Notes
Tonga 南太平洋，Fiji の東の島群から成る王国
————————-
The Rugby World Cup was held at Sapporo Dome on Sep. 21 and 22. Australia played Fiji, and England played Tonga. A couple of festivals were going on in Odori Park, too. I saw many tourists from overseas in the city. One night, I happened to talk with a woman from England. She is a big fan of rugby, loves beer, has five grandchildren, and is travelling in Japan and China for 6 weeks by herself. We met again the next day for karaoke. She will fly on to Osaka and stay at Koya-san with some Buddhist monks for 3 days. The place doesn’t have alcohol, and that concerned her the most. (by a reader)
