My little trip to Japan.

Hi, steemers

My trip started from the most western point of Russia, in Kaliningrad. By car, we went to Latvia, Riga. From Riga I flew to Helsinki and from Helsinki flight to Tokyo.

In total, it took 20 hours.

In Tokyo I arrived at nine o'clock in the morning, the road from the airport took an hour. On arrival at the hotel I found out that the check in is only at three o'clock in the afternoon ...

I realized that it is impossible to agree with the hotel on arrival. Since then began my journey to Tokyo.

I lived in the heart of Tokyo, not far from the most famous area of Ginza. Room was on the 35th floor.

Tokyo was a very clean city and this despite the fact that it lived 14 million people and on the street are not garbage cans ... They were not at all.

In the city there are no available plots of land and the distance between the buildings no more than one meter.

It was very surprising that in the taxi door opens itself and closes itself too .. taxis in Tokyo is quite expensive 750 yen for the first two kilometers. Moreover, if you have passed only the first two kilometers and the counter only 750 yen, you should apologize to the driver for the fact that you use taxi for so little time. Do not leave the driver a tip, as in Japan is not customary to leave a tip either in the restaurant or in a taxi. They will follow you and say that you forgot the money.

Some facts about Japan (my personal opinion)

- Japan is very expensive country to live

- In Japan, a big problem between male and female relationships (men very much humiliated women, even strangers)

- In Japan, real food cult

- In Japan, there are almost no people unemployed. all find a job: jockey, cop, janitor, etc.

- In Japan it is not accepted to eat on the street.

- Many wearing masks face. in most just hide your face, and do not show emotion. not all of them are afraid to get sick.

- The Japanese drink a lot of alcohol.

- The effectiveness of the work in Japan is not very good, because people are just sitting at work, note the hours of operation and do everything very slow (not all companies, but it is common

- People read the Comex in old Age.

- The Japanese are very reckless and spend many evenings in the casino

I apologize for my English. I hope someone will like my first post. ready to answer questions about Japan. I will help with all I can.
