3月3日、私は神戸港から最終目的地、ブラジルへ行く船の上にいました。

「ブラジル丸」という三井商船の最後の移民船です。

船底の一番安い部屋が私の予約した場所で、

これからアメリカまで2週間をここで過ごすことになりました.

当時は留学生のほとんどは船で目的地へ行きました。

理由としては飛行機代がとても高かったこと、

そして船旅を楽しみながら目的地に着きたかったのだと思います。

　On March 3rd, I was on the ship which took us to the final destination, Brazil from the Kobe Port. It was the last immigrant ship of the Mitsui merchant ship called “the Brazil Maru”. My space was the cheapest room at the bottom of the ship that I reserved, and would spend two weeks here to the United States.

　In those days most of the students who wanted to study abroad took a boat. One reason was that the airplane fare was so expensive that we could not afford it. The other reason was that we wanted to enjoy having a good time with people on a boat.

My story will be continued soon.
