サントス中心部の白昼で！？絶対想像できない、本当にあった怖い話！

　ブラジル

ブラジル滞在中に通訳の人からとても信じられないお話を聞きました・

１、その人が仕事のため　市内を車で走行中、信号機が赤になったので停車しました。

すると、助手席側の窓がコンコンと叩かれたので、窓を開けると～

いきなりピストルを突き出され「金を出せ！」と脅されたというのです。

一瞬、身動きできなくて動けなったけど、とりあえず、　

ポケットの中の小銭を渡すとすぐに引き上げたので大事には至らなかった。

と話しました。

その人は、それまでも信号で停車中に物乞いの子供から　手を突き出して　お金をくれと

言われた経験は何度かあったという事ですが～。

サンパウロの市内、白昼堂々、まさか「ピストル強盗」に遭遇するとは

夢にも思わなかったと述べていました。

その人は、ブラジル在住１０年以上で日系ブラジル人会にも所属し

ブラジルの事は　本当に悪く思いたくないし、言いたくもないが。。。

こんな目に合うとさすがに嫌になるな！とこぼしていました。

「平和な日本を思い出すよ！」と一言。

２，知人がブラジル滞在中　地元のサッカークラブの試合を見にいった時のことです。

勿論プロチームの試合です。

その試合は地元クラブが大勝、アウェイのクラブが大敗したので試合直後スタジアム内では、

両チームのサポーターの一群が一種の興奮状態になったそうです。

知人らは、流石、本場ブラジルの試合は応援が違う！と「熱狂的、クレージー？」と思ってみていたようです。

しかし、その後、サポーターの一群がスタジアムの外に出て、一般の公道に入ると今度は一挙に暴徒化し、

車は破壊するし、殴り合いのケンカは始めるし騒乱状態になったとの事です。

知人は遠くから、この騒ぎはどうなるのか？心配して見ていたそうですが、間もなく

動きがあったとの事。

日本では見たこともない、地元警察の騎馬隊が繰り出し、「暴徒を蹴散らかし、鎮静化」を

図ったと話していました。

本当に本場のサッカーファンは「熱すぎッ！」（汗）

　　リオデジャネイロ

３，また通訳の人の話です。

前回（２０１６年）のオリパラの開催地　リオデジャネイロの事です。

リオのカーニバルで有名な「明るく元気な国際的観光地」として知られて

いますが、この街にも「光と影」があります。

この大都市は、昼間は明るく、陽気です、とってもフレンドリー、

しかし、夜は本当に危険で、「信号で止まると石や棍棒を持った集団が

襲撃してくるので、絶対！信号で止まらない様に」と友人からアドバイスを受けたという事です。

私は時間がある時「是非リオデジャネイロにも行きたい」と思っていたのですがちょっと考えが変わりました。

ただ、やはりオリパラが開催されたので少し治安は良くなったとの事です。

これが、オリパラの残した「良いレガシー」だと思います。

「ず～と」続きますようにと私は祈念しています。

English version

In broad daylight in the center of Santos! Absolutely unimaginable, a real scary story!　

In Brazil

During my stay in Brazil, I heard a very unbelievable story from my interpreter.

While he was driving in the city for work, the traffic light turned red, so he stopped the car.

Then, I heard a tap on the passenger side window, so I opened the window.

When he opened the window, he was suddenly confronted with a pistol and threatened to give up his money. He said that he was threatened.

For a moment, I couldn’t move, but I gave him some coins in my pocket.　

I gave him some coins in my pocket and he pulled me out immediately.

I told him that I was not in any trouble.

He had experienced this many times before, when he was stopped at a traffic light and

a begging child stuck out his hand and asked him for money.

He said that he had experienced it several times before.

He said he never dreamed that he would encounter a “pistol robbery” in broad daylight

in the city of Sao Paulo.

This person has lived in Brazil for more than 10 years and belongs to a Japanese Brazilian

Association.

I really don’t want to think badly of Brazil, and I don’t want to say it, but…

I don’t really want to think badly of Brazil, and I don’t want to say anything about it,

but it’s really disgusting to see them like this! He said.

“It reminds me of peaceful Japan!” I said.

2. An acquaintance of mine was in Brazil when he went to watch a game of a local soccer club.

Of course, it was a professional team game.

The local club won overwhelming victory　and the away club lost big, so immediately

after the game, there was a crowd of supporters of both teams in the stadium.

The local club won overwhelming victory and the away club lost big, so immediately after

the game, a group of supporters of both teams were in a state of excitement.

My acquaintances said, “It’s just like a real game in Brazil! They seemed to think, “Crazy, crazy?

They seemed to think so.

But later, when a group of supporters went out of the stadium and entered the public road,

they became a mob.

Cars were vandalized, fistfights broke out, and mayhem ensued.

My acquaintance was watching the commotion from a distance, wondering what would happen.

He said he was watching anxiously from afar.

I heard that there was movement soon.

He said that the cavalry of the local police, which he had never seen in Japan, came out

to “kick the rioters to the ground and calm them down.

I was told that they were trying to “kick out the rioters and calm them down.

Soccer fans in the real world are really “too hot! (Sweat)

3. Here’s another story from the interpreter.

I was talking about Rio de Janeiro, the host city of the last Olypara Games (2016).

It is known as a “bright and cheerful international tourist destination” famous for

the Rio Carnival.

However, this city also has its “lights and shadows”.

This big city is bright, cheerful, and friendly during the day.

But at night, it is really dangerous.

If you stop at a traffic light, a group of people with rocks and clubs will attack you.

But at night it is really dangerous.

When I had time, I was thinking that I would love to visit Rio de Janeiro,

but now I have changed my mind.

However, I heard that security has improved a bit since the Oly-pala was held.

I think this is the “good legacy” left by the Oly-pala.

“I pray that it will continue for a long time.
