Bunga bunga party
年下の女性との婚約を明らかにした、イタリアのベルルスコーニ前首相が、 ２０年以上にわたって結婚生活を続けてきた、２人目の妻のベロニカ・ラリオ（Veronica Lario）さんに対して、生活費として毎月、日本円でおよそ３億４０００万円を支払うことで 合意したことが明らかになり、師走の日本にも大きく報道されました。
bunga bungaは、この表現がイタリアのみならず英文メディアでも話題になりはじめたときにアップしようなかと思ったものの、この方面に一家言を持つKoyamamotoくんか、GPくんが扱うだろうと信じて封印してきたものです。しかし、２人ともそういう「素顔」をあまり見せたくなかったようです。
まあ、ここまで来たらもう良いでしょう。これはリビアの故カダフィ大佐のパーティを真似たイタリア式のハーレム的なオージーのことを指します。「花」を意味するbunga はインドネシア語、マレー語だとも言われますが、人間、富と権力があると行き着くところまでいくのですね、Koyamamotoくん。詳しくはUrban Dictionaryを参照ください。（UG）
Berlusconi to pay ex-wife $4m-a-month alimony (that's $132,000 a DAY!)
Bunga bunga parties cost former Italian premier dear, according to the Italian press
An Italian newspaper has reported the details of the divorce settlement between ex-Premier Silvio Berlusconi and his second wife Veronica Lario, saying he must pay her $4 million a month alimony but gets to keep their estate.
Corriere della Sera said Friday the paperwork was filed Christmas Day at Milan's tribunal.
Lario announced she was divorcing the billionaire media mogul in 2009, citing his presence at the 18th birthday party of a Naples girl and his fondness for younger women. The couple met in a dressing room in 1980 after Berlusconi saw Lario perform in a Milan theater, were married in 1990 and have three grown children. He has two children from his first marriage.
Berlusconi, whose reported "bunga bunga" parties won worldwide notoriety, has repeatedly denied having sex with Moroccan-born nightclub dancer Karima El Mahroug, better known by her stage name of "Ruby the Heartstealer"
The 76-year-old Berlusconi is currently dating a woman nearly 50 years his junior.
