trip to Japan
1
that some Chinese people do not like Japanese, some Chinese people like Japan. Like it or not, one thing is certain. Chinese people have a special interest in Japan. Since there are interested, or may wish to look at it and then decided to like it or not.
because I clearly know that, although many Chinese people are very interested in Japan, but Japan and the Japanese do poorly understood. And a majority of Japanese did not even talk face to face in heaven. The vast majority of information about Japan in the rub of the emotional and practical after the change is very different.
The purpose of this article I write is hoping to introduce to you a real Japan. From all aspects of the country in this nation. Of course, many of which would certainly have included my own comments. But these comments just sake of discussion only. Since I think the Chinese people to understand than most Japanese to understand Japanese.
and most importantly, my girlfriend is studying Japanese in Beijing, speaks fluent Chinese, has a deep understanding of China. I also went to Japan recently conducted a 18-day visit (tourist), during which Japan has carefully observed all aspects.
photos and description of:
way I
Kyoto philosophy and, I believe that my childhood in the United States, Western now studying in the UK can help me from the background comparative point of East and West better acquainted with the country now.
So if you regard the Japanese as a friend, put me as your guide, preview, Japan; If, as the Japanese enemy, then you put me as a spy, to know ourselves.
Chapter stylish Japanese
1. If the expensive beauty
said the pictures taken in Japan, the opposite is probably the most fail this one, and used to look photographed in the street when others did not feel so difficult.
biggest regret in this candid: that shot back to this woman. I wonder why do such a beauty shop is still here to do.
first is thick skinned enough. Making people face in front of people, afraid of being found, but fortunately was a little thicker skinned anyhow.
videotaping was discovered ......
The second is the one to go too fast. Because my equipment is not very good (Canon S50, take a picture of a very long time to focus, and the dynamic function poorly) so many times coming towards a worthy film, and just ready, people already and I pass by. Even if captured, the effect is difficult to be satisfactory. Effect of the photo shoot out and I truly see a huge difference. But basically all have the characteristics of Japanese style are covered inside. Finally it is a little reference.
fact, most of the Chinese people have great misunderstanding of Japanese Style, Style is the kind that the Japanese sense of beauty and deliberately ignoring differences to Mix & Match, If so, then to a big mistake to special wrong.
like this, very few people wearing grotesque:
If I use a word to summarize Japanese Style, that is, time to look completely silly. (For one person may not be so, because my own personal sense of style is fun) Called on the street wearing a sportsman is decent, and beautiful, and very many people have their own characteristics, and is based on aesthetic foundation.
special attention to the Japanese dress T.P.O. Is the Time, Place, Occasion. (Time, place, occasion). What to wear any clothes, kids do not experience outside.
you are fit to wear the clothes, unlike the collapse of the British destroyed so loosely. Especially the Japanese woman, too beautiful. I think they have seen many beautiful women, but when it came here before I really found a frog. Luckily, my girlfriend knows I'm just interested in style, if not for her understanding, there is no me these candid photos.
This is the Harajuku subway station exit Shiseido ad.
Dior's staff, very stylish. Unfortunately, only caught the back. But close attention to see the fine cut of his clothes in the UK is almost no such clothing.
this style should be considered one of the mainstream style of Japanese women, but unfortunately very poor shot.
course, this is shocking beauty is expensive.
in the UK before I went to Japan attended a presentation in Japan Seminar, speakers said at the time that 76% of women in Japan have at least one LV thing. Later, the result of the Internet to find information is.
1. 2005 share of the global luxury market, Japan 41%,
monster beats, U.S. 17%, 16% of all European countries, China 12%.
(data source, the British authoritative data companies named Ernst & Young China: The New Lap of Luxury in the investigation report. Address

2. 20-year-old girl in Tokyo, 92% had LV, 92% with Gucci, 58% with Prada, 52% with Chanel, 44% owned Christian Dior.

casually walk in the street, will be able to understand the meaning of these statistics.
not only looks stylish men and women who, without a lot of the back of the pack superior Japanese are very outstanding. The ordinary man, if you spend so much money to buy a package, then you should order and superior to and different from others. But in Japan, you spend so much money to buy things on the streets everywhere ...... it was bought, what is the point? Do the same for others it?
Osaka Namba subway station next to the LV store. Look like a supermarket?
if they do not tell you that this bag is the Hermes of how much money you will find it?
my girlfriend had a Hermes bag, almost two hundred thousand yen (1,000 pounds combined, 14,000 yuan) (1 pound = 200 yen = 14 RMB) results I saw in the street, everywhere are ......
is this package:
course is definitely more than they spend money in the bag, but brand-name clothes and shoes are not the same bag easy to identify it. But look at them clothes, cut the ribbon to understand the texture and the price is not Fiji.
do not think the Japanese super-rich, the Japanese money is good. But not necessarily stronger than in Europe. The wages of ordinary workers is 800 per hour (4 pounds, 64 RMB) to 1,000 yen (5 pounds, 70 RMB) Japanese yen range is also slightly lower than the UK. And that is a good company and then graduate to find work after the formal wage is not particularly high, which is generally the first year of three million yen (15,000 pounds, 210,000 yuan), with little more than four million (20,000 pounds, 280,000 yuan). In the UK after graduation as long as there is little formal work of twenty thousand pounds. And our first-year law student trainee generally 30,000 (600 million yen, 420,000 yuan). Moreover, famous in Japan than in Europe generally expensive (see national consumption tax). Therefore, most young Japanese people to buy brand-name is absolutely not easy. So they ask how the most famous enthusiasm.
To this question I have asked many people. Peach said they buy but also to superior brand (bought new), but the answer does not make me happy anyway, after you buy a new soon will be filling the streets. Or another Japanese friends before I give my answer I feel more deeply. ---- Because the Japanese for their own lack of confidence. If I have confidence in their own words are not to rely on brands to enhance their charm. And no self-confidence is a direct product of vanity.
and from their choice of brand is more to see out of this. LV maximum first known, and the strong mark, a look to understand. Second Gucci, but also because of strong signs. The third Hermes, because the most expensive. (This ranking is my own sense of observation.) In fact, this is not surprising, in each country are basically the first LV, Gucci second. LV, but I see his brand to be more than the much more. Not only is the package, the car is the same, the most popular imported cars Mercedes-Benz, and other brands of the same grade (Audi, BMW, Jag,) Mercedes-Benz may not add up to much. (I am also particularly interested in the car, a car after the album.)
fact, more than the Japanese, Asians have this in common as we Chinese people. Just an ordinary work of Japanese students playing a month to sell a LV bag; an ordinary Chinese student playing a month with a fine imitation of the work can not afford.
I started very strange, so developed in Japan, is the world's leading advanced countries, and why the Japanese would not confidence?
said, according to a peach, Japan is affected by Chinese traditional culture, and every Japanese knows that the traditional culture of Japan came from China (including their spirit of Bushido!) and the Japanese traditional culture retained much better than in China. So most of the Japanese all have the virtue of modesty, but often by-products is the lack of modest self-confidence. So basically no more Japanese than the Chinese self-confidence. Peaches very envious of the Chinese self-confidence. . . . . . . . And that gives me ridiculous.
fact I do not agree with her, truly confident person is certainly modest. Conversely, this sentence is not right. In general the Japanese although no self-confidence, but it is really modest. The elaborate on later,
monster beats by dre, and now that more to the topic.
I feel the Chinese people how much self-confidence than the Japanese. Westerners really confident. In my opinion this with the difference between Eastern and Western education has a direct relationship.
are all the real source of self-confidence. This is the same all over the world.Is nothing more than good looks ugly; have no money; school is good when the results; to work out when the job is not good; at most, plus a little talent, but must also be the mainstream, such as men's soccer , basketball, girls piano, dance and more. Therefore, we have to look at several Mody, Mody fierce competitors, but also to a few outstanding people do? If this is the case, a child, The.
but not the same in the West. I was a child went to school in the United States, they left me in this regard was impressed. Not your performance, can also be a good sport; bad basketball, ice hockey can also be good; sports and grades are not good, many friends also. . . Anyway, you just have expertise in which teachers and parents to focus on your strengths to this point to be encouraged and nurtured. I think most people can always find some place better than others their own right. And, for those acts of self-confidence against another school is prohibited. I remember one time after the exam finished I asked a classmate of his scores. It seems to us that something is normal, right? He said to me you know something? He said, Many of my Japanese friends say that Japan should be the world's most smug country. In fact, this sentence is my girlfriend's words. Not only to their own smug, however, can be said that Japan's From food to architecture, what are Of course this is not the contents of this chapter.
mad pursuit of the Japanese brands and their strong economy that also created a plethora of Japanese brand-name shops and magnificent. The first few days in Japan, teach me and peaches in an upscale business district of Kobe, when saw a four-story about three LV store, I feel great (at least for the Beijing World Trade Center than it is now double the LV flagship store) .
Kobe shop. Enough of it!
But a peach that la / ju / ku) to really know - seven or eight stories high LV. It is said that Ginza is greater than this. Moreover, in the same street, a giant next to a brand-name stores, really magnificent.
and Harajuku stores compared to Kobe shop is really nothing:
Emporio Armani
this may be the world's largest Dior shop , the opening time Paris Hilton, Beyonce all to join in such a heavyweight. In the evening when the store is like a huge crystal prism, the streets of Harajuku is definitely the most eye-catching places.
Polo Ralph Lauren
Polo signs of the origin.
I think this should also be regarded as the world's largest TODS.
remember I used to go to London Harrods (Harrods UK's most recognized high-end store, but like most Chinese people prefer to go to Selfridges & Co) very time that Harrods hanging, to Japan after the discovery , a random mall stronger than Harrods.
London Harrods
Daimaru Japan's chain stores everywhere, great history. This is one in Kobe.
a mall in Osaka, forgot to call what it is.
I was in Japan, a favorite shopping

more than 80% of Japanese girls are not compensated dating too hard ~ ~ but it is still relatively easy to make money, so we buy brand name it, out of the country, too, where massage What hospital are pure Japanese advertising everywhere sister
A: Communication is indeed a lot of assistance, and a lot of ways very convenient.
This is a phone. Call it which is one small room, each room has a telephone inside. Man to pay into it. Go do it? Waiting. Girls call in waiting. How do you know girls are here to go to call it?
in the street, someone sent this to the girls absorbing paper napkins or advertising. Map with only the yellow oil on the paper is the kind of advertising. If the girls want to earn extra money, and call this number. Received a phone call it will be a customer of the room. Then other things, on whether the phone it ...... but this is only the non-professional, professional massage career can go.
This is a page massage ads. In Japan there are many massage parlors. And welcome female students. In this work the daily massage at 3 million yen or more generally (150 pounds, 2100 RMB). Monthly salary of 800,000 yen (4,000 pounds, 54,000 RMB).
in Japan, but it is certainly not a glorious career,
monster beats by dr. dre, although Japan Open, but not in a laughing point where prostitution is poverty. So the girls do such a thing is although many in numbers. But to say that the ratio of 8% are not.
strong material desires, no money who are mostly girls or in their own work or to find ways to let her boyfriend as the primary means to buy their own.
two beautiful there as a result of
family in general, and about the international fall in love like me to spend enormous. So I had to special savings, especially in the clothing that the above non-necessities. So go buy a 2nd hand clothing store general. Even if only to buy new clothes but also the cheapest way H & M brand, and in general or just to buy discounted.
coat 7 pounds (98 RMB) was purchased from second-hand stores, vest 4 pounds (56 RMB) was purchased from second-hand stores, pants 150 yuan.
So this time, before I go to Japan with the intention of not shopping, so basically except for a maximum of 350 pounds (4,900 yuan, 70,000 yen) is basically a credit card than to not take any money. (I spend money in China, in Japan, she paid for. So this is food, shelter, transportation, spending money I did not play) but I'll regret it later to Japan, because it is something worth buying too much.
you can resist such a temptation? Tokyo Harajuku
a specialized shop to buy jeans. Sorry, the name did not remember ......
So I was sleeping for many years has finally been awakened desire to buy. And the reason to wake up my desire to buy one because there are three
really nice clothes. As the spending power of Japanese, and that strong desire for consumption, where it became the world's major battleground of the smaller brands. Peaches just like I said: In Italy you can find the latest and most all of Gucci, in France to find the latest and most all of the LV, in the UK can find the latest and most complete Burberry, but all most all brand new things you can be in the Japan found.
Emporio Armani

but, more importantly, because the Japanese like Slim clothes, buy clothes here,

Tommy here and Tommy not the same as the UK, where Levis Levis and British are not the same. . . . . . . . Basically, as long as what to Japan, it must in order to meet the high standards of the market for improvement. Of course, not the same with China. I feel really see what to buy anything.
Umeda in Osaka, a Tommy Hilfiger store, note the two sets of clothes and tailoring. Tommy usually only buy domestic leisure, simply does not sell Fashion's.
Yesterday I found the information on the Internet I also confirmed this view. their products in order to achieve the standards of Japanese consumers.)

as well as a large number of brands in Japan, clothes quite characteristic, and good texture. Very strange thing that I was in Japan for a visit so many places. Popular in Europe did not see the brand Evisu stores in Japan. And in the streets seem to have only met once. Then asked to know, the original of this brand is not so popular in Japan, in fact, think about it ...... not difficult to understand, there are so many individual choice. Why spend so much money to buy a less

the street inside the shop. In fact, the feeling here, a bit like Beijing Xidan Shopping Centre upstairs. . . . Not the same thing. Where to buy mostly local brands in Japan, or as a Puma, Kangol young people like this brand. But also occasionally to see Hermes and the like.
see someone asked this dress before, I was in this street to see. This good-looking than many. Was also tried, the effect is very good, very close the body. Unfortunately, that is too expensive for me. I remember it like more than thirty thousand yen. (150 pounds or more, over two thousand yuan)
money in Japan, just like a table of delicacies placed in front of hungry people, but because the hands and feet tied, and can only see the feeling can not eat no difference. Oh, yes, but also smell the aroma.
Well this second reason is that in Japan, my inspiration and ambition to be the sportsman street boys & girls were fully aroused.

Lu Xun in his early years studying in Japan, do not know what he said ism is not with the Japanese to learn. Ism, but the Japanese have a history.
Prince Shotoku from 1400 years ago, the Japan sent envoys to Sui 5 times to China to study advanced science and cultural knowledge, as far as my girlfriend said, even the Japanese samurai spirit that is now known Chinese Studies. The Meiji Emperor Meiji restoration of the spirit which takes to an extreme. I remember watching Last Samurai (The Last Samurai) when the lines of a particularly deep impression. Probably means Although the film, but it does reflect the objective was the Japanese team advanced natural sciences, social sciences, and engineering technology hungry. Known by the Chinese people once Ito Hirobumi UK early years learning advanced naval technology. That is, from that moment began to take off in Japan's national strength.
But I still think World War II Japan after the war illustrates this problem better. Many people know it on the U.S. post-war Japan fetish, like a loyalty to the United States in Asia, a pug. Xenophilia the words used to the Japanese who at that time No. But points. They are such a

There is no reason to boycott U.S. goods?

If Revival is invented by the Chinese, then Japanese people learn best by this point.
is only if only if only to study abroad, Japan will not be like this now. They are learning things, not copying anything. The nature and essence of the learned will be improved after adding their own elements, and thus become suitable for their own things, so has something for them to become what they are. This is from the top of their style on the performance thoroughly.
