Travel Prose of Japanese Travel Miscellanies

The Japanese travel miscellany I wrote last time was quite popular after it was posted, but when I posted it on Baidu's "Japanese Culture Bar", it was immediately deleted by a Japanese moderator, and I also wrote a comment to refute me. I am very dissatisfied with the words I quoted to despise them, saying that if your country is strong, they can't work harder. Some people say that we ate sour grapes. I think there must be a kind of sour grape energy in deleting posts, which gives me the courage to delete posts. Well, I'll leave him alone for the time being and continue to write some miscellaneous notes about my trip to Japan for your amusement.

The tour guide gave each of us a refund of 1000 yen when we visited Zhonghua Street in Yokohama that day, saying that we would find our favorite food by ourselves at noon. This Chinatown is usually a place where Japanese people from all over Japan come to buy China's specialties and taste China's special cuisine. Very lively. Now with the participation of China tourists, it is more Chinese.

At Zhonghua Street, there was a long queue in a shop. The tour guide said that the Japanese were buying meat buns from China, and they liked them very much. Meat buns are sweet and delicious. I immediately remembered the sweet Suzhou meat steamed stuffed bun I had eaten in Suzhou, and I felt that I had no appetite, but I fell in love with the Japanese.

In front of a sushi restaurant, my wife was too lazy to leave like a child, saying that she must go in and eat sushi.

I think so, too. Sushi is the most famous in Japan. According to Biography of Dongyi-Biography of Japan, Japanese people eat seafood, that is, sashimi (sashimi), which is wrapped in rice grains to form a fast food.

A Japanese woman greeted her as soon as she entered the shop. Hearing our accent, she took out a note written in Chinese from her bib bag: "Welcome, what would you like to drink, water or hot tea?" Do you want to check out together? " I didn't realize it at that time. There is a charge for drinking this cup of tea. I thought it was free in China. One thing you should remember is that drinking water means giving you a large glass of ice water. If you are not used to drinking ice water, don't.

When ordering, I swallowed the standard Hangzhou Mandarin I just said, and she couldn't understand it. Looking at the picture, I still gestured with my hand and ordered a plate of sushi with Japanese name 1 600 yen, which was also a bowl of sushi with 1 600 yen, and marked "Shangbeihai Well" in Chinese characters (I don't know if this statement is correct).

Seriously, I ate sushi in China. In my eyes, sushi is the first cold meal that ordinary people eat. I can't have gone to Yatang. I ate it once and never thought about it again. Today, let's try authentic Japanese sushi. How does it taste?

First, two cups of steaming green tea are served. When they drink tea, they first grind the tea leaves into powder, then rinse them with hot water and drink the tea powder together. This method is neither wasteful nor reasonable.

The staple food is two bowls of vegetarian salad, two bowls of seaweed and egg soup, and a sushi served on plates and bowls. There are four colors of sashimi, a prawn, a pinch of fresh roe, and something that is neither tofu nor cake. There is a cold rice head under everything.

Sashimi, roe and prawns can be served with vegetarian salad or Japanese soy sauce and mustard. Sashimi tastes a little sticky. When the fresh roe bites down, it feels like soaking in water, which is cold and cold. The tableware contained in the two staple foods is different, and the materials are almost the same. After eating, my heart can't warm up. In a word, I still feel like eating cold rice.

What impressed me the most was Lamian Noodles, a bowl of 1000 yen, equivalent to RMB 60 yuan. One bowl is seafood-flavored, and the other is slightly spicy broth. I can't say what's in it, but the soup is very strong and delicious, and it tastes really good. I like it.

On the trip, I ate a lot of cold food from Haagen-Dazs, including popsicles and ice cream. The price is much cheaper than that in China, and I have the illusion that I don't eat for free. When I went back to the hotel in the evening, I specially tasted the instant noodles bought in the supermarket. The price is around 200 yen, and the taste can be expressed in one word, fresh!

Talking about so much food is a bit unkind to readers, especially at four or five in the afternoon. Shut up.

Tell me about my son's favorite Japanese motorcycle. In big cities, it is rare to see people riding motorcycles. In rural and mountainous areas, you will be disturbed by the rumble of motorcycle engines from time to time. Generally speaking, they will form a team. Motorcycles are bigger and cyclists are smaller. They usually wear black suits and look like tough guys. Every time I pass by, I rush like a black whirlwind.

One day there was a traffic jam on the road. The road in Japan was very narrow and there was a long queue. There is a motorcade in front of our bus, which is also blocked there, but the opposite lane is clear. Originally, I thought that the advantage of riding motorcycles was that they were not afraid of traffic jams, but these motorcycle teams did not overtake from the opposite lane or shuttle across the road. Like cars, they lined up honestly. In my impression, people who ride large cross-country motorcycles have rough personalities and like to show off their personalities. It is natural to surpass the traffic jam, but they don't. Don't you think this is some kind of rule?

On the other hand, in a society, there are always unruly people. Although I'm not sure why, I saw two motorcycles, which were extremely fast and overtook us in the gap between vehicles like flying. It is rare to see such a fast car in Japan. Their speed limit seems to be 100 yards. I was curious, so I probed to see them, and then I heard a siren behind me. I saw a police car, flashing warning lights and pulling the alarm, chasing the two motorcycles in front. This is the fastest vehicle I have seen in Japan. I saw a police car at an exit ahead. I didn't see the motorcycle because of obstacles. The man who only saw a motorcycle costume was probably stopped by a police car.

Most Japanese people are short. During World War II, a pamphlet published by the US military on how to distinguish between China and Japan described the Japanese in this way, saying that those with legs on their chests were Japanese. I didn't understand the meaning of this statement at that time. When I arrived in Japan this time, I opened my eyes and saw something with legs on my chest, especially the older generation of Japanese. It's like my legs really grow on my chest. There are several beautiful women with slim figure and long legs in our group, and a group of Japanese female students are envious when they see them. They looked up and down, full of praise, until we walked away, no better than ignorant.

In Endure Wild Eight Seas, this is a Japanese farmhouse attraction, selling some local products, where you can freely taste delicious food. I put one hand behind my back and the other hand holds a toothpick. I have tasted all the food, including dried fish, beef jerky, dried bean curd, pickles, shredded squid and so on. Their enthusiasm, and it seems that it is a pity that you don't taste it. You taste the delicious food in your mouth and make a "mm-hmm" sound to express your praise. But their shelf life is very short, three days, five days and a week are all very long shelf life. After tasting so many delicious foods, my wife was embarrassed not to buy them. Later, she bought a sauce with a long shelf life, which was used to mix tofu and special pickled radish.

On the way back to Dayong Hotel, it was already dark and the tour guide was telling ghost stories all the way. Now that I think about it, she probably wants to scare us tourists. On this day, we lived in a place called Izu. Do you remember Yamaguchi Momoe's Izu Dancer? Here it is.

Our residence is in a remote luxury hot spring resort in Izu. It is an independent two-story single building, surrounded by valleys. The forest is dense, quiet and dark, and several scattered street lamps emit ghostly cold light. Your voice will be swallowed up by the night immediately, which is terrible.

When we opened the door of the guest room, wow, I was shocked. What a big room, Japanese and European luxury suites, as if seen in comics. My wife said, it's like coming to a fairy tale world. It's gloomy and terrible outside, but the room is full of warmth and romance. With curious eyes, she took small steps to explore every corner of the guest room. This is a bathroom, with three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a bathroom with dry and wet separation, at least one Happy and Fifty square meters, plus two balconies. Gas stoves, microwave ovens, refrigerators, ovens and gas water heaters are all available.

Some people can't enjoy such a luxurious room, all because of the ghost stories told by the tour guide. Three pairs of female tourists, in order to escape the imaginary devil, discussed and squeezed into a guest room. This tour guide is really harmful, and I think it's funny now!

That night, I guess, it was the most authentic Japanese cuisine in Japan. Upstairs in a small villa, the dining table was on the ground, and we all sat cross-legged on the floor, and a seafood dinner began.

Each person has an onion, a taro, a fish ball, a prawn, a meatball, a pile of pickles and mustard, a fried sea fish, a bowl of miso soup, two grapes, two lemons, two boiled edamame, two carrots, two white radishes, two cucumbers, three sashimi and a seafood casserole. Everyone has a lot of dishes in front of them. That casserole is made of paper and there is an alcohol stove under it. There are blue crabs, cockscomb crabs, sea shrimps, squid, Flammulina velutipes, some vegetarian dishes and half an egg. This paper casserole was burned by an alcohol stove, but it's ok. It looks delicious.

My wife was so happy that she imitated the Japanese waiter and said she was happy. I said you are happy. What are we doing here? We're here to trample. When my wife heard this, she said yes and asked them to serve us. We paid the price for it. Eat, we just eat.

In Japan, few people have leftovers. Respect for food means respect for themselves. The tour guide said that in Japanese restaurants, if there are leftovers from guests, the clerk will attach great importance to them and try to see if they are undercooked and broken.

One day I had a buffet in a restaurant, and there was a beautiful woman in the same group, leaving a lot of dishes. Another elderly tourist reminded her that the tour guide said they had no leftovers here. The beauty rolled her eyes and said, Who wants to eat so much? They should apologize to me. They want to taste it. That's terrible! You see, this reason is really leverage.

To tell the truth, everyone in the same group ate it, and there was no leftovers. Although the leftovers are not good enough, they are not as bad as the beauty said. After all, they are cauldrons. I don't know if it tastes good, just eat less first, and then choose according to your own taste. First, I took a lot, and the rest was embarrassing.

It is also this beautiful woman who often comes back late, and the tour guide and the driver are very entangled. But she didn't take it seriously herself. On the day of visiting Shinsaibashi, she was late again, and the whole car was waiting for her. Before getting off the bus, the tour guide said that if you are late again, don't wait and take a taxi back. As a result, the guide really let the driver drive away.

After returning to the hotel, it was getting late and I saw her back. She said cheerfully, I experienced all the means of transportation in Japan today, and I am very happy. Are you happy to see her?

The Japanese are much more polite and sweeter in this respect. They won't confront you face to face. They will always tell you that they are sorry for the trouble. This is a kind of polite culture in Japan, and it is difficult for people from other countries to learn it.

Give me a concrete example. One day in the hotel, the quilt was thick and heavy. Although it is down, it feels as stiff as straw and uncomfortable to cover. The next day, a man ran to the hotel to respond. After listening to this, the clerk bowed again and kept saying, I'm sorry for the trouble. The man felt very satisfied and went back to the car and told the whole car about it. The tour guide smiled and said, this is not your first suggestion. Many people say it's useless. They are playing Tai Chi with you. They said they were sorry for the trouble, not what you heard in Chinese. Don't take it too seriously. The translation is: okay, okay, stop it. Don't take the superficial pleasantries of the Japanese too seriously. Action is the criterion for testing truth.

Yes, China and Japan have just reached four principles. The Japanese Foreign Minister publicly stated that these four principles are not legally binding before the ink is dry and the voice is not falling. Not counting, saying one thing, doing another, reneging on one's word, this is the sinister nature of the Japanese. No wonder American President Roosevelt said: The Japanese are the most despicable people I have ever met. French President Charles de Gaulle also commented on the Japanese: Japan is a sinister and cruel nation. This nation is very snobbish, and the degree of madness and bloodthirsty is similar to that of Drakula, a vampire in medieval Europe. Once he sees it, his throat will be bitten off immediately, and there is no possibility of survival.

It is really commendable to travel to Japan and experience their etiquette culture, but we must not be confused by its appearance. What you see in front of him is a smiling face of Zhang Qianbei, and behind it is a devil's face.
