I have lived in Nagasaki, Japan for 5 weeks. With me, Japan
is a place where there are many strange and new things that make me feel interested
in. Here are the things I discovered in Japan recently.
1. Japanese are VERY POLITE and ENTHUSIASTIC
They always let you pass when walking, say “Sumimasen” for apologies and “Arigato” for thank in any situation. The
first day to Nagasaki I asked a girl Japanese to go to Nagasaki university, she
forgot and ran round to find someone to help me. I was really grateful and embarrassed
when she said “Sumimasen” to me, although she was being busy for something. I feel very satisfied with their service attitude
at the shops, they usually say “Arigato gozaimasu” and treat such a
special respect to each customer.
Japanese is very enthusiastic
2. Traffic
Almost I’ve never seen traffic jam in Nagasaki. In
Japan traffic sticks to the left , everything happens in order that pedestrians are given top priority, followed
by bicycles, motorbikes and cars. Walking and cycling are encouraged in the
move because it is not only good for health but also for protecting the
environment. It’s great, if you own a bike and discover yourself anywhere in
the Nagasaki.

3. All of the JIDO - HANBAIKI (vending machines)
These machines are in every corner of the street! Inside
factories and outside gates of private homes. There is a warm or cold beverage
option. It’s so convenient .

4. Food
One of attractions of Japan is the food. You will not care
about the quality because it is always good in Japan. Sushi and Sashimi are two favorite
foods. It is really a good choice for those who like fresh seafood like me.

Japan is really an ideal place for living and studying. There are still many interesting things waiting for us in the future. I will tell you more about Japan next time. Now, enjoy it…
