The JAPAN
It's
a very interesting country, Japanese people are very hospitable
even if they don’t speak English,
That make sometime some
funny situation.
La West
side of the island ( Kyoto, Kanasawa……)
You can see a traditional Japan .
There are a lot of temples
et gardens, very pleasant and restful.
A Tokyo,
are totally different Japan.
A lot of people and you loose all
your markers.
After few days of adaptation you start to enjoy
the pleasure offer by the city.
If you like shopping, go
to it, it’s crazy….
TO
MOVE
To move, the most
simple and the cheaper are the subway,
there 2 types of line
(1 subway, 1 city train), like the subway in Paris. If you stay
many days,
it’s better to buy a prepayed card (1000, 2000,
3000 Yen) to don’t ask
every time the price of the ticket,
because the price are different at every stations.(You can use
this card only in the subway)
For the other type of
line(city train) you need an another card,
but this one are
not free, after you bought it you must put money on it. This card
are interesting if you stay a long time.
That can seems to be
difficult, but it’s very easy.
If you take the wrong way,
don’t worry you can pay the difference when you go out of the
station.
You must keep your ticket because you need it to
go out of the station.

RESTAURANTS

the sauces and a small conveyor belt with a lot of small

restful.

THE
PACHINKO
|
|
This game than you can find in every
street, and very noisy are a money game (a kind of slot
machine).
Functioning : First, put money in the
machine, that give you some steel ball.
To win you must
send the ball in the center of the game,
|
that’s give more ball. To send the
ball in the center,
there are in your right an half ball,
when you turn it you change the flow of the balls. When you find
the good flow, don’t move.
If you win, push the button on
your left to put a part of the ball in the basket below the
machine.
More you win ball, more you win money.
I don’t
know if every pachinko work at the same way, but in my case,
The
number of ball give me some points for gift and some points for
money.
