This city really has the power to alienate them. The spaces are reduced to a minimum, the time is eternally frantic. Have dinner becomes something to be done in the shortest possible time swallowing what is in front of him without ever looking up from the plate.
The city is a shapeless swarm of people, which winds between the massive street lighting, as in - a few - streets lit only by light of a few lanterns. It 'like being inside a giant anthill, where everyone is thrown together in search of their destination, the flow apparently seems random, but you feel that there is a design collective beyond appearance. As in an anthill, for the note.
Looking good the Japanese are very alone. In places like the subway, in restaurants as in pachinko, everyone will probably think about what to do next. It 's rare to see them turn down the street in pairs, or talk during the long trip underground. The metro in particular is the place for the nap - even standing - and those few who read manga do not sleep or spend hours hacking away at their mobile phones decaband-multifunctional-Extrapower, writing email, reading newspapers or watching movies. No wonder he had to put the anti-suicide barriers in the metro, since you threw like lemmings.
Indeed after a few days to observe this life also finds himself a Westerner to make their own gestures, almost without thinking: bow your head when you say "thanks" line up on the left side of the escalator to move people that invariably in a hurry, walking in the right line of the road. I do not know whether it is an unconscious impulse or is it a problem of induced conformation.
As for the heading " The strange habits of our Japanese friends " we can see that:
- and 'no smoking on the street and outside, except in very few scattered for Smoking Areas city, but in public places (indoors) there is no ban, so all in fun sfumacchiano although there are old people and children at the next table
- E 'extremely rude to blow your nose, but do not spit or to sgracchiare land-style players, and stop before one nostril then the other
- The Japanese men seem to have extreme care of their hair, but the results are always more than painful. For this there are teased hair, Japan
- The Japanese however, are terrified by the sun, so that many of them leave home, dress more in the middle of winter, with lots of gloves to above the elbow, umbrellas laced (even though the weather is cloudy), or gaudy goggles worthy of the most daring welder Pakistani
- Never ask for information to a Japanese: you could wait for hours, while with one hand indicates the map, with another name a friend giving directions to get himself and another (?) search on the internet the way on Google Earth (all because they can not say that one does not know what you stracazzo).
the next episode!
