Interview with a friend from UK.

LA VELADA DEL AÑO

Greenland's prime minister has said that the people of the mineral-rich Arctic territory don't want to be Americans.

However, he understands the US President-elect Donald Trump's interest in the island given its strategic location, and he's open to greater cooperation with Washington.

The comments from the Greenlandic leader, Múte B. Egede, came after Trump said that he wouldn't rule out using force or economic pressure in order to make Greenland — a semiautonomous territory of Denmark — a part of the US.

Trump said that it was a matter of national security for the US.

Egede acknowledged that Greenland is part of the North American continent, and "a place that the Americans see as part of their world." He said he hasn't spoken to Trump, but that he's open to discussions about what "unites us."

"Cooperation is about dialogue. Cooperation means that you will work towards solutions," he said.

Egede has been calling for independence for Greenland, presenting Denmark as a colonial power that hasn't always treated the Indigenous Inuit population well.

"Greenland is for the Greenlandic people. We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic," he said.

Trump's desire for Greenland has caused anxiety across Europe. The US is a strong ally of the European Union, and many Europeans were shocked by the suggestion that an incoming US leader could even consider using force against an ally.

Greenland has a population of 57,000. But it is a vast territory possessing natural resources that include oil, gas, and rare earth elements, which are expected to become more accessible as ice melts because of climate change.

It also has a key strategic location in the Arctic, where Russia, China and others are seeking to expand their interests.

Greenland, the world's largest island, lies closer to the North American mainland than to Denmark.

【スクリプト】
こんにちは～！マルハバ！サウジの日本語の先生、佳子です＾＾
みなさんー！お元気ですか？私は元気ですよ～！今日は「サウジの民族衣装」についてお話ししたいと思います。
サウジなどの湾岸諸国では男性は白い衣装を着ます。地域によって呼び名は異なりますが、サウジではトーブやソーブ（Thobe)と呼ばれています。長袖で長いタイトスカートのような感じです。中に白くて長いパンツをはきます。素材は基本的にはコットンで通気性がよく暑い気候に適しています。冬はウールなどの暖かい素材を使っていて、黒やグレーなどの暗い色のトーブが人気です。安いもので3,000円、オーダーメイドだと3万円以上することもあります。カジュアルなものだと、ジッパー付きや2色使いなどいろんなデザインのものがあります。Wikipediaによると、生地は輸入に頼っていて、なんと日本製が約40%を占めているとのことです。中東と日本の意外なつながりを発見しましたね！
着るタイミングはというと、役所などでの仕事、役所や警察署、結婚式などフォーマルな場で着たり、家族の集まりや普段のお出かけなど日常的に着る人も多いです。白であればフォーマルな場でもカジュアルな場でもどちらでも大丈夫です。
そして先日、家でサウジの東側の伝統的なハロウィーンのような子供のパーティーがあり、息子に初めてトーブを買いました。白い普通のトーブです。イベント用のトーブもありますが、他のときにも使えるように白にしました。トーブを着ると、すっかりサウジの子供に見えました。ちゃんとトーブを着てパーティーを楽しんでくれて良かったです。

それではまた！マア　アッサラーマ！
