Jer Straafと話した内容をここに残しておきます。
彼はメインランドの北大陸における鉄道のコミュニティであるSecond Life Railway Commissionの代表的な人物です。

これまではSLRRに関わる話がほとんどでしたが、Swedenについてあたしに訊いてきたので逆に問い返すと
彼も仕事でSwedenにいたことがあるのでした＾＾

SLRRをめぐるLLやコンソーシアムと激しい戦いを繰り広げた去年から今年の初めにかけてコミッションの先頭に立って
反対派からの批判の矢面に立った彼ですが、RLの話なども交えて優しい一面と彼の考えに共感する部分を持つことができました。そう、この会話もあたしにとっては英語の練習になっているんです。
