The biggest thing I felt was how strongly people live here. I almost saw everyday real life of people here through bike tour. I have been impressed how strongly they live each single day, and I was pleased that I was born in Japan where people don't face much difficulty to survive.

一番感じた事、それは人の生きる力強さ。毎日のように彼等のリアルな生活を目のあたりにし、関心させられ、何不自由なく生活できる日本に生まれた事に本当に感謝する毎日だった。



Each countries I went through has different situations but in most of place I went through, small town and village, people work very hard to keep stabilize their life.

それぞれの国や住む地域によって状況は違ってはいるが、自分が通ったルート、主に農村部に住む人々は、みな日々の生活を維持する為に本当に良く働く。



All family members have different part of job on their life. There were nobody who don't work; they are helping each other.

家族それぞれが役割を持ち、老若男女役割がない人間などいない。



Also, their hospitality were incredible. Most of them are welcoming strangers like me.

それでいて、旅人を笑顔で迎える彼等のホスピタリティは素晴らしいと思う。



I can't remember how many times I got helped by their smile, especially smile of kids were giving me super power..

何度彼等の笑顔に癒された事か数えきれない。特に、小さな子供達の笑顔は正にドラゴンボールのセンズなみだ。



However, I found a big gap of life level between cities and villages.

一方で、都市部と農村部の生活格差のはどの国も目立っていた。



It appeared strongly in Cambodia and Laos. There were still many places without power, gas and water. People there live in very simple.

特にカンボジア、ラオスの農村部では電気、ガス、井戸もなく、本当に自給自足をしている人達が沢山いる。




In such place, of cause there were no public facilities such as school, so kids can't go to school.

そういう場所にはもちろん公共施設もなく、学校に行けない子供達が沢山いるのを目にして来た。



Even If there are schools, some kids can't go because they need to help their families.

あったとしても、家族を助ける為に学校になど行っていられない現状も事実。



I hope at least kids can get general education and make own decision in their future.

せめて子供には一般的な教育が受けられ、どんな事を将来できるか選べるようになってほしい。



In Cambodia and Laos, I saw many schools that have been built by other countries' funds such as Japan.

ラオスやカンボジアではNPOや各国の支援で沢山の学校が建設されているのを至る所で目にした。



Its very good development of them, but I don't know if there are enough teachers and also education programs for teachers.

これは本当に良い事。ただ、それを補う為の教員、彼等を教育する為のプログラムがあるのかはわからない。



Even if they built enough school, it doesn't make big difference if there are not enough teachers and teachers who just smart and won't be able to teach right things. This is the same to Japan.

いくら学校が増えて、テストをパスできる頭の良い教員が増えても意味がない(これは日本でも同じ事が言えるが)



I probably go visit this area again someday. I hope I can see their big smile again and their countries moved forward.

いずれまた東南アジアの国は訪れたいと思う。その時にまた彼等の生き生きした笑顔と、力強く生きる姿を見たい。
