The essay seeks to achieve the absence of pain, not the pleasure
-Aristotle
Japan is not a paradise nor a perfect place first because these places do not exist (but there 'there are those who swear in another life) that it has its problems and its shortcomings.
Describing my experience in Japan I can not help but compare what is wrong in our country with what I see here. I could do the opposite, of course, but in that case I would be biased and conceited. If I was in between the Borneo headhunters, after ensuring that the mine is not edible, I would do the same with regard to their ability to embalming than our own. I think this is natural to describe the experience based on what amazes me more and is often the case that what stands out to me eye here is the fact that things generally work better. It 'something that comes naturally, for example, when you take the train and you wonder who is on time and not invaded by ticks. It is natural to many times I assure you. Italy
My criticism is not a form of contempt on the other hand are a reflection on what's missing in our country. There are also special
known as time passes and I do not like Japan's worthy of being reported separately and this is the purpose of today's post.
The fact that in every store you wish to enter (or even simply looking at the window) there are many jobs that scream "Ishaimaseen" (welcome) with a chant worthy of a Buddhist temple that when you go out and contend with a "gozaimastaa-arigatou" (thank you) sung this well, it's quite ridiculous: there are some contracts that I began to set in secret that are not even more the case if there is a customer or not, they sing the two words every five or six seconds, rhythmically, swaying his head in a bit of respect for anything. In ten hours will tell you a thousand times. I imagine their dreams made of bells that echo endlessly thanks and welcome. In banks there is' a light sensor that activates a robot with speakers / welcome, but we can see that you prefer to shop for the person in the flesh. Terrible.
Japan is not a very cosmopolitan country so often that someone fixed the street or on the train. Not with bad look (which I have not seen in any case since I came here) but as if I were studying, and immediately avert your eyes if they see that I see them. Moreover suppose that the same thing happen if a Japanese goes to Ponsacco or any place where there is a lot of people used to seeing foreigners. If an Italian is in France and writes on the Italian front, I think the reaction would be far worse. However, when I wear dark glasses, the percentage of people watching me fall considerably and I am more at ease. However, there is one thing that particularly bother me, after all, not many people look at me.
I do not like the water is almost impossible to find a drink: in Japan all have tea, various concoctions, anything except plain water. At the restaurant or bar they give you than tap water with a bit of ice (at least for free) and also at home there are no bottles. If you really want to drink water I buy at the supermarket or vending machines that are scattered every hundred yards (but thirty drinks often exposed to the water there 'and when it' costs a lot).
I do not like people to smoke in public places. In Italy, only recently has become the just law of the smoking ban in public places here, but, strangely, still there '. Ironically it is forbidden
smoke outside on the street because there 'a lot of people and if a smoker is likely to burn someone, nothing is said about the greatest damage to the lungs. In smaller restaurants or pubs that do not have a smoke, is torture.
I do not like that people work themselves to death even though, as I mentioned in a previous post conditions are definitely better than here.
I find it absurd for a remote parking area there are four people in uniform, paid by those who do not know, that help the cars to park. Always better than the Neapolitan abusive, but four seems a bit too much.
Looking more closely at the TV I noticed that the majority of programs are recorded and that people participating in the quiz are for the most famous actors that lend themselves to the party. I find this quite ridiculous. Moreover, now the magicians are all the rage on TV on different channels then there are a host of magicians with their craziest tricks and it is unclear whether the game will never be "real" or be altered to off camera.
Sports programs and advertisements are a lot of sports "part of" give this example, yesterday played the Japanese national women's volleyball against the Polish, I saw much of the game and end Japan loses. Then in all sports programs or advertising showed almost all the sessions in which Japan was or did lead somewhere. If I had not seen the match I could have sworn that Japan had won. Maybe it's done on purpose so that people began to look more often like a game of volleyball or think it's because you are a Japanese people like to be very nationalistic victorious even though they are not. However, not always the case: I looked somewhere else and the fact you are not repeated.
often happens that the school history books disappear particularly embarrassing as the massacres of the Second World War, the bloody pre-invasion war etc., this is because the textbooks are totally managed by the government. Even as the rest of us the same thing happens, not to promote the Italian race, but religion and the Christian fascists. After a century there is again necessary to study God's creation rather than evolution in Darwin's and Mussolini as a great statesman.
PS: From Monday to Wednesday I will be in Kyoto so that if I try do it by phone.
