スウェーデン、街にはゴミも落ちてないしスタイリッシュで、道も綺麗。
No trash on the streets, stylish, and simply clean,
さて、そんなクリーンな国スウェーデンで起こった
Now, in this very CLEAN country of Sweden…
ラーメン屋での悲劇
The Ramen Shop Tragedy
ストックホルムで入ったラーメン屋にて
This happened at a ramen shop I went to in Stockholm.
味は普通で、店員はアジアンビューティな若い女性でした
The ramen was okay, and the staff member was a pretty young Asian woman.
前の席に地元の家族連れ。お父さんお母さん子供でで、子供が3歳ぐらいかな？ギリギリ箸使えるかなぐらいの感じ
A local family was sitting in front of me — father, mother, and a little kid. Just about old enough to try using chopsticks.
その子頑張って食べてたんだけど、でカチャーンって箸を床に落としちゃったの
The kid was trying hard to eat, then dropped the chopsticks on the floor.
お母さんが「すみません、箸落としちゃいました」って店員さんを呼んだら、
The mother called the staff member and said, “Excuse me, my kid dropped the chopsticks.”
その店員さん、その床に落ちた箸をサッと拾って、
The staff member quickly picked the chopsticks up from the floor,
そのまま子どもに「はい」って渡したああ、、、！！！
and just handed them straight back to the kid. “Here you go.” …!!!
お母さんおとんと話してて気づいてない！
The mom didn’t notice it because she was talking with dad!
子どもは何もわからず受け取って、またそれで食べようとしてて
The kid took them, and was about to start eating again.
ひぃぃぃぃいいいあああやめてえええ！！ NOOOOOOOO!!! I was SHOCKED!!
止めようと思った瞬間、ちょうどお母さんが気づいて、
Just as I was about to stop the kid, the mother noticed.
「え?それさっきの箸じゃない?ダメダメダメ!」って取り上げて、
“What? Aren’t those the chopsticks that just fell on the floor? No, no, NO!” She quickly took them away.
店員さんに苦笑いしながら『新しい箸をください！』って言ったら、
Then, with an awkward smile, she told the staff member, “Please give us NEW chopsticks!”
店員さんも「あ、はい」って感じで普通に新しい箸を持ってきたのよ
And the staff member was just like, “Oh, okay,” and casually brought a new pair.
その家族はスウェーデン人っぽかったけどさすがにスウェーデンの人も、そのアジア系の店員さんの衛生観念のなさにすごいめっちゃ引いてて、
The family looked Swedish, and even they seemed seriously shocked by the Asian staff member’s lack of hygiene awareness.
え?ってなってました
They were basically like, “WHAT?”
いや、普段を想像すると恐ろしいよ
I’m scared to imagine her normal habits.
この人落ちた箸普通に拾う人やん！と
This is someone who thinks picking up chopsticks from the floor!… So,
絶対これ、落ちた味玉のっけてるやん！笑
She’s DEFINITELY putting dropped eggs back in the ramen! lol
もちろんかなり珍しいワンシーンに立ち会ったんだと思います（信じたい）が、きれいな北欧とのイメージギャップが強烈すぎました
Of course, this was probably a very rare scene, but the gap between this and Sweden’s super-clean image was just too strong.
いろんなやつ居るなあ、、There really are all kinds of people…
やっぱ、海外だなあ！！と実感
Yep. I’m definitely abroad!!
