今回(こんかい)はYouTubeで見(み)たカリフォルニアにあるスラブシティという場所(ばしょ)の話(はなし)をしました。スラブシティには法律(ほうりつ)がなく、人々(ひとびと)が自由(じゆう)に暮(く)らしています。「法律(ほうりつ)がない」というととても怖(こわ)い場所(ばしょ)のように思(おも)えますが、詳(くわ)しく見(み)てみると、お金(かね)や物(もの)に縛(しば)られず、人々(ひとびと)がお互(たが)いリスペクトし合(あ)って生活(せいかつ)しているようです。新(あたら)しいiPhoneを買(か)ったばかりの私(わたし)ですが、物(もの)を持(も)つこと、お金(かね)を持(も)つことについてもう一度(いちど)考(かんが)え直(なお)すいい機会(きかい)になりました。とても面白(おもしろ)い街(まち)だと思(おも)うので、みなさんも今回(こんかい)のエピソードを聞(き)いて、現代(げんだい)の消費(しょうひ)社会(しゃかい)を見直(みなお)してみてもいいかもしれませんね。

In this episode, I talked about a place called Slab City in California, which I saw on YouTube. Slab City is a lawless area where people live freely. The phrase 'without law' might make it seem like a scary place, but on closer inspection, it appears people live there respecting each other, unbound by money or possessions. As someone who just bought a new iPhone, this was a good opportunity for me to rethink what it means to own things and to have money. I think it's a very interesting town, so listening to this episode might also be a good chance for everyone to reconsider our modern consumer society.
