Japan [Theme] Page 2

You need to stop the historical ping-pong on these territories.

The Japanese believe that to maintain harmony is more important than to prove the correctness or to obtain benefits.

The Japanese joke that colleagues should be viewed as a relatives of his wife: like them or not - do they not go anywhere. And again destined to be in one team the entire working life, we must not forget that to spoil relations with a man is easier than to establish them.

... In your country [Japan] has it all. Your countrymen are so curious that the man would not have interested, he will always find someone to share my passion.

We focused on talking about the weather. And it was right, because climate is an ideal theme for those who have nothing to talk about with each other. Besides, in Japan it is the main and compulsory subject of conversation. To meet someone and not to discuss the weather borders on antisocial behaviour.

Wandering the streets, I thought: here it, a unique dignity that distinguishes the Japanese, here it manifests itself in the most amazing ways. Nothing, absolutely nothing, suggests that it is a city-Martyr. In any other country from such an unimaginable nightmare for sure would have sucked all dividends possible. Capital, acquired on the tragedy, the wealth of many States were absent in Hiroshima.

In our country, from the point of view of foreigners, there are a lot, but unfortunately, most of these obscure things are hard to explain. At least, I can't explain them.

And the feeling is, if you don't drink the juice, and customs duty levied by the Japanese government...

Following the motto "everything has its place", the Japanese from time immemorial accustomed to divide women into three categories: home, for procreation - the wife; for the soul - geisha with her education; and finally to the flesh - the oiran, whose role since the ban on open prostitution took on the girls from bars and cabarets.

Even many Japanese jokes now that to invite a geisha so stupid as to order champagne at the bar. Drunk he won't, but will make it clear to the guest that is ready for him at any costs.

I ran away from home because I wanted to Japan.

For Japanese life is like a piece of silk, and is important, not the length of the piece and its quality. No matter when you die in twenty, thirty or seventy years, if only for your life, there is not a spot, not Shcherbinka.

In the psychiatric hospital St. Anne is a Department for patients with a diagnosis called "Paris sekigun" - "Paris syndrome". Every year hundreds of Japanese people, disillusioned with Paris, depressed, and even paranoid. Their hospitalityat, treated and sent home.
