浦安で友達の家で夕食しながら、次の日はどこ遊びに行くかをいろいろ調べてた。やっと決定したのは埼玉県日高市にあるサイボクハム。豚のテーマパークです。温泉施設もあり、楽しみにした。
And here we are at Saiboku Ham.
サイボクハムに到着。
Soon to be bacon? You never know.
いずれはベーコンに?わかりませんよ。
To be honest, there really wasn't much to see at Saiboku. It was more like a huge supermarket and butcher. There were other activities you could do like making sausage or bread. And there is the hot spring but it just wasn't the right atmosphere and it was a little on the expensive side so we passed on going there. But as long as we are here, we had to at least eat some meat!
正直に言うとここは遊ぶところではないですね。でっかい豚のスーパーです。肉を買うなら最適かもしりませんが、私たちは買い物に来たわけじゃない。パン作りやソーセージ作りの教室などもあったが、そういうのも多分予約が必要。温泉施設もありますが、入場金もちょっと高め、雰囲気もイマイチ、大きな銭湯って感じでパス。でもせっかく来てるから肉を食べないっと。
My friend's said I looked the part.
なんだか違和感がないって。
Love the name of this little shop - Meatopia.
店の名前が良いですね、ミートピア。
Definitely my favorite part of Saiboku Ham.
やっぱり肉ですね!
I had to try this Sayama-tea Cola. It was quite refreshing.
狭山茶コーラを飲んでみた。結構イケルよ。
I also bought a bottle of Hiroshima Cola as well (yep, in Saitama!).
あと埼玉県なのに広島コーラを買った。
Sign in the bathroom asking you to keep the place clean as if it were your own house.
Yep, that was about it. However, there was a place nearby that I wanted to go to - the Akebono Children's Forest Park. Part of this park was made to look like Moomin Valley. My wife and friends reluctantly humored me as they were not big fans of Moomin. And it appears a lot of my American friends are unfamiliar with one of Finland's biggest export as well. For my American friends, Moomin is not a hippopotamus, they are a family of Moomin trolls created by Tove Jansson.
サイバクハムは大体そういうもんかな。でも車で25くらいに僕が行きたい公園があった。あけぼのの森公園。なぜここが行きたいというのはムーミン谷になってますから。妻と友達はやっぱりムーミン世代じゃないため、あんまり興味なかったが、僕の願いを聞いてくれました。僕は小学生のとき日本で住んでたので当時は良くムーミンを見てました。アメリカであんまり知られてないみたいしね。
The picture above for those of you who are unfamiliar with Moomin.
上記の写真はムーミンが知らない人の為。
Alright, its off to Moomin Valley we go!
さて、次目指すのはムーミン谷だ!
