Shining under the sea

   Maki she is a best friend in Broome.  We visit to the town centre first.
We thought this town is a beautiful little gem.   It`s like a resort island.

But here is a authentic touristic place.  Still many souvenir shop here.
And  Guess what!?    This town has a storong connection with Japan.
But It`s a sad history though...

We visit to the Japanese cemetary.   A lot  of Japanese divers sleep here who
were picking pearls from in a deep sea.
Many divers were working in North & West Australia somewhere in 1870.



They have good quality of technique.   So they` ve got heaps of work order.
And In 1880, After the Broome became a capital of pearl,  They moved to Broome
then.


Working busy, diving deeper & often which mean getting increase the risk of
Caisson disease too.

-----When people working at the high pressure place ( It`s like a bottom of the sea.)
for a while,  Nitrogen blend into the blood.
After that if you go back to the normal condition suddenly, the Nitrogen become
bubble and block the blood vessels.


On the stone monument,  I saw strong Japanese words.  Those are their name &
their hometown.
I looked still their spirit dwelling there.

I guess that they spent brilliant days here.
But such a tarented  young divers finally couldn`t come back from the deep sea.

*** There is a pearl festival in Broome every year.

B.P. Matter

       Nice & Warm shower, Soft & comfy bed at the hotel makes you a part of nice
 memorial of your travel ... normally.
But BackPackers is an accommodation which absolutely difference with that.

There are domitory room. It`s 3~8 people share in a room.   It`ll be together with
stranger. So some people may say no to stay in B.P.

Especially, this B.P.has a 32 bed room.  It`s 4 set of bank beds times 8.
The each set separates by walls but the edge of the walls, there is 1M gaps.
It`s for access to the next room easier.

But the system maybe for the airconditioning.  It can make rooms cooler  together
at once.
 
Broome is in the Kimberley area.  It`s a tropic climate.  So?  The B.P. doesn`t
give us any duvet, pillow,as well.
We can just lay down on a bed simply. some people do it in a sleeping bag
on the bed.Is it an another good idea?

And most surprise is no hot water for shower.   Even middle of hot summer we use
hot water for get reflesh.   But It can be helped.
There is nothing there.

I can enjoy the sun heated water.
I can be happy everytime.  It`s up to my mind direction.

Comfortable days

  I arrived the information centre.  Inside, heartful colour from wall & the Didgeridoo
sound making good environment.   Then I found a nice tour  brochure
from the shelf .

At the counter I booked a dinosour foot prints tour & BackPackers booking for switch.

When I go out, something appered in edge of my sight. Slowly I look at the way.
I found a couple of lizerd!!  I tried to be closer.   They suddenly stand up & running
away with their 2 legs.

Maybe I scared them. But their running style was so funny. 
It was like a commedy film.


Next day  the next Back Packers wagon came just in front of present B.P. entrance
for pick me up.
As a person who has typical Japanese character I don`t want to give any worried to
the present owner.

Usually Japanese we want to move to the other place qwietly.
Because we dont`t like any fighting from conpetitive of getting costomers between
accommodations.

When the driver put my baggage into the wagon, the present B.P. owner came out.
I been little shocked.
But They doesn`t care.

Hello How are you? blah blah...
Have a good day.    Same to you...

They have smile through the conversation.
My worried gone with the Nothern West winds everything.
I envy people`s relationship in Broome.     I love it.

Local people

   I gone out for looking for an information centre.  Normally people ask how to get
somewhere at the information centre.

I walked for a while. I saw quite a huge open space.  There is only big tree.
It`s spread the branches longer.   Many leaves makes quality shadow area under
the tree.

I saw an aborigine there. I met with local people first time except  a busking
Didgeridoo player in the sightseeing spot.

I asked him the information centre. He pointed a house to me.
I saw it where locating far away.
He continued talk to me.  ` You can go there from right way.`
He indicated the way with his arm.

`Or you may go there from left way.`
His rising arm drawing a circle counter clockwise this time.

And ` Otherwise you`ll go just straight ahead.`

Anyway I said `Thank you.` to him.  After I start to walk, I thought.
Does he fun to me?  Maybe he thought that I`m child?!
(Because  Most Japanese looks younger than real age.)

Or there is such a how to say in their traditional conversation...?
If I get some aborigine friend I may solve the question soon.

But I also worried about their kind mind when they give me their authentic
meal at their welcome party.
  Because I` ve heard they sometimes eat big caterpiller for their protein...

I can`t accept it...  How can I explain them about ` no accept it` doesn`t same
mean` decline our friendship`.
Anybody knows the answer???

Ice breaking to unexplored area

     I woke up with a neck pain.  I was surprised at the landscape through the
 bus window.
The ground is red!!  It`s like chilli sauce!!

I got off from the bus.  The air is so refresh.  It`s against  my imagine.

I bought a Aunt Mac`s pie which was my fashion & a fizzy drink in a petro
station.
At the noon I drank a Wendy`s Ice cream shake .  It was bigger than my
anticipation.

When I doing Ice break to the unexplored area, it was with those Junk food...


After I arrived in a Backpackers, I went out for buy something to eat with an
England couple.  The outside gots dark.

This Backpackers has got little bit a complicated system.   We have to pay
deposit to plates, cutlary, cups each by each except common stuff like pans,
cutting boards etc...

Also I have inreresting in  other Backpackers  what`s going on there. (Because
There are no Backpackers in Japan.  )
So I decided to swich to the other one  after spend 2 nights here which I `ve booked.
