Completed round-the-world journey in Argeria!!

Bonjour! This is Ken. Finally, I made it!
I completed the 32th stop of the round-the-world journey!!

It was long way. 

We left Japan last June, and I went to Asia ⇒ Europe ⇒ Africa ⇒ Oceania  ⇒ South America⇒ north Central America. 

Then, we went back to Europe again, and came to Algeria. 
For a moment I thought it was great when I completed the 32th stop,  but.....I didn't feel it... Umm...Why.....? 

Then, I realized that I went to 32 countries to enjoy the World Cup in terms of 32 different perspectives. 

I won't feel involved in this unless the World Cup starts. 

The World Cup in South Africa will start in 56 days and it will end in 87 days! 

That's why this round-the-world journey continues still more! 
Today, I'm goint to briefly report about Algeria. 

Please look at the national flag in the first picture. 
A Vietnamese national flag is next to the Algerian national flag.  
It is a red one. 

Well, I heard that a VIP of Vietnam, which is the same socialist country as Algeria, is staying in Algeria.

It might be that a direct flight has been started or something like that, according to the picture of the paper.

The military and policemen were standing every 100m to the guardrail side of freeway.

The scenery went several kms.

They seem bored.

This heavy security might be due to the VIP's visiting.
But I have never seen this scenery.

This is socialism, isn't it?

Also, I noticed there are a lot of parabola antenna.

I have never seen anything like this.

I think they have more than one parabola antenna per one household....

I've got contact with a Japanese who live in Algeria, so I'm going to meet them in a few days and ask about the heavy security and a lot of parabolic antenna.

Well, speaking of a Japanese, when I was looking for an ATM in the airport, a guy called Hagiwara talked to us, "Are you Japanese?" in Japanese.

He is a mix of Japanese and Algerian, and he haslived in Algeria since he was 4 years old.

He asked me out for dinner suddenly.
I wondered if I can trust him or not.

Mr. Hagiwara guided me to the taxi stand.

I negotiated the taxi fare, but the driver offered us much more expensive one than usual.

I believe in the ethical doctrine that human nature is fundamentally good, so I feel uncertain.... See you soon.
