I was watching chicken fighting. A guy was sitting cross the chicken fighting. I talked to him if there was any temple; I was also looking for a temple to camp.

2ヶ所小さな遺跡を見た後、道端で闘鶏をやっていたので見ていた。鶏が戦っている向こう側に、地元男性がいて、今日の宿(寺)の場所を聞いて




He was absolutely 0 English but seemed he explained to me that I can stay at his home. He was not suspicious looking for me, so I followed him. He lives nearby a small temple and has a family with a little boy and girl. I thought he is okay so decided to stay at his home.

男性は全く英語は話せない。ただ、なにか自分の家に泊まっていいよといいそぶり。怪しい感じの人間ではないので、着いて行く事に。男性は小さな遺跡の１つの近くに住んでいて、小さい子供達がいるようだった。これまでに身についた感覚が大丈夫だと言っていたので、この男性の家に泊めてもらう事に。






His name is Packer, and he is a farmer of rice and has a wife and 5 children.

男性の名前はパーカァーさん。5人の子供達を持つお父さんだ。

This situation reminded me Sumatra; I got invited to stay at local's home many times.

この感じ、スマトラで良くあった。

Seems Japanese are very unusual? for people here because I got several times surrounded by local people when I do things. One time when I was preparing salad, many people came around me and checked what I did. I felt very strange. They are innocent of cause.

この辺りでは日本人はすごい珍しいらしく、何回もローカルの人達に囲まれた。夜にサラダをこしらえている時に、ご近所さん達に囲まれて、ジーと見られていた時は本当変な感じだった。

Anyway, I had a lot of things at the first day of Banteay Chhumar.

そんなこんなで、バンテアイチュマール初日は本当いろいろ沢山あった。

Next day, I will go to the Main Temple and some temples around this area.

翌日はいよいよ本殿とその周りの小さな寺院群見学。

To be continued.
