Guappo e Guapparia: Influenze dello Spagnolo sul Napoletano e storia dei Quartieri Spagnoli / Spanish Influences on Neapolitan 

私はずっと関西の街中に住んでたから、引っ越しで富山（とやま）に6年住んだときは、外国に行ったみたいだった。大雪も初めてなら、湿気で洗濯物が乾かなくて、乾燥機を買いに走ったのも、今となっては、いい思い出です。「大自然」を実感したのは、あそこ。今に続く「魚食い」になったのも、あそこです。最近、富山のニュースで、わくわくするようなお知らせを見つけました。「黒部宇奈月（うなづき）キャニオンルート」の運行開始です。
