39 Weeks And Doctor Stretched My Cervix

Food, art and nature



(Yokohama by night)


















Admitting man Nature has done much more than a calculation error: an attack on itself.
-Emile M. Cioran

In these days when I have not updated the blog were taken from the first home video I made with the camera. It lasts twenty minutes and not in HDV (High Digital Video, aka high definition) because the laptop Lapo (and you thought) is not powerful enough to handle it. However, it has the quality of a camera and a normal size of four gigabytes I compressed to 192 megs with no apparent loss of quality. I'm looking for some way to be able to upload on the Internet that, in the future, who cares (who can) if you can download.
I also started a photoblog to Flickr where photos will put more cute / curious that I did.

During the past week I visited Yokohama, which since 1856 has, in fact, the port of Tokyo. In the past
Tokyo and Yokohama were two separate cities but in the last century houses have held throughout the region to which it is not possible, by eye, to distinguish from one another if not for the fact that Yokohama is on the sea: it's not clear where it begins and ends the city because what in the past had to be a gulf is now full of bridges, buildings and huge ice shelves that they recover quickly everything the sea has eroded over the centuries. From the point of view of nature is a shame but from the standpoint of science and technology is certainly fascinating, after all the gulfs in nature there are many, losing a will not be a disaster.
turned our eyes to the horizon, toward the ocean, you can see many Construction of the great pillars among which acts to hold a double-decker bridge connecting the two ends of the bay. It will be two or three kilometers long and at night is lit by blue lights that fascinate the viewer.
One thing I noticed today is that the sea is clean, transparent. I could hardly believe that I filmed and somehow I must be weird results to the Japanese sit on the promenade alien intent on seeing this film, one of the palaces and other attractions, the shallow water of the port a few meters from him. Maybe they do not know that in Livorno, a city one hundred times smaller than a hundred times less Yokohama industries, water and 'black and if you fall into trouble.
In Yokohama water instead of the port is transparent, you see all the beautiful backdrop to several meters below. The rest had already spoken of the rivers where people bathe in the summer so why be astonished if the water in the largest port in Japan is clear?
While today I was headed for Chinatown, I spent a bridge over a river, the water was dark blue, clean and swam in the waters placid, huge big carp more than half a meter.

A gentle breeze caresses your face as we turn our backs to the feared ocean (in the minds of the Japanese sea still arouses a sense of mystery and fear, after all islanders have in past centuries and those who lived on the coast fed almost exclusively of fruits of peach) and aim the motionless, noble skyscrapers built years ago when Japan was in full "bubble economy" and seemed able to buy the entire planet.
Today these beautiful architectural jewels attract some tourists, but most are filled with offices and luxurious restaurants. One of them is the most majestic of others not only because of its height, but the feeling I get from looking at it, if it could talk I'm sure I would say arrogantly: "Hey, try to give me a push, so I do not move an inch." Exudes an aura of strength and yet is only a building, but it seems that its foundations, its roots are deep, so abysmal that nothing can move me from where it is. And 'the tallest building in Japan and certainly the most beautiful places I have seen so far. At night when hundreds of lights illuminate it is less "strong" but more scenic.
Walking through the city no longer the case f or more cleaning and organization that reigns supreme here and the silence and the breeze helped me to associate the French city to a metropolis like Paris Brest or if it was not here for the Gulls more replaced by huge ravens croak constantly. Yet I have seen gulls but in this region there are few birds and the ones that survive well are just these huge, dark, crows. Moreover
against the pigeons were taken many measures so that these birds there are few means any area where they can perch or roof is covered with stilettos and somehow the eggs are removed from the nests. Among other things, the shape of the buildings is not sufficient to permit easy for the birds nest (but also for other birds) especially in the center because there are no roofs. Given that the streets are clean and there are not many insects have little to eat so we find them only in parks. Bidding farewell to the pigeons but also to give the swallows and other birds that we usually see in Italy. Yokohama
loses a bit of fascination with the mind if Brest gazed at sunset, with its gull and their song, a city of sea gulls is not difficult to imagine, but here in Japan has lost a lot of nature. Just
the absence of gulls in Yokohama as a city judge "cold, lifeless? The crows, perhaps, not have a case? It takes the development of the sea, the invasions made by man against nature to judge it this way? Maybe yes, maybe no, but then there are a lot of beach town in the world, losing a will not be a disaster.



** I was also at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo in Ueno district to view an exhibition in which they were exposed several works of Japanese authors, including that of a friend of the father of Kanako. I did not like much: let's face it I do not know what art is, I'm not an expert. From
profane which I think work is good if it meets the aesthetic standards which not only harm the feelings but portray something real, unreal or even outside of physics.
A beam pinned to a wall does not give me any feeling except the envy of the artist who conceived it and maybe it 'became famous for this work. A huge framework with three colored cubes under buckets of colored paint as above.
work and do not say that 'if this is not the same as a Caravaggio but at least shows me that if a landscape that is "clean" and designed well, can have strange colors, be distorted, upside down to what you want but the hand of the painter should give the idea of \u200b\u200bsomeone with a brush and a lot we can do. Get
Picasso, many outsiders consider it an inability that has been lucky enough to invent a genre. I am not among those so different from his feelings show through clear and sharp pictures that create a feeling in the soul of the viewer defined. However, if
to me absurd to propose a Caravaggio paintings by Picasso for ten I would not doubt what to choose.

enthusiasm for life is what you hunger for food. -Bertrand Russell
Food. I am passionate about food that I consider torture to walk the floors of shopping and only find food, all types, shapes and sizes.
In Italy you have to go to eat sushi restaurants from 40 € per person and here you find in supermarkets entire parcel to two Euros. Everything is different, strange, special. How can you not fancy while wander these halls filled with mouth-watering dishes without trying to taste something? It 's impossible for me. How can you not have tears in their eyes as you travel in these worlds beyond this world made of rice, tofu, desserts, sandwiches filled with everything, sandwiches, omelettes, udon (rice noodles), ramen (soup with soba noodles), food Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese and more? Impossible.
I know people that if you feed them with ribs and sauce rather die of hunger. Another individual in the example I always though it has forgotten the face and name, tended to divide the peas more dark to lighter ones just before eating and only one of two types.
When I went to Paris with friends from the gym I remember that were disgusted with the French cuisine with all its flourishes and strange colors. The contempt too, but certainly not because it is bad but because it is little (if we talk about Couisine novels, which appears to have gained the upper hand). In terms of taste and presentation that I can not file the plate with his tongue.
But my friends do not eat anything, not even tasted the foie Grais or other delicacies brown bubbles in the category that all produce.
I wonder how they could survive in Japan, where what you eat is much more alien.
Yesterday in a restaurant typically quite expensive and also a friend of Kanako asks me if I've ever eaten liver. The answer: "Yes, in Italy you eat and I like a lot even though Spain is better."
"Raw?" Asks me quiet.
"Yes, very good among other things," he says, recalling fondly the delicious delicacies savored a few days before.
"Fish?" He asks quietly.
"Oh no, no fish," I say quiet, hoping that no one notices from my expression that I had no idea that fish had livers. Clearly
leave me the burden of the liver taste of raw fish and I do it willingly delicious. Then we
switched to a common plate of sashimi here: several slices of raw fish, tuna, salmon, mackerel, etc., I think it's better than that spans various cooked (and then there are no bones!).
I tasted sea urchin eggs (raw of course), oysters (but those we are eaten raw) and other delicacies cooked and raw that many of my friends and acquaintances would turn up a lot of his nose.
Well I say to those who have read with disgust the few foods that I described above:
"knowing how to feel, taste and appreciate things for us so different is a gift and who does not have it will never understand how beautiful eat. "

These days it rains due to a typhoon that is skimming the coast of Japan. Because of this rain I did not do anything special, even here, an Italian, even walking down the street is special.
However, in short, I visited the districts linitrofi and bought a video camera, the Sony HDR-HC1K. This camera that costs less than half here in Italy, uses a high-definition video technology to record images with the quality of a DVD.
I already tried to download movies on a computer, compact in divx, burn them on DVD and so on. Everything perfect. I just have to become familiar with these video editing programs otherwise offer the public the risk of a long boring movie than 5 hours.
I also heard my first earthquake of this year: Sunday afternoon while the laptop tinkered'm shaking all over, I do not care and come back to play with. Later they told me here at home when there is an earthquake is running well on the top floor of the house because if it were very strong the first thing that happens is that some of the Twin Tower: The upper floors of those crushing lows. Beautiful is not it?

Apart from these toys last night we were in my car with a `friend Kanako, the streets of Yokohama.
this girl's car is similar to many other machines here, a kind of huge van, quiet, comfortable, ultraspazioso, hyper with integrated GPS and of course with an automatic transmission.
burn some red and committing the usual lack of attention that only a woman can commit to the guide, led us gently for a couple of hours' walk to Yokohama, between neighborhoods full of restaurants, nightclubs, pubs, buildings, offices and even over a huge bridge that recalls' what they want to do to the Strait of Messina but here `s have made in less than a year.
We left at 19:30 and returned at 22:00. Code found? None. Traffic? the same that we can all be in Florence is one of the night.
but now I wonder how it is possible that in a city that has 10 million people there is no traffic? simple, everyone, even in the hot hours like these, take the public services that work seamlessly, are clean and the cost right.
Each shopping center, neighborhood or important public building in Tokyo and Yokohama (remember that they are virtually two cities attacked, indistinguishable one from the `other` to nowadays) is connected via an underground network of metropolatina / train. Every three minutes exactly is a train which can either be local in that it stops at every station, or espresso (which runs every 15 minutes) which stops in the most important ones. Each written on large display of departures / arrivals is bilingual (English Japanese).
here if a train has a delay of two minutes the company running the train must pay fines salty and of course the strike does not exist because everyone is paid more than good and then never a hardship.
Needless to say, when we have to move underground is the best and quickest. The train
is always clean, has air conditioning / heating and is just a bit boring because they all take it to the 18/20 return to work and gets stuck between the people (which is very quiet even if they are from industry professionals packed into the train make them fit all).
In the race yesterday evening only one person has played the horn when he noticed that he was going to dab my (ah wing mirror, when did women remember that there?) And travel and has been quiet in this sort of spaceship that was his huge Nissan.
Passing through the streets, all clean and full of huge buildings and lights phantasmagoric wonder when in Italy you can watch this general.
I think ever.
L `Italy for his apparent luck (instead is one of his greatest misfortune) lives on the decomposed remains of an Empire and later on the ruins of ancient civilizations that we in the modern world are a curse. You can not dig without finding some artifact. On one side is a good thing, but forcing us to live in a small area blocked by cars and smog with no possibility of solving the root. Here the other day of the plates do not know what they are, the air is clean, not to mention the rivers where people bathe there.
The bathroom! can you imagine now the people who bathe in the Arno or the Tiber? perhaps suicide.
Here the rivers that pass through Tokyo and Yokohama are so well kept and clean that people there are bathrooms and picnic on the shore.
with us if you get too close to the bank risks that tarpon you drag in the water-to devour.
One other thing-denoting a civilization superior to ours: the bathrooms.
Each store has its own bathroom, also a hairdresser. If you need to do you can safely walk into a store and ask where is the bathroom without anyone to use it you look bad.
Every mall has one or two bathrooms per floor (normally has nine storeys in height and two underground). All the bathrooms are clean, smell and even have well classical music in the background.
and I've yet to find a dirty or stink.
with us when there is one already is expected to clean the place that houses the top of the top, type restaurant from € 100 per person.
And to find one you have to travel for miles, and if you find you have to pay well. Ridiculous.


I am ashamed when I think of those Japanese who come to Italy and see where we are ... because many of them only know us for our fashion and our machines. In every place you see Italian brands, Prada, Gucci, Barilla, Ferrari ... etc. and we admire very much for this. Then come to Italy and I guess you wonder if the plane is Nation's wrong, maybe the pilot in command is confused and is not landed in Somalia Italy.
But unfortunately no mistake.

The flight from Florence and 'party with a few minutes late arriving in just over an hour in Monaco: we had not run for miss the connection with the Boeing direct to Tokyo Narita leaving the stomach the tasteless cheese sandwich that austere hostess Aryan us, with that sense of superiority, of which only the Germans are capable of, given.
Despite the rush was noted for not being in Italy because the strange silence of the crowd mixed with a meticulous cleaning made us understand clearly that we had landed in another state. However, no 'is never said that Italy and' worst in all: German boarded the airplane I noticed with regret the lack of mini TV plugged into the back of each passenger as normally happens in every international flight that respects. This means that for ten hours I could not help but listen to the speeches of a nearby group of over thirty German skinhead who is already a few moments after sitting in their seats drinking, in the up and the burp, cans of beer. These individuals who seemed interested only in magazines Harley style motorcycle rigorously cleaned by big woman naked have done nothing but bark all the time sounds very similar to those we hear barking in the famous film about the Third Reich or echo in another language especially in the South Peninsula Italica. The only satisfaction to see them all pass before the Japanese police intent on patrol every corner of their suitcases causing him to lose all the time that I was robbed poor Italian less sleep.
past controls the family we are Narita airport. We head quickly to the type involved in the shipment and storage deliver the heavy burdens that accompany us from Italy.
take the train on time and of course with some decrease, reaching Shibuya district of Tokyo where the young pavement is not visible due to the amount of contempt for the crowd.
We enter into a case of huge buildings and skyscrapers covered with bright lights and TV acting as a huge shopping malls and reached the ninth floor, the restaurants, there 'will be spoiled for choice: Italian, Japanese, specialized the fried (tempura), the ramen, etc. .. Choose the one that produces only soba dishes, a sort of spaghetti under cold water and passed soaked, but that 'our job, in a watery substance soy taste slightly salty.
eat greedy with our sticks and go home with a stopover in two or three underground stations.
The town where we're headed is more located in Kanagawa Prefecture, Yokohama and Tokyo, which is how I remembered it: a quiet, full of shops and big car of any kind.
About the cars in this part of Japan if they are of all brands, even the Italian ones, even of FIAT, but strictly above the € 50,000. Even the guys you see them turn in Porsche and all anyway The Japanese seem to prefer the style Jeeponi Cayenne or their counterparts in Asia and always fitted with satellite navigation. The reason for this and I 'unknown but probably' to be reported in the Japanese love of things mechanical and technological robottoni see the cartoon, Mazinger in the first place.
In this tangle of streets and people do not hear anyone scream, honk or anything else that is not in any Italian city 'than the norm.
Yeah I remember when I was in Rome and I found myself with the mother of Kanako in the same taxi as the driver, absolutely unable to speak without shouting, it joined with people who did not even know shouting phrases in strict Roman how was this beautiful chick or the car they drive or anything else had the excuse of some dialect to howl Meo Pattaca "On the Road." "Aciiiiiiiiiii" cried the screanzato, I later discovered to be a dialectal variant style ciccio ah "or" beautify "and being a true Roman bulla over generations. I explained to Ms. Fujimoto
that these cases are rare and although we really believe I was denied again after the third or fourth taxi driver (even one of Florence) with whom I was dealing with. Rome has made me feel in a third world country but not the way to do that may be, if we want to find an excuse, also characteristic the area, but for the conditions of extreme hardship locate especially near the station (each station, but Italian is not a receptacle of thieves and gypsies) but also in any other way: North Africans, Romanians, Albanians, junkies and all that There 'more disgusting can be found in the slums of a "metropolis" decadent and rotten like Rome. I'm not saying to beat these people in a beautiful ferry in some subtropical prison enclosed by crocodiles and killer whales, but certainly there is' something wrong when one has to travel with one hand on the portfolio as well, and the other is not sufficient to protect from this scum.
It 'possible that if you go to some other country civil, can not find this scum? It 'possible that in these countries, stations, airports, crowded public place, not in the hands of these people? It 'possible that the streets are clean, not because there are those who clean, but because people are not dirty? It 'possible that there are the usual smart you pass from the right, you are put in front when you're in the queue (of machines or people)? It
and 'possible and we Italians are in this situation because only our, our way of being: go to Naples and see the people throwing the dirt out of the window in Naples because the inside of your home and' a covered of holy (holy covered San Gennaro & C), neat and clean, but outside, who cares, not 'their stuff, but the State must clean.
In Naples, the Japanese do not make them get off the bus but the visit as a safari with the windows tightly closed. And I imagine as the Neapolitans to raise rice to see these groups of Japanese locked in their bunkers, while not aware, the Neapolitans, to be zebra, gazelle and antelope.
The blame for this tragic situation can be found in Italian history, reading how the disaster and 'pulled forward over the last thousand years now. Of course, the guilt and 'also of the politicians, gang of mobsters, that amongst all there is not' one, not even on the horizon, capable of being a Zapatero, that is' not a saint, but one that does what it says before being elected and he does and pursues it as a duty, not as a pleasure to be eaten between us and the other
However
and I rambled and I'm sorry, but after all this, and 'a diary and I write what comes to mind.
Returning to the main line, we finally reach the home and between greetings, exchanges of gifts and bows Kanako and I go out to go to buy a cell phone.
I die from sleep, while the officer politely explains the endless range of mobile phones and many times the risk of them falling asleep in front of her, however, between a brick "I Mode" ultra-equipped and a fair radiotelephone clamshell camera for the price of 3150 yen (24 €, in Italy there is the smell in that figure) I choose the latter. I note with irony that, apparently, has not yet arrived here in Japan, but the Bluetooth to share data should still use the archaic infrared. It may not come because there would be such a mess of links to be unable to send a picture in the middle of the jungle and there are already signs that there would be.
Whatever the truth as I see the bullies sister Kanako cursing because the two phones are not well aligned and therefore does not pass the signal, which in Italy are much more advanced. I
This brings to mind when years ago in Tunisia guide told us, proud that his country was at the forefront of medicine as the bus passed, strictly with the windows closed, not too safe areas.

finished the day with a nice Japanese dinner around the table made from exquisite sashimi (raw fish) and other delicacies that I can not describe to you at the time.

Goodnight everyone.

The fourth floor of the building

thinkers are divided into two schools and those who know each other.
-Gino Zappa

***************************

I get up at 8 and after breakfast with coffee and a fruit that reminds me of melapera, are preparing to go see his sister Kanako Today's competitions of gymnastics with the school. She is 15 years old and a kind of high school for nurses to whom I did not understand the name. In Japan, all high schools last 3 years and the sport and 'considered a very important matter.
As I look at the evidence of the boys I start to think, for a change, to the Italian situation of the school: a tragedy. There are so many good examples to be taken but governments are bent on making "reforms" that have only a different name or catchy slogans such as false as the school of the three i. The high school in 3 years I find it a good thing, we unnecessarily harsh in more than two years: Whereas it takes to make the universe, the more the argument (there is something more appropriate) the more "fantastic" CoCoCo, more apprenticeships, we can begin a graduate to have a decent job and if in 30 years' lucky. If you have had the courage to choose medicine then we talk about 40 years, I believe that then the doctors even though they are always hungry for money overpaid.
In Japan, people are graduating at age 21 if they graduate and find good work now in important positions, being relatively quiet for a lifetime.
Coming back to the school and sport: beginning of the year each child chooses his practice in the after-school sports.
Each school lasts from 9 to 15, has a uniform and there is' the prohibition of dyeing their hair or wear makeup: it kills the individuality focusing on the community, the strength of the group rather than the individual, but out of school and not working when people dress, the makeup, is painted in the worst ways: some really outlandish, others stylish, other metalheads, but most As is normal as in Italy, except for the boots, especially young women, put them above all else. Each student and
'also avid supporter of his school which has a team known more for each sport (including judo and karate) and a flag that represents it.
fact, there is a regional and even national tournament between the schools and you can win prizes as well as substantial scholarships to major universities (with the difference that in Japan an athlete must, a fortiori, also cultivate his mental qualities) Kanako
won some tournaments race remaining unbeaten for several years in a minimum reached in the 100 meters, his name and 'still etched into a slab to' entered his school with its time. In our two hours per week of physical education are used to review for a practice match or a football at best.
However after a good half hour trains and subways come to the sports hall that the school year book for this event: and 'huge, nine floors of most of them contain a large hall the size of three basketball camps.
the 4th floor the whole school uniform class needs to do a trial of exercise that are more fun than an exercise in itself: the track with obstacles of every kind (military stuff) and make a ping pong ball on a spoon without dropping it, etc..
Nao, the name of his sister, in after-school football practice and then 'a racing, and running fast from what I saw. His team 'came first and not' was a surprise in the family. Nao
Considering that in that school and 'a freshman, that' the first year, and for me it 'was.

After a couple of hours I go with Kanako shopping in a neighborhood near shopping malls full of (what a surprise) but I find nothing interesting to me except a dvd of karate kid but that does not include: DVDs in Japan cost a lot more than here. Kanako
you buy a skirt and we go to the restaurant for dinner.
I eat my tempura and even today the day and 'over.

In the heart of Tokyo's two photos of this beautiful park.

must eat to live, not live to eat.
-Socrates

*************************************** ****
Today I was at the restaurant where she works Kanako's brother, Key. She works in an elegant French restaurant but not too much. The menu 'consists of lunch and dinner B respectively 1500 and 2000 yen (10 and 15eu approximately). We chose the lunch that allows you the choice of an appetizer plate a "central" and dessert. Dishes are very accurate but, as the infamous nouvelle teaches, very small quantities, mild flavor, pleasant, but not much. After three or four sandwiches with butter (the only thing that kept the door once finished) I feel much better. Key
is my age and worked for a couple of years in this restaurant which is located about forty minutes by train / metro from the house. His day starts at six, have breakfast, prepared in suits (even the most menial provides for "uniform") and goes to the restaurant where he stayed until midnight. A house falls into each. Even has a day off on Sundays is considered lucky because usually on Sundays and 'the day when there is' more work, and instead he is sitting at rest.
It seems that these rhythms are normal in Japan. I do not know how much and 'paid but I hope so.

After lunch we walk a bit between webs of streets and buildings and turning a corner as if by magic we find ourselves in another era: a forest with its temples and lakes. We walk in the peace of the wind rustling through the leaves, but the city reminds us that this place 'there, by hammering away with its noise and its buildings in the background beyond the trees, touching the sky their peaks of cement.
arrive in the area of \u200b\u200bthe temple in which, by paying 500 yen (about 3 €), you can leave a tag of wood with writing your desire or anything you've wanted to write. So many people have hung signs in their proper containers and scrolling with the look of me understand the writing (mostly British ones but there were also two or three in Italian) which are all known only wishes. In any religion or any custom (who said the fountain or well) there is' always the classic wish come true with a little sacrifice (often money is always in favor of those with practice, we earn). Reading all the wishes of the people I realize how similar people are even thousands of miles away: health, money, happiness. No one has written
nothing different, just like, only requests, only hopes.
I believe that man can never realize their desires because desires are like cheese in the mouse. The mouse manages to get brave and lucky to its cheese but then what? Once eaten, and not 'at the beginning of a new search to find a new cheese.
And so the man. Will always have a desire to achieve and will never be satisfied. It can not be otherwise his life would be pointless and would ultimately commit suicide. A man without desire, without a goal can not be a happy man and so it 'a contradiction. What 'your desire? What 'your target? Follow only the instinct or have a clear plan to achieve it?
ask questions and 'important. Fatevele.
Looking at these signs so I wonder, why not write something different instead of the usual required, the usual hopes on deaf ears.
So I guess a good sign hanging that says: NO WISH (no desire), or a nice DEiTY NO, NO PRIEST, NO TRASH MONEY (no god, no priest, no money down), or I am the architect of MY WISH, phrases like that, different from the crowd.
These cards are taken each year and burned in a way, by tradition, that their ashes to be able to reach the deity so fulfill the wishes of us lowly mortals (insegnamogli to use the emails that you before) ... we hope that you burn.

The inclination to trade, barter, exchange one thing to another is common to all men and is not found in any other race of animals. -Adam Smith

******************
We woke up pretty late and we had lunch in a restaurant close to home really delicious: 5 square meters will be great and kitchen and 'as a storage room where the owner / chef cooking the food and then waiting tables (5 in all over the counter that will be 7 other places I think).
ventilate the room where the food is classical music that eliminates any stress on an LCD screen and slide images of sunny beaches and heavenly warm tropical waters.
home, relaxing atmosphere.
The owner, a tall standard for Japanese cuisine all by yourself and make some of the dishes that are a mix of all cuisines in the world: for example, I got the chicken and noodles were in the same dish, chicken crispy fried and soy sauce and mayonnaise. Really good, too good spaghetti.
I wonder why in Italy someone can not do such a thing, a quiet, small and exquisite in which the costs are small but not more revenue dopottutto. Perhaps because here the gain is based on the arc and not the day from 12:30 to 14:00 and from 19:30 to 22:00 hours in Italy where there is' full house while in Japan, remaining open, they have moments when I am very busy (even those clearly in the hours here and there 's all good in the rooms full, but being open all day this is noted otherwise). We would see Francis
well in such a place. Sure and 'a difficult choice ...
Since Kanako's parents know the owner and she has already' worked here In the past, asking if she can still work as a waitress here (besides, there is no room for another cook) and he accepts. From Thursday to 18 up to 23 will work in this small, quiet little place half an hour from home (on foot, by car 3 minutes, but nobody uses it here: you prefer to use their legs or public transportation). The
Kanako pay should be about € 10 per hour. Japan
In any job, even cleaning toilets in shopping centers, is paid up to € 10 per hour. We believe that 's all clean (in fact there is' little to clean, people are not dirty, as I explained in previous post).

Another thing I noticed ' that for every job there are lots of employees, more than necessary. For example for every car there are three (sometimes four) guys out with all accessories (sticks, gloves, uniforms) each with a different function: the first ringranzia and invites you to enter the second directs the hand to the parking lot, the third directs the hand to the empty seat, or in a building / house / road under construction, there are people in every corner of the neighborhood for hours indicate the presence of ongoing work and often obviously do not have to do is go up and Down the road until you pass someone and then they can give the best.
late last night began riasfalatare Azamino a highway (the town where we are) and when this morning I rehearsed for that was the whole street was riasfalatata (type 2 km) in a few hours at night and took a job in Italy it takes five days by blocking traffic at any time.
Surplus And I see this in everything.
Counting this and who are paid much more than here, Kanako ask how much tax you pay in Japan because we have these "waste" does not exist. He replies that are high but does not know for sure.
Now I wonder if it depends only on the Italian mentality, the quality of work that is provided. If everything in Italy there were 5 employees in more than paid twice maybe things would be different from us. But where did the Japanese take the money to pay all these people? I think that here there is less corruption as well as a sense of duty towards those who commit any type of work, in the sense that the Italian businessman wants to earn as much as possible and takes fewer people as possible by giving as little as possible. So in my pocket finds himself having spent a little more but providing a worse service (but he earns, the other who cares, I think).
In Japan even if you do a job or humble you are the last wheel of the cart you get paid very well (and let's not forget that here the cost of living 'like ours and no less. Example: I saw the rents of houses, leaving from 300 € to 600 ones with 3 bedrooms kitchen + bath), you have better conditions and depending on where you work a number of options which allow you to save on everything (drugs, transport, etc.).
This means that in Japan there is no need to strike (has no knowledge of things) because entrepreneurs do not only think about their own personal gain but to a community growing.
What they say in the short and secular theories of Adam Smith? What if the worker earns more than his wealth will be redistributed and eventually entrepreneurs earn more money.
But when he said these things? Centuries ago, when there were still slaves and workers were not paid nearly this person (but in fact there was already a form of movement of enlightenment, but I digress even if this ends up writing a book) began to think and say that perhaps if a worker to pay him more in the top pocket of the owner is less in the long run the workman will buy more and will create more demand = more profits for entrepreneurs.
In Japan I do not know if they know Adam Smith but, generally, follow these maxims.
In Italy they are all underpaid, all work in squalid conditions (as in performing a job for two or five similar cases) and it 'clear that in the end everything worked badly. I
in Italy I have the nokia 6210, six years ago and worked for 3 and a half in a wholesaler that sells phones. Why I did not buy the new phone? If the Lords
Developers would pay more, perhaps I would have liked to spend to buy a new phone every 3 months, if everyone did so in the end would be a huge gain for the Italian industry of mobile phones (and all others).
But this does not happen because maybe Adam Smith and 'was stopped at customs.
