Japan is not only a dynamically developing successful country that occupies one of the leading positions in the world arena, but also a state with centuries-old values and great wisdom. The way of life of the Japanese, of course, has changed, but traditions have been preserved.
Instructions
Step 1
The Japanese wake up early in the morning to have time to get to their work, since the bulk of the country's inhabitants live in their own houses, which are located in the suburbs. The Japanese get to the city by train, inside cities they travel by metro or bicycle.
Step 2
The Japanese house is very specific, it differs in many respects from the European ones, primarily in its construction. A Japanese traditional house is a distinctive structure that reflects Japanese wisdom and uniqueness. It is just a canopy over an empty space. You can leave such a house from any side, since it lacks the doors to which Europeans are accustomed. Everything inside is neat, spacious, there are no decorations. Of course, such buildings can only be found outside of megacities, but in villages they are very common.
Step 3
Modern reality has forced the construction of light and high houses in cities - there is not much land in the island state. A city house, despite the exterior urbanism, usually retains the traditional division into the living quarters and the living quarters, has no thresholds, and instead of doors, it has paper or glass sliding partitions. The design is minimalistic, the furniture is only necessary. It is almost impossible to meet carpets in Japan, but there is a robot vacuum cleaner even in the poorest dwelling.
Step 4
Japan is famous for its cuisine. The passion of the Japanese for rice-based dishes is known throughout the world. All residents of this small, but so distinctive country have lunch at noon. At this time, the city streets are filled with a large number of people who go to have lunch in some cafe or restaurant.
Step 5
The working day lasts 12 or 14 hours, breaks and smoke breaks are strictly regulated. Every minute is recorded. After a working day, or on their weekend, the Japanese can visit some cultural and entertainment center, sit in a cafe and drink the famous Japanese tea, prepared in accordance with Japanese tea tradition.
Step 6
The Japanese do not have vacations in their usual sense of the word, they have to rest from 5 to 10 days, depending on the type of activity. Employers in every possible way encourage their subordinates to travel outside the cities, sometimes even pay for international tours, believing that good rest affects the quality of work.
Step 7
The city dwellers are especially fond of walks in the city at night, since at this time Japan is lit with thousands of lights.
Step 8
It is difficult to call the Japanese a friendly nation, they are very warlike towards external enemies, but inside they still live in large clans based on nepotism and subordination. Ancient piety for elders and unquestioning obedience to their will are not subject to any trends of our time.
Step 9
What, perhaps, modern Japan has lost is the most beautiful and deep culture of geisha. Of course, today, even in Tokyo, you can find girls and women who call themselves geishas and really master the skill of beautiful companions, but they certainly cannot be compared with those descriptions of geishas that have preserved treatises.
