TOKYO IMPRESSION
Prosperous, modern, clean, quiet, perfect, convenient, dedicated, friendly, high-quality, good environment, good public order.
Ordinary modern buildings in Japan, especially in many places outside Tokyo, have relics from the Tang Dynasty architecture and look more like China. All streets are very clean, much cleaner than our pedestrian streets. There is no or no phone on the subway, no one's headphones are turned on very loudly, and no one is speaking outside. The subway is not as crowded as Guangzhou. The entry of the subway in Japan is bidirectional. The same machine can enter and exit at the same time, and it is generally open and rarely closed. It has only one direction from Guangzhou, and it is not the same as entering or exiting. Subway ticket vending machines can automatically refund tickets. If the number of outbound tickets is not enough, you can go to the actuarial machine in the station to make up the money, or you can calculate the money first. The subway platform is older, but the station is very busy, and there are many restaurants in the station and the entrance gate. There are many lines and types of subways, as well as double-deck subways, which are mixed with other rail transit. You can transfer directly to express airport lines, but you need to buy tickets independently. Some subway transfers have to go out of the station, and some subway stations are very large. It feels that the area is no less than the airport. It may take more than one or two kilometers to transfer inside the station. The subway station is a huge commercial circle both inside and outside the gate. Unlike the Guangzhou subway, there are only occasional small convenience stores in the gate, and there is nothing on the platform. A quarter of the people on the subway are reading paper books, not comics, or entertainment books. Of course there was no spitting. No one plays music outside on the street or on campus.
No smoking is allowed outdoors, indoors, on the street, or on campus. There are special places for smoking. The Japanese do not speak and talk loudly, which seems to be a habit in all places-indoors and outdoors such as on the streets, subways, restaurants, etc. The cars on the street never honked their horns, and I have never heard any car honking the horn of any type. Even if you block his way, he will stop and wait for you to pass, but will not honk the horn. So Japan is prosperous but not noisy. Fatty is rarely seen.
People are more friendly and enthusiastic, and professional etiquette is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which makes people feel dedicated. Japan marked that cars should give way to pedestrians. The elevator station is on the left. It may be due to the relatively high level of overall technological design and production. I have not seen very earthy dresses on the street, and there is no feeling of copycats. There are not many repetitive clothes in the store, and the quality is good, and the quality is good. There are exaggerated and trendy dresses. On the whole, the people dress more appropriately, comfortably, and steadily, and the price is not higher than that of Guangzhou, and the quality is better. The consumption in Tokyo, Japan is lower than that in Hong Kong, and the hotel is much cheaper than Hong Kong or even twice as cheap. It seems that consumption in other Japanese cities is lower. Commercial foods are cost-effective and have good raw materials. The shelf life of food products is relatively short. Like other countries, books are more expensive. In general in Tokyo, it seems that older people, especially women, wear kimonos to go out of the street. Young people only see a few. It is estimated that there will be more in other places, such as Kyoto, and it will be more common in other times.
The most convenient stores are Family Mart and 7-eleven, and they are everywhere. McDonald's has to collect the dishes by itself and sort out the trash. Very few KFC and Pizza Hut. There are vending machines everywhere, including subway platforms. Japanese people have poor English, but English is common. Many Japanese like to wear masks, whether they are outdoors or indoors, as if they are alone. There are basically no fried dishes in Tokyo (maybe more than Yokohama). For example, Chinese cuisines such as Cantonese are basically noodles, seafood sashimi, cooked in one pot (don’t remember what it’s called), barbecues, and Japanese cafes. There are many small restaurants, cafes, and pubs. They are surprisingly numerous. They are all exquisite and clean. Some are ordered by automatic ordering machines, and there are no ordering and cashier staff. Did not see the big restaurant. The price of a rich set meal is around 40 to 60 RMB. I haven't seen Ajisen Ramen, I have seen Yoshinoya, sushi restaurants have but rare. There are many peculiar electronic products and smart devices in Japan, including of course mobile phones that I have never seen before.
