fuxing Station resembles Marunouchi. The area formed of a prejudice and a peculiar sense of values. There are an individual store and person. 

On the other hand, Xinyi District resembles Roppongi. The store which offers alcohol establishes a store in the roof of Brando's building, and people who enjoy night and a time appear there. The production of the interior exterior was also beautiful. 

Suddenly, there were those who jump into the pool of the roof. It seemed to be a bubble era of once Japan. This is a scene of a temporary dream and I think of them to irony. 

The dining bar of the roof was made several months ago. From the place by the window or the outside seat, TAIPEI101 was visible at hand. This store was delighting the visitor, such as cooperating with a lower club. 

Time will be soon at 0:00. There was a sequence of the visitor of a fashion lover who tries to go into a club outside. I thought that the scene of the old center of Tokyo was resembled here. 

Since we studied "the vigor of development" of Xinyi District, we moved to the Zhongxiao Fuxing Station circumference. There was a wine bar which changed to late-night operation there. It will become an underground atmosphere if a floor changes at time. In fact, I am most pleased with the atmosphere here. 

The country of Taiwan is the area like Kyushu. This country can know much culture by short migration length. Those who have a meal at the stall of a night market go into the store of a luxury brand, and are enjoying their different social place.  If it is in Taipei of a capital all day long, you will understand it easily. Moreover, you can enjoy a trip fully, without being conscious of excessive poverty. And you can see the culture of a newly emerging country compactly and safely. In the business side, it has become the center of attention that this is an important point of circulation. Taiwan is a place which considers the Chinese market and at which a price leader calls. Culture is mixed and a hybrid person is produced here. 

In this trip, TAIPEI101 building was impressive. On the other hand, I looked at the report of Tokyo Sky Tree after the homecoming. A thing required also at a revitalized place or the place which hangs low is the same. An unstable person's heart requires a symbol. I thought that this tower of the second height in the world was a symbol of the country which grows in Taipei now. 

On the morning of the schedule based on inspections, it was a watery sky. Compared with other days, I settled down partly, and felt that it tackled. 

Talk of a buyer, Mr. Nishikawa, of a leading upscale department store was a talk of indication by a sharp viewpoint, and the trend in the world, and was interesting. I am convinced also in the marketing skill which has managed advertising appointment of first-class talent in the season. 

Finishing two or more marketing in a schedule, I went to most interested development area and Xinyi District. It is pleasant to carry out a course setup by oneself. 

I use MRT (monorail) for one hand for a guidebook. Joy which learns the method of the life by itself. If it is a foreign country, much more it, 

Xinyi District was rows of houses as I assumed. The building with the store of a brand, the building in the middle of development, and various events are performed. It is just going to be developed now. 

The mechanism which makes pleasant the accessway which appears in the air. The gimmick made since it is large-scale development. I was excited for the scene while here one moves. 

I also regard this as a view peculiar to the present newly emerging country. It appears from a development area and looks up at a city area region. As uneasy as the quantity of those inclining or a car, and old and new expectation. 

The moment can be felt. 

The photograph which cut off people who do waiting for a signal was beautiful. People who pointed to various umbrellas are trying to pass Xinyi District of a holiday how.

Although Tokyo is also so, a hive land is a short distance and thinks that there are not many cities which are scattered in large numbers. There were many people who will be because Christmas is near or use freely. 

The symbol of Xinyi District and the ascent mouth of TAIPEI101 are serious confusion. So that I have not seen the confusion beyond this. It is a natural thing that expectation goes to a symbol. A pure thing. 

Differing from other newly emerging countries is that there was a place where brand advertising and a prominent character are compatible. It may be the answer which came out when a country, population, and a development area were considered. One example where it is natural to the person of this country also in a spectacle new for a foreigner. 

There is a proverb that you cannot see the wood for the trees. Unless it sees woods, a tree cannot see me. Going to see woods is going hunting and it is tackling bold with courage. That is, unless it moves by its feeling, it does not understand. When studying foreign culture, I should begin to employ the merit of a group efficiently and, on the other hand, think it required to learn by myself. 

Various market research in a schedule was finished and it went in Taiwan to the famous night market. Taipei of night will be experienced from here. (A next report is used for details)
