アマゾンの河口、ベレンに滞在して1週間。先週は世界最大の中州(九州くらいの大きさ)マラジョ島へ行ってきた。島にはすごい自然が残っていて、静かでとても良いところだった。それと、ぼくにとってブラジルで唯一、強盗の心配をまったくせずにあちこち歩ける場所だった。世界中どこでも、島には島独特の時間が流れていると思った。

Tenho ficado em Belém uma semana. Fui ao Marajó na semana passada. A ilha é tão bonito e tranquilo, com natureza maravilhosa. E único lugar no Brasil para mim onde eu tenho nada de medo de roubo. Eu acho que,ilha tem o seu tempo próprio em todos os lugares do mundo.

I have been staying in Belém for one week. I went to Marajó which is the world’s biggest river island located in the mouth of Amazon river last week. The island is so beautiful and calm with great nature. And It was only place in Brazil for me where I have no afraid of robbery at all. I felt, island has its own time everywhere in the world.
