So my impressions about the trip to Japan. I was very impressed with what I saw and what I expected. On television about Japan is shown one thing, but in reality it is quite another! We believe that this is a country of high achievements and robots, but this can be seen only at exhibitions. In real life the Japanese do not use robots nor at homes, neither on the streets. I had visited the apartments of Japanese and was impressed by the modesty of their interior decoration. Moreover, I was very impressed by Tokyo architecture. I could not find a single house in traditional style. This may seem incredible, but is fact! Moreover, I visited one of the villages in 30 minutes by train from Tokyo – the same situation. No traditional architecture! No one will be surprised by a modern buildings. Of course, I visited their temples, a kind of Chinese churches, but much more modest. I was shocked. Maybe in other cities the situation is another. Most of all I was impressed by the Japanese. Of course they are very polite with tourists, especially if you ask them a question in Japanese. If you ask in English, they just dash aside. Saw an interesting thing. One of the employer wanted to the toilet. He choose the moment when nobody going to come. When he back one of the Japanese buyers screams, he could easily go to another cashier. So think what you want. Japan is a country of contrasts. I’ll write more my impressions, but later. Any way, – Go and see – worth it!
