Random update + a bit about Japan

Sep 06, 2009 14:39

Long time no see! I haven't been updating 'cause I was on a vacation again. This year I visited Japan! It was great! It was rainy though >_> but saw FUJI!!! =DDD Anyway, I still have to rant a bit about Japan =P No offense! >.<

I'm really amazed by the fact that most of the Japanese don't know English. It doesn't matter how much you talk to them, they'll still respond in Japanese or Japanese-English. Shops/stores/malls, hotels, amusement parks etc. all Japanese... >_> Staff in Disneyland don't know English either!!!! O_o

I was in Tokyo Disneyland and I wanted a map in English, not in Japanese. So I went to ask one of the staff members for the map.

Me: Excuse me, where can I find the map in English?
*few seconds silence*
Staff: Err... err... map-pu?
Me: Yes...
*few seconds silence*
Staff: Err... English-su?
Me: Yes...
*few seconds silence*
Staff: Hmm... wait-to, wait-to
*She left and then returned with 3 maps*
Staff: Chinese-su, Japanese-su and... *points the third map*
Me: It's Korean... No map in English?
Staff: Gomennasai.
Me: Ok, thank you.

Then Japanese are crazy in their way xD They are willing to queue for 3-4hours for a 1,5mins roller-coaster ride and the fast-pass are kinda useless when people get their fast-passes at 9am. If you're lucky you'll get 1-3 fast-passes for 7pm-10pm. >_>

Next update might be after a really long time. I'll be really busy with school... and other stuff to solve >_>

japan, life, english, tokyo, random, disneyland
