突然シンガポール

部署の先輩と話していたんです。

「はたくん、12/3って何しに行くの?」
「え?何しにってどこにですか?」
「シンガポール」
「は?誰が?(^^; 」
「はたくんが」
「え???だ、誰と?(^^;;; 」
「一人で」
「えぇぇぇぇぇぇ?????(^^;;;;;;;; 」

この時点で11/26の夜。次の日、正式に上司から依頼があり、本当に行くことに…。出発は12/2の日曜日の朝の便で出国。向こうに夕方着。ホテルで一泊して次の日に仕事してその日の夜中(日本時間午前2時)の便で帰国。朝8時に名古屋へ降り立つ…という超ハードスケジュール。サッカーのワールドカップ観戦ツアー並の勢いを感じる。(笑)

しかしシンガポールなんてどんなところかよく知らない。慌ててググると色んなことが分かりました。

・シンガポールはマレー半島の先っぽのかなり小さい国。
・面積は琵琶湖とほぼ同じ。
・日本との時差は1時間。(日本の方が進んでいる)
・通貨はオーストラリアドル。(だいたい1ドル=80円)
・飛行機で6〜7時間かかる。
・見所はマーライオンとラッフルズホテルとセントーサ島。
・目抜き通りはオーチャード通り。
・マーライオンは3匹いるらしい。
・常夏。今の時期でも30度以上、湿度80%。
・公用語は英語。
・コンセントの形状はイギリスと同じ馬鹿でかいヤツ。
・車の価格が異常に高い。
・シンガポールエアラインのスッチーの制服はなかなか素晴らしい。(笑)

そんで、社内の色んなややこしい申請とか処理を終わらせて落ち着き始めた金曜日。あちらから連絡があって「100人の前で15分程のプレゼンとデモをやってくれ」と。

え?日本語で…じゃないよね?(^^;;;

この後デモ機材とパソコンのセットアップでてんやわんや。英語の心配をしている暇すら無い。(笑)

ま、そんなこんなでなんとか辿り着いたホテルからのシンガポール。高いビルがウジャウジャしてるんですよ。都会。感覚的には東京しか無い国、みたいな感じ。

マーライオン君。世界3大ガッカリの一つ。(笑)

オーチャード通りのクリスマスイルミネーション。

時間がない割にはウロウロして、美味しい物も食べて来ました。
英語でのプレゼンも、流暢な英語は喋れませんでしたが、ちゃんと笑わせて来ました。ふっふっふ、笑いに国境は無い。(笑)

食べた物編はまた後日にね。

とにかく疲れました…。
