朝
通勤電車の中でいつも感心させれることがある。満員電車の中で新聞を読むジャパニーズ・サラリーマンだ。
部屋でできないのだから、満員電車の中でできるはずがない。
彼らもやはり最初は暇だったと言うので、少し安心。
One of the things that
impress me every
morning is the way Japanese people can read news papers in a fully
packed train.
They have this skill of neatly folding the
newspaper vertically, and reading one quarter of a page at a time.
I practiced it in my room, but I couldn’t do
it so well; doing it inside the packed train seems almost impossible.
I had lunch with quite a
few people today;
two of them were Japanese, one was Australian and another was half
Japanese and
half British.
They
gave me some good advice about work in general.
Everybody said they were bored in the first few weeks, which reassured
me.
The Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo abruptly resigned today.
