Hitch-hike across Japan

Means at me was a little, and I have decided to travel a hitch-hike. Generally a hitch-hike for Japan – unusual means of transportation. But me has carried. I was helped by one Japanese from roadside cafe. It has thought up to write on the poster a hieroglyph designating city (destination). So I have passed on cities: Toyama, to the Father, Osaka. Nagoya, Tokyo, Niigata. In passing has subdued a volcano Fydzi-yama San the Dignity, height of 3776 meters.

Japanese unique people. It seemed to me, that instead of brains at them a computer, but in a breast the present human heart fights. Very cultural people. I even would tell, that Japanese – the most cultural people in the world. They handed me literally. Each driver who has taken me on "board", considered as the duty not only to take "hitch-hiking man" to destination, but also to feed at roadside restaurant, having moved down with throughway to bring up directly to station of change, and sometimes even to buy the ticket for the electric train if it is necessary to me. As a result for all trip on "the country of a rising sun" I have not spent yens.

Following item of my program was an ascention on the Fydzi-yama. There was a November – coldly, not a season for travel. At bottom the Fydzi-yama the Dignity set of wooden small houses. In them – mattresses, blankets. All small houses are opened. Has checked up each structure, it became interesting: really they do not lock them. It has appeared, that is not present. That the civilization means. Resembled, has chosen to itself "best", with a good kind, and such to not appear catch unawares any inspector. I then did not know, that any here can freely spend the night. I have lead in this dwelling two nights (before rise and when has already gone down). The ascention did not demand special skills in mountaneering though alone to climb up top it is forbidden, as well as on any point which height exceeds 3 thousand meters. But, the by itself, any sanction to receive would not be desirable. I wished to run simply by a post. I go quickly. I pass by security guards. They do round eyes. I have told, that I catch up with the group, type, have lagged behind them. But then up to me still anybody to pass was not in time. Well, I after bad questions of these security guards have simply given I tear up. To catch up with me they did not become.

At the top shortage of oxygen was felt. But the most dangerous at an ascention – breakages, taluses, moreover and a cold. But all has managed safely.

Now I recollect a trip across Japan, as something similar to an earthly paradise. Hospitality of Japanese simply amazes: I was feuded and even dressed. But all this anything in comparison with their politeness. Here it is necessary to tell some words about household Japanese traditions. At Japanese rich and complex culture of mutual relations. When the visitor it apologizes and bows on ten times that tears off from affairs of the owner of the house comes into the house and disturbs its presence. Can, the owner and does not have any affairs at present, but all the same so it is accepted. In families, certainly, these traditions are simplified.

That me has afflicted in Japan - an abundance of factories. Because of it many people have suffered. And not how in the Europe. In Japan it is easy to define the person who lived or worked in bad ecological conditions. I wish to tell, special medical examination is not required. All can be measured by eye. I met people whom it is simple ugly creatures, because of such ecology. Can be therefore, they so protect all the "green" sites of the country.

I imagined Japanese others. Any borrowed, thinking only about computers both not giving to time to the house and family. It has appeared, that inhabitants of "the country of a rising sun" – the people, caring family, the house, work, the nature, the country. They always have time for the visitor, and they can argue on any ordinary things, and not just about computer technologies. Though if will start to broadcast about technical progress – them to not stop any more.
