先日、夢を叶えるお手伝いをさせてもらいました。
それは17歳男子のヨーロッパのチェコからのお客様。素敵なママとツアープロデューサーの女性と一緒に現れました。
チェコのGolden Fishという慈善事業団体が、5歳から18歳の重病患者を対象に、「彼らの夢を叶える」ということをしているのだそう。
Recently, we had the privilege of helping fulfill a dream.
It was a 17-year-old boy from the Czech Republic in Europe, along with his wonderful mother and a tour producer. They came to us as part of a charitable organization called ‘Golden Fish’ from the Czech Republic. This organization is dedicated to granting the dreams of critically ill children between the ages of 5 and 18.
なんと素晴らしいのでしょうか！！
しかもそれは全て寄付金で賄われているそう。
地球のほぼ反対側へ飛行機で旅をして約1週間、東京を楽しんだそう。渋谷駅交差点はもちろん、明治神宮や原宿、スカイツリー、それに日本のマクドナルドのオリジナルメニューまで。
How incredible is that!
And the best part is, it’s all funded by donations.
They traveled nearly halfway around the world by plane, enjoying Tokyo for about a week. From Shibuya Crossing to Meiji Shrine, Harajuku, Skytree, and even trying Japan’s unique McDonald’s menu items.
そして、この旅の最後の日、彼の望みは、
『大黒埠頭に集まるかっこいい車を見に行く』
だったそう。
私たちは浅草にある「変なホテル」に彼らを迎えに行きました。
And on the last day of this journey, his wish was to:
‘Go see cool cars gathering at Daikoku Pier.’
We went to pick them up at the ‘Henna Hotel’ in Asakusa
当日は薄曇りの平日の夕方、車がそれほど集まらなさそうな時間帯だったので心配したけれども、ほぼ2時間の滞在で駐車場をぐるりと何度か回り、めぼしい車もいくらか見られたことで、ほぼ満足そうな彼を見られてママもプロデューサーもご満悦でした。
途中、食べたかったラーメンとカツカレーもPAで美味しそうに食べていました。
すっかり夜になった帰りの湾岸線のイルミネーション、車内で楽しんでくれていました。
On that slightly overcast weekday evening, we were concerned because it didn’t seem like a time when many cars would gather. However, during their nearly two-hour stay, we circled the parking lot several times, and they were able to see quite a few impressive cars. It was heartwarming to see him so content, and both his mother and the producer were delighted.
In between, they enjoyed a delicious meal of ramen and katsu curry at a restaurant, which they had been wanting to try.
As the night fell on the way back, they also had a great time admiring the illuminations along the bay on the Rainbow Bridge, enjoying the view from inside the car.
