サッカー日本代表・主将 長谷部 誠選手(ウォルフスブルク)に成田空港で遭遇
![](https://cdn.inkrich.com/v2dFL7divN/files/share/singapore_ndp2013_75.jpg)
8月9日はシンガポールの建国記念日(National Day)で、
僕は National Day Paradeというイベントを見に行ってきました。
チケットがなかったのですが、最初エスプラネード側へ行ったら
場所がなく、すぐにマリナベイサンズ側に移動しました。
赤い服を着ている人が多くなんだかいつもと違う独特の雰囲気でした。
イベントは軍事パレートと市民祭が一緒になった感じでした。
僕の場所はイベント会場内ではなかったのですが、
何人かの人がスマホでイベントのライブ中継を見ていたので、
後ろから覘いてみてました。リー・クアン・ユーも来てましたよ~
ヘリコプターがシンガポール国旗を運んできたり、
ネイビーの船が走ってきたりしましたが、
なんといっても戦闘機が爆音をとどろかせながら
上空を突っ切って行ったときは大興奮でした。
その瞬間、僕は「シンガポールは街じゃないんだ、
国なんだ。独立した国家なんだ」とハッキリと感じました。
耳をつんざく空砲が何発も何発も鳴りました。
隣の子供がびびって泣いてました(笑)
マリナベイサンズの真ん前を軍隊が掛け声をかけながら
行進してました。
最後はマリナベイを彩る打ち上げ花火です。
ワンダフル!ビューティフル!
本当にすばらしいです。
見に行ってよかったです。激混みだったんで、
汗だくになりましたがよい経験でした。
いつもとはまた違うシンガポールが見られました。

August 9th is Singapore's National Foundation Day. I went to see the National Day Parade. I didn't have its ticket. At first I went to the Esplanade side, although I couldn't find any spot to watch the parade. Therefore, I immediately moved to the Marina-Bay-Sand side. I felt the atmosphere was different than usual as lots of people wore red clothes. The Parade was like a mix of a military parade and a civic festival. As I wasn't in this venue, I was watching the ceremony at someone's smartphone display from his behind. I found Lee Kuan Yew in the display!
Some helicopters brought Singapore's national flag, and the battleships arrived. More than anything, I was really excited when fighter jets were flying over us with a heavy roar and great speeds. At the moment, I clearly realized 'Singapore isn't a city but a nation. It's an independent city-state!'
A blast of a blank shot went one after another. A child next to me got scared and cried when he heard them. Army troops were marching on the street in front Marina-Bay-Sands.
To finish the Parade, there were fireworks which lit up the Marina Bay.Wonderful! Beautiful! It's honestly brilliant!
I was so glad to go there. It was crowded, but a good experience. I saw the different side of Singapore.
