Japanese Silence
The Japanese are extremely quiet and one of the things that catches their attention (andleast liked) when traveling to other countries, especially Spain and the U.S., is as high as itis spoken and how noisy is its people.
The taste for the silence takes you to the extent that in places such as subways or trains is prohibited to use mobile phone to call, making the Japanese set eyes on their screens to play or write messages.
Undoubtedly one of the great contrasts that are seen in Tokyo (and all over Japan) are the laws regarding snuff. While in some streets and parks is prohibited from smoking, there are places like restaurants where this measure does not apply. Even more surprising is to findsome cars for smokers in the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto.

Japanese people love to queue, especially respect them. It is not uncommon along the street or subway stop you and the person behind you will just wait for that progress. Find it hard to dodge obstacles.
Bars with cats and dogs hire
Although I love animals, the grueling work schedules and the houses are extremely smallthat many Japanese choose not to have pets. As everything has a solution to fill this gapmany turn to the bars with cats or dogs rentals.
If you want to do one of these activities typically Japanese, you must mentalizaros of having to pay a considerable sum in view of a Westerner. Odaiba rent a dog will cost 2,500 yenper hour. If you want the evening to be perfect, you can bring your dog to dinner at one of the restaurants with canine menu.

bathrooms
While traditional Japanese toilets are simply holes in the ground, modern toilets should attach a manual instrucciones.Tapas that rise alone, several jets for cleaning, dryingmachine, air freshener and music have become a standard. The modern bathrooms featurecard readers and even screens to enjoy your own music or viewing pictures.
Japanese Tramps
Something that has survived since the crisis in Japan of the 90 is the high number of homeless people roaming the streets and parks. At night ride "home" and the days have allpicked up and covered with a tarp to prevent rain.
Unlike other countries, Japanese homeless living on the street but do not beg, do not ask for money and are entirely peaceful. Many have cleaning supplies, bicycles, and even othermobile gadgets.

As a plant base is used in a nursery purchased material, recovered from the nature ortrees that come from cuttings, seeds are also used, but these are slow to become realtrees and the hobbyist can get tired and bored while waiting.
After a while we ourselves who we expand our collection, acquiring new or retrievingcopies of nature.
As fashion imposes its criteria, usually exposed Bonsai shops are within species, the beginner may think that all are indoor bonsais. Well there is no interior species, bonsai are trees and as such they all live outside in their places of origin. There is therefore nospecies living safely inside the house.

The sushi is a Japanese dish made from rice cooked rice seasoned with vinegar, sugar and salt. This dish is one of the most renowned of Japanese cuisine and one of the most popular internationally.
One could investigate the origin of sushi before the fourth century BC in Southeast Asia.The salted and fermented fish with rice, was an important source of protein. The cleaned and gutted fish are put into rice so that the natural fermentation of rice to help conservation.This type of sushi is called nare-zushi. He stayed for a couple of months in fermentation and then consumed only fish and rice was discarded.
Over time it spread throughout China and later, around the eighth century in the Heian period, was introduced in Japan. Since Japanese preferred to eat rice with fish, sushi, called seisei-zushi, became popular at the end of Muromachi period. This type of sushi was consumed while the fish was still partly raw and the rice had not lost its flavor. In this way, sushi became part of the culinary art rather than a way to preserve food.
Later in the Edo era, Japanese began making haya-zushi, which was created as a way of eating rice and fish, this dish was unique to Japanese culture. Instead of being only used for fermentation, rice was mixed with vinegar and combined not only with fish but also with various vegetables and canned foods. Today, every region of Japan still retains its own flavor using local produce and doing different types of sushi that have remained for generations.
At the beginning of the century-19th century, when Tokyo was still called Edo, the food industry was mainly dominated by mobile food stands where nigiri-zushi originated.Edomae which literally means "in front of Tokyo Bay," was where he got the fresh fish and tasty seaweed for the nigiri-zushi. As a result, also called Edomae-zushi, and was popular among the people in Edo after Yohei Hanaya, a creative sushi chef, who improved the sushi as a simple but delicious food. Then, after the Great Kanto earthquake in 1923, nigiri sushi spread throughout Japan with experienced Edomae-zushi chefs from Edo.
In the years seventy to eighty, when he awoke the health concerns and people began to realize the importance of food, sushi, one of the healthiest foods in the world, began their race to overcrowding. Today his demand in the world is enormous. In our country every day there is a greater awareness of its nutritional goodness, and its sophisticated aesthetic taste.
Are the characters used in China for over 3000 years. Are ideograms (diagrams or pictures that represent ideas) developed from pictograms and signs. For example the character for sun was a sun-shaped design and the tree-like branches of a tree. Theseideograms were mixed together to form other words. Thus, wood is the combination of two trees and a forest is a combination of 3 trees.
He says there are about 50,000 kanji combination of them form the Japanese language.However, as the Japanese are very practical decided they were too many kanji and normally not used them all, so officially designated 1945 as use kanji "diary". These are the kanji for themselves and are combined with each other everyday language in companies, government agencies, newspapers etc..
Most kanji introduced from China can be read in two ways: China-readable form or shape"on" and readable form or shape Japanese "kun".
