Impressions of Japan

 The company's business with Japan is basically related to the opportunity to go to Japan but can rarely, in 2004, when at last have the chance, although for only a week, but very happy.
From Qingdao to Osaka, the two hours for the first time abroad, the first plane, with excitement, curiosity, excitement and doubt to set foot on the plane of the hanging ladder, gentle and lovely smile in the crew, the safe arrival.
to time with a factory long together, we both do not speak Japanese (I'm okay, and will be a little bit), have been accompanied by a translation, because his visa expired a few days ago, no way to translate only the first two days off However, starting from the national language are not obstacles, so smooth all the way, we both bought a two-way tickets, so can not come back with an interpreter, at that time because the language can not communicate, but suffered a lot ah. < br> to Osaka should be the afternoon, just remember to pick us because the Japanese do not speak Chinese, to be made with two pieces of wood T shaped, each side in a hung above our name, the results we got off the plane to see, feel better when warm. later I heard, because the Japanese lack of resources, that the two pieces of wood from his house the family removed to the --- of course, genuine and difficult to trace.
not on the bus stay in Osaka, but directly bound for Kyoto, Osaka, so we have not seen the appearance.
car driving on the road is not very spacious, my first impression is: the road is so clean and smooth, Ken sat in the car will not be bumps in this sense, a lot of cars on the road, but did not hear the voice of speakers, the same car as the water and orderly moving forward, as if everyone had a good discussion, as travel the same speed, do not see the phenomenon of overtaking, so although the road is not wide, but not crowded.
to Kyoto after the round with our translator, and then to the hotel registration, hotel guests booked in advance, it seems very high, about 600 yuan a night, but to the hotel, I found a strange phenomenon: the hotel attendants are over 50 years old lady, and some even seem to have more than 70 years old, which also saw a back has been bent almost 90 degrees to look like, see this scenario there is a sad feeling, then secretly asked our translator, he told me: the Japanese labor shortage, this phenomenon is normal.
night eat roast beef, and then for the first time to eat raw eggs, raw eggs, but that is our only dare to eat highly agitated, of course, is what the final taste is certainly not aware of, and later sent a really sweet cantaloupe vine with large grains, translation tells us that: Today is a very high etiquette dinner meal, as roast beef in Japan is a very valuable food. so high in the second day of treatment meal we enjoyed a night .. ....< br> The next day was Sunday, the Japanese have a rest, so he played with us to visit Kyoto, the ancient city, I finally understand why we have had in Kyoto.
really old Kyoto, There was virtually no high-rise buildings, most of the old buildings are preserved, especially the famous temple here, large and small may be a few White House and the more famous are: the Golden Pavilion Temple, Silver Pagoda, etc., is said to Golden Pavilion Temple is cast with 75 tons of gold, of course, the somewhat fictional, but the Golden Pavilion Temple --- really feels magnificent, magnificent, but unfortunately because of the road as the tire to a strange place with the first did not sleep well the night, the weather was hot, and of course the language barrier, only a few places I visited asked to return, and now think about a little regret ......< br> In this day of the visit , also saw a different place in China: Japan's taxi drivers, and other fees are also used at the elderly, as it has been learned is the labor shortage problem, so when I do not see them again surprised.
noon to a small restaurant, but a lot of people see there is a tofu recipe above: smooth and delicate, giving a feeling of the entrance to particularly want to eat, so to this point tofu, did not think those Japanese friends thought I like to eat tofu it, unwittingly points to several species, and later learned that tofu in Japan is also a more expensive food, in fact I am not special like tofu, But I was touched ......< br> night and again by high etiquette dinner for is: eat Hokkaido crab. that the crab is really big Yeah, just body parts to almost a plate as big, lifted the lid back, which estimated a bowl of juice, plus crab legs, then ...... the food is baked, the waiter helped us cut a piece, and then prepared charcoal baked by our own, probably because I was the only full-Block, the Japanese woman with it, the results as long as things are first baked and brought it me to eat, I was more concrete, until finally make it, even eat my favorite food can not eat sushi, so sorry Yeah ......< br> However, the waiter in this restaurant is the kind of comparison to see beautiful young the ......< br> Japanese are to comply traffic rules, for example, when crossing over, whether it is day or night, whether it was or no one, as long as the red light, and no one will break away because there is no danger of ......< br> spent two nights in Kyoto, we shifted to Tokyo, Kyoto, the capital of Japan compared with the totally another scene: tall buildings, busy, narrow streets but does not seem crowded, even our hotel are completely different, when in Kyoto, the hotel room is very spacious, with no difference in the country, but Tokyo is not the same to the room which can take advantage of the use of space: the bathroom door opened just touching the opposite walls, the bed is set in the wall, a desk opposite the bed, between the bed and desk can be turned just enough for one person, the house is short, stand up to the top of the ceiling there is a feeling that the two like thin walls between rooms, even the next room who could hear the voice of breath, to live in this room gives a very depressing feeling. But there's room prices are very high, probably 900 per night RMB looks.
in Japan, especially Tokyo, if someone has a piece of land the size of 1 minute, then it quickly enough to enjoy this one life, and Tokyo, few people own a car, because the car can be bought onwards, but can not afford to rent parking spaces can not afford too ......< br> Tokyo, the first night after dinner for a hearing to Ginza not understand the opera, and then we went to sing karaoke was found in the All attendants are those with an Asian face long, and there are a lot of would speak Chinese, the translation tell me: in Japan, such an occasion, the majority are Chinese or Korean. heard here has a sad heart feeling.
as suited to the occasion, could not understand what people were singing, coupled with a bad mood, I am a person on the first back to the hotel, a man bored to turn on the TV, watching to see that despite the could not understand the programs do not understand, then exactly when the 28th Olympic Games held in the Chinese women's volleyball on TV when I saw a Japanese women's volleyball team, the result no doubt of course.
so open TV stumbled to sleep in the past when the bed suddenly felt very serious shaking a bit, began to think that people get the room next door, but came back soon realized the earthquake, then climb up a Gulu, to carefully listen to the outside Has anyone run out of the movement, but everything is kind of quiet, come back to play subtitles on TV to see: Tokyo region 3.4 earthquake has just occurred, realized that Tokyo is earthquake-prone areas, it has been accustomed to, so that the earthquake occurred that no one will run out. but still a little afraid, is already more than 2 am, our people have not come back, I'll give them a call, just pick up the phone to hear them the voice came back ......< br> spent three days in Tokyo, the play is good to go to Disney, but it is not interested, go to the supermarket to buy some Japanese specialties, ready to give back to colleagues and friends , eat expensive, a box of snacks will nearly 100 yuan, but here's something really good to eat ...... then went to the duty-free shops, to help colleagues to buy the camera, then went to find The waiters working here most of Chinese students, which help us to service two: one from Beijing and one from Weihai. see them really good warm ......< br> to Japan These days, the greatest feeling is sleep well, may add up to a week's time to sleep a night's sleep, and immediately from Osaka to Kyoto, from Kyoto to Kobe, from Kobe to Tokushima, from Tokushima to Tokyo, then back to Osaka from Tokyo on the way ...... all the time seems not yet to adapt to the need to return back to the days of the.
still can not come back with an interpreter, he returned from Tokyo, we or returned from Osaka, this time a bit worried, its simply not enough for that point in Japanese, and English and have forgotten about it, accompanied by the director in addition to mother tongue and not say anything other than the way palpitating to the airport, or the wrong place,bailey UGG boots, who the director a bit nervous, restless, and his head is thin sweat, but fortunately, I am more calm and walked in front of a waiter, with the Japanese to tell her: I am sorry My Japanese is poor. and then said in English: please tell me, who can speak Chinese? so awkward, Japanese + English + Chinese, finally we get on the back of the plane, my heart is also a stone remain in the Osaka airport, of course, the director who has such a cute.
very sorry, a trip to Japan, other things did not stay, leaving only two big stones ......
back that night, the first feeling is: home bread so good ......
