There are some things that peoplewho come toJapan to visit should be aware of. I have not read much mention of this anditmay be new to many ofyou.
Thatis, manyJapanese do notlike the smell ofperfume.On trains, in crowdedplaces, and in restaurants, the smell ofperfumeis considered very annoying. InJapan,itis considered good public manners towearperfumeonly tothe extent thatitisonly faintly fragrant or faintly scented.
Some peoplemay want to useperfume to controlbody odor. Even inJapan,body odoris an importantissue, especially during the hot and humidsummer months.
The singlemost important measure againstbody odor inJapanis to keep thebodyclean.Take a bathat leastonce a day, or twice if necessary. Thisis the norm inJapan, a country blessed with abundant water resources.
In addition,paper wet-sheets for wiping perspiration are sold everywhere, includingconvenience stores and pharmacies. They are a necessity duringJapan's dangeroussummers.
In short, the important thingis toget rid ofbody odor. Ifyoutry to coverit up with a stronger smellingperfume,youwill be dislikedby theJapanese.

Berlinnowhas some unisex toilets and unisex urinals, to be usedby both sexes. Urinals which can be used in a similar fashion (facing the wall)by both sexes are an essential part ofthe future unisex toilet facilities.
ベルリンには現在、男女共用のトイレと小便器が設置されている。男女ともに同じように（壁に向かって）使用できる小便器は、将来の男女共用トイレ設備に不可欠な要素である。

CONSIDERATIONSON REPRESENTATIVEGOVERNMENT
Chapter X—Of the Mode of Voting.
The pollingplaces should be so numerousas to be within easyreach of every voter, and no expenses of conveyance,at the cost of the candidate, should be tolerated underany pretext. The infirm, and theyonlyon medical certificate, should have the right of claiming suitable carriage conveyanceat the cost of thestate or of the locality. Hustings, poll clerks,and all the necessary machinery of elections, should beat the public charge. Notonly the candidate should not be required, he should not be permitted to incurany but a limited and trifling expense forhis election.Mr. Hare thinksit desirable that a sum of £50 should be required from everyonewhoplaceshisnameon the list of candidates, to prevent personswho have no chance of success, and no real intention ofattemptingit, from becoming candidates in wantonness or from merelove of notoriety, and perhaps carrying off a few votes which areneeded for the return ofmore seriousaspirants. Thereisone expense which a candidate orhis supporters can not help incurring, and whichit can hardly be expected that the public should defray for everyonewhomay choose to demandit—that of makinghis claims known to the electors,by advertisements, placards, and circulars. Forall necessary expenses of this kind the £50 proposedbyMr. Hare, ifallowed to be drawn upon for these purposes (it might bemade £100 if requisite), ought to be sufficient. If thefriends of the candidate choose togo to expense for committees and canvassing, there are no means of preventing them; but such expensesout of the candidates's ownpocket, orany expenses whateverbeyond the deposit of £50 (or £100), should beillegal and punishable. If there appearedany likelihood that opinion would refuse to conniveatfalsehood, a declarationonoath or honor should be required from every member,on takinghis seat, that he had not expended,nor would expend, money or money's worthbeyond the £50, directly or indirectly, for the purposes ofhis election; and if theassertion were proved to befalse or the pledge to have been broken, he should be liable to the penalties of perjury.Itis probable that those penalties,by showing that the Legislaturewas in earnest, would turn the course of opinion in the same direction, and would hinderit from regarding,ashas hitherto done, thismost serious crime againstsocietyas a venial peccadillo. Whenonce this effecthas been produced, thereneed beno doubt that the declarationonoath or honor would be considered binding. [6] "Opinion tolerates afalse disclaimeronly whenit already tolerates the thing disclaimed." Thisis notoriously thecase with regard to electoral corruption. Therehas never yet been, among political men,any real and seriousattempt to prevent bribery, because therehas been no realdesire that elections should not be costly. Their costlinessis an advantage to thosewho can affordthe expenseby excluding a multitude of competitors;and any thing, however noxious,is cherishedas having aconservative tendency, ifit limits theaccess toParliament to rich men. Thisis a rootedfeeling among our legislators of both political parties, andis almost theonlypointon whichI believe them to be reallyill-intentioned. They care comparativelylittlewho votes,as longas theyfeelassured that none but persons of their own class can be voted for. They know that they can relyon the fellow-feeling ofone of their class withanother, while the subservience of nouveaux enrichiswho are knockingat the door of the classis astill surer reliance; and thatnothing very hostile to the class interests orfeelings of the richneed be apprehended underthe most democratic suffrage,as longas democratic persons can be prevented frombeing elected toParliament. But, even from their ownpoint ofview, this balancing ofevilbyevil, instead of combininggood withgood,is a wretched policy. Theobject should be to bringtogether the best members of both classes, under such a tenureas shall induce them to layaside their class preferences, and pursue jointly thepath tracedby thecommon interest, instead ofallowing the classfeelings of the Many to have fullswing in the constituencies, subject to the impediment of having toact through persons imbuedwith the classfeelings of the Few.
一連の投稿をパッと見ただけでは「実はカタールの映像を用いたフェイクプロパガンダ」のような可能性まで連想したけど、これが本当にガザなら、同じような暮らしぶりの映像が他にもたくさんあるはずだろうから、自分で探してみようと思い立った。
TikTokには不慣れなのでYouTubeにはなってしまうんだけど、Gaza で検索しても戦争以外の動画は本当に少ない。検索結果を再生回数順に並べ替えたり、Gazavlog で検索したりした。
ガザの壁の内側の生活とはどんなものか (公式英語字幕あり =自動翻訳の日本語字幕に切り替えても精度が高い)
The New York Times - WhatLifeIsLikeon Gaza’s Side of the Fence | The Dispatch (5:08)
2018年の投稿だが、冒頭、まさに前掲のTogetterで紹介されていたような豊かな暮らしを思わせる高校の卒業式とダンスパーティー(!)の様子が紹介されている。ただし、「これはガザにあるアメリカンインターナショナルスクールで、ごく少数の特権階級の子どもたちだ。そんな彼らでさえ、今後の人生でガザから出られるかはわからない」として。
動画の後半は、イスラエルとの国境付近でのデモの様子。武器を用いない平和的なデモだと主張されているが、火炎瓶や手榴弾を投げる者もいて、イスラエル軍からの反撃でいつも負傷者が出るという。それがわかっているからデモ隊の後ろではあらかじめ救急車が待機しているというのが悲しい。
ガザで訪れるべき場所、5選 (自動生成英語字幕のみ =自動翻訳の日本語字幕も精度は低い)
2019年。トルコの公共放送による、ガザで訪れるべき場所ベスト5。港、大学、戦争墓地、金宝飾店街、高台の木からの展望。ガザの明るい側面。
このような大学には、特権階級の子どもたちが通うのだろう。(Wikipediaによればガザには4つの大学がある)
DW Documentary - Visiting Gaza Stripas aPalestinian |DW Documentary (25:56)
2019年。DWはドイツの公共放送。ドイツに帰化したガザ出身パレスチナ人のニダルが、営むカフェを売り渡してまでガザの家族を訪れようとするも、「二度とガザから出られなくなる」ことを恐れて入境をあきらめる話。
そもそも彼がガザから出られたのは、イスラエル軍からの砲撃で足を負傷したが、ガザでは手術できる環境にはなく、すぐにエルサレムの病院に送られたことがきっかけだった。
ガザで暮らす両親の家は質素に見えるものの、中流以上の階級にはあるのだろう。10人の兄妹のうち7人が大学を出ているが、全員無職だという。父も兄妹も英語を話せる。
この12日間にガザで何が起きたのか？ (公式日本語字幕あり)
Suhair [ كورية فلسطينية] - What happen in Gaza in12days ? | ايش حصل في بيتنا ؟ ليش ما بنرجع لكوريا ؟ (12:35)
ガザ出身パレスチナ人の父と韓国人の母を持つ、韓国籍の女子高校生のvlog。イスラムとアラビア語を学ぶために、小5の時から家族でガザに暮らしている。ここで取り上げた中では唯一の「現地在住YouTuber」と言える。しゃべりは韓国語で動画内字幕はアラビア語だが、YouTubeの字幕機能では自動生成ではない日本語も用意されている。(僕っ子になっているのがかわいい)
2021年、爆撃で初めて戦争を間近に体験した当時の投稿で、話している最中にも空爆の音が鳴り響いている。動画の後半、休戦が発効した深夜2時の街の歓喜の様子が印象的。(今回の戦争を受けての投稿は、インスタのストーリーに少しだけある)
小4まで韓国で暮らしていたこともあってか、ガラスが飛び散った家の様子を見ても、暮らしぶりはどちらかと言えば豊かな方に見える。(追記: 他の動画も見る限り、やや上流階級寄りという感じ。休日にママとおしゃれな海辺のリゾート風カフェで2人合わせて日本円換算1000円の軽食をとっている。日本なら場所代も含めて2人で3000円くらいしそう。てかそもそも本人が2022年に銀の盾を獲得するほどのYouTuberなので、それなりの収入があるはずだな)
VICE - Crime & Punishment in the Gaza Strip with Suroosh Alvi (33:41)
2007年にハマスがガザを統治するようになってから4年後の2011年の撮影。エジプトから入境して、ハマスの広報官へのインタビュー、警察や刑務所、不発弾の爆破などを取材しているが、途中途中の町並みなどで、庶民の暮らしぶりも垣間見える。
ハマスに反対する立場の(ファタハのほうがマシだという)女性活動家も登場していて、最後は取材陣と共にエジプトに逃れたかったようだが、検問で拒否されてしまった。
8bitNews 〈Jun Hori〉 - 【国際人道支援】封鎖が続くパレスチナ・ガザ地区でただひたすらに支援を続ける日本人 (19:11)
日本語。2017年。ガザの人々に、栄養や食事改善の知識を広める支援を続ける日本人女性。貧困地域の様子がわかる。
国連の学校も攻撃を受けたと語られているが、イスラエルの言い分としてはハマスは国連の学校にまで軍事施設を隠していた、ということなのだろうか。
現地ガイドと思われる男性が、ユダヤ人との共存を模索すべきだという平和的な考えを語っているのが救い。
TBSNEWS DIG PoweredbyJNN - 【LIVE】パレスチナ自治区ガザから生配信 #WORLDNOW (2021年5月26日) Livestream from Gaza (1:28:20)
日本語。2021年の生配信。記者らが泊まった高級ホテルから、市街地の一般的な庶民の暮らしぶり、病院、ビーチなど。そのほか、1時間半の配信なので、記者の肌感覚を通したガザの様子がよく伝わってくる。
イスラエルによる爆撃現場はこの映像に限らずたくさん見かけるが、どれひとつとして「ほら、がれきの下からこんな軍事設備が」といった報道を、イスラエル側からの主張も含めて、見かけない。この動画内でも「せめて根拠を示すべきだ」と語られている。百歩譲って諜報戦略上の秘密を漏らしたくないにしても、100回爆撃したなら1ヵ所くらいは広報用にアピールしたっていいのではないか。

dick for having this preconceivedideas

thisis probablythe most trickiestone
andit's the rules what are the rules
Japanhas somany rules andit's abit
conflicting for me to complain about

Japan not the best stuff but a lot of
the reasonswhyJapan works so wellis
because of the rulesyou know thetrains

The Sacrament—and the Sacrifice
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Ipray foryourfaith andprayers that my utteranceswill be received and understood “by theSpirit oftruth” and that myexpressionswill be given “by theSpirit oftruth” so that we mightall be “edified and rejoicetogether.” (See D&C 50:21–22.)
As I standheretoday—a wellman—words of gratitudeand acknowledgment ofdivine intervention are so very inadequate inexpressingthe feelings in mysoul.
Six months agoat theApril general conference, Iwas excused from speakingas Iwas convalescing from a serious operation.My lifehas been spared, and Inow have the pleasant opportunity of acknowledging the blessings,comfort, and readyaid of my Brethren in the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, and other wonderfulassociates andfriends towhom I owe so much andwho surrounded mydear wife,Ruby, and my familywith theirtime,attention, andprayers. For the inspireddoctors and thoughtful nurses Iexpress my deepest gratitude, and for the thoughtful letters and messages offaith andhope received frommanyplaces inthe world,manyexpressing, “You have been in ourprayers” or “We have beenasking ourHeavenly Father to spareyourlife.”Yourprayers andmine, thankfully, have beenanswered.
One unusual card caused me to ponder upon themajesty ofitall.Itis anoriginalpaintingbyArta Romney Ballif of theheavensat night withits myriadgoldenstars.Her caption,taken fromPsalms, reads:
“He healeth the broken inheart, and bindeth up their wounds.
“He telleth thenumber ofthe stars; he calleth themallby theirnames.
“…His understandingisinfinite.” (Ps. 147:1, 3–5.)
As I lay in the hospitalbed,I meditatedonall that had happened to me and studied the contemplativepaintingbyPresident Marion G. Romney’ssister and the lines fromPsalms: “He telleth thenumber ofthe stars; he calleth themallby theirnames.” Iwas then—andcontinue to be—awedby the goodness andmajesty of theCreator,who knows notonly thenames ofthe stars but knowsyourname and myname—each of usasHis sons and daughters.
“When I consider thyheavens, the work of thy fingers, themoon andthe stars, which thouhast ordained;
“Whatisman, that thouart mindful ofhim? …
“For thouhastmadehim alittle lower than theangels, andhast crownedhim withglory and honour.” (Ps. 8:3–5.)
To be rememberedis a wonderful thing.
Theevening of my health crisis, I knewsomething very serious had happened to me.Events happened so swiftly—thepain striking with suchintensity, mydearRuby phoning the doctor and our family, and Ion myknees leaningover the bathtub for support and somecomfort andhoped relief from thepain. Iwas pleading to myHeavenly Father to sparemy life a while longer to give me alittlemoretime to doHis work, ifitwasHiswill.
Whilestillpraying, I began to lose consciousness. Thesiren of the paramedic truckwas thelast that I remembered before unconsciousnessovertook me, which wouldlast for thenext severaldays.
The terriblepain and commotion of people ceased. Iwasnow in acalm,peaceful setting;allwas serene and quiet. Iwas conscious oftwo persons in thedistanceon a hillside,one standingon a higherlevel than the other. Detailed features were not discernible. The personon the higherlevelwas pointing tosomething I could not see.
I heard no voices butwas conscious ofbeing in a holy presenceand atmosphere. During the hours anddays that followed, therewas impressedagainand again upon my mind theeternalmission and exalted position of the Son ofMan. I witness toyou that Heis Jesus the Christ, the Son ofGod,Savior toall, Redeemer ofallmankind, Bestower ofinfinitelove, mercy, and forgiveness, theLight andLife ofthe world. I knew thistruth before—I hadnever doubtednor wondered. Butnow I knew, because of the impressions of theSpirit upon myheart andsoul, these divinetruths in amost unusual way.
Iwas shown a panoramicview ofHisearthly ministry:His baptism,His teaching,His healing the sick andlame, the mocktrial,His crucifixion,His resurrectionand ascension. There followed scenes ofHisearthly ministry to my mind inimpressive detail, confirming scriptural eyewitness accounts. Iwasbeing taught, and theeyes of my understanding were openedby the HolySpirit ofGod soas to beholdmany things.
The first scenewas of theSavior andHis Apostles in the upper chamberon theeve ofHis betrayal. Following the Passover supper, He instructed and prepared the sacrament of theLord’s Supper forHisdearestfriendsas a remembrance ofHis coming sacrifice.Itwas soimpressively portrayed to me—theoverwhelminglove of theSavior for each. I witnessedHis thoughtfulconcern for significant details—thewashing of the dusty feet of each Apostle,His breaking and blessing of the loaf of dark bread and blessing of thewine, thenHis dreadful disclosure thatone would betrayHim.
He explainedJudas’s departure and told the others of theevents soon totake place.
Then followed theSavior’s solemn discourse when He said to theEleven: “These things I have spoken untoyou, that in me ye might havepeace. Inthe world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I haveovercomethe world.” (John 16:33.)
OurSaviorprayed toHis Fatherand acknowledgedthe Fatherasthe source ofHisauthority andpower—even tothe extending ofeternallife toallwho are worthy.
Heprayed, “And thisislifeeternal, that they might know thee theonlytrueGod, and Jesus Christ,whom thouhast sent.”
Jesus then reverently added:
“I have glorified theeon theearth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
“Andnow, O Father, glorify thou mewith thine own selfwith theglory which I hadwith thee beforethe worldwas.” (John17:3–5.)
He pled notonly for the disciples calledout fromthe worldwho had beentrue to their testimony ofHim, “but for them also which shallbelieveon me through theirword.” (John17:20.)
When they had sung a hymn, Jesus and theEleven wentout to the Mount of Olives. There, in thegarden, in somemannerbeyond our comprehension, theSavior took uponHimself the burden of thesins ofmankind from Adam to the end ofthe world.His agony in thegarden,Luke tells us,was so intense “his sweatwasas … greatdrops ofbloodfalling … to the ground.” (Luke 22:44.) He suffered an agonyand a burdenthe like of which nohuman person would be able to bear. In that hour of anguish ourSaviorovercameallthe power of Satan.
The glorifiedLord revealed toJoseph Smith this admonition toallmankind:
“Therefore Icommandyou to repent …
“For … I,God, … suffered … forall, that they might not suffer if they would repent; …
“Which suffering caused myself,evenGod,the greatest ofall, to tremble because ofpain, and to bleedatevery pore, …
“Wherefore, Icommandyouagain to repent, lest I humbleyou with my almightypower; and thatyou confessyoursins, lestyou suffer these punishments.” (D&C 19:15–16, 18,20.)
During thosedays of unconsciousness Iwas given,by thegift andpower of the HolyGhost, amore perfect knowledge ofHismission. Iwas also given amore complete understanding of whatit means to exercise, inHisname, theauthority to unlock the mysteries of the kingdom ofheaven for the salvation ofallwho arefaithful. Mysoulwas taughtover andoveragain theevents of the betrayal, the mocktrial, the scourging of the flesh ofevenone of theGodhead. I witnessedHis struggling up the hill inHis weakened condition carrying thecross andHisbeing stretched uponitasit layon the ground, that the crude spikes could be driven with a mallet intoHis hands and wrists and feet to secureHisbodyasit hungon thecross for public display.
Crucifixion—the horrible andpainfuldeath which He suffered—was chosen from thebeginning.By that excruciatingdeath, He descended belowall things,asis recorded, that throughHis resurrection He wouldascend aboveall things. (See D&C 88:6.)
Jesus Christ died in the literalsense in which wewillall die.Hisbody lay in the tomb. The immortalspirit of Jesus, chosenas theSavior ofmankind, went to those myriads ofspiritswho had departed mortallife with varying degrees of righteousness toGod’slaws. He taught them the “glorious tidings of redemption from the bondage ofdeath, and of possible salvation, … [whichwas] part of [our]Savior’s foreappointed and unique service to thehuman family.” (James E. Talmage, Jesus the Christ,Salt Lake City: DeseretBook Co., 1977, p. 671.)
I cannotbegin to convey toyou thedeep impact that these scenes have confirmed upon mysoul. Isense theireternal meaning andrealize that “nothing in the entire plan of salvation compares inany way in importancewith thatmost transcendent ofallevents, theatoning sacrifice of ourLord.Itisthe most importantsingle thing thathasever occurred in the entirehistory of created things;itis therock foundation upon which the gospeland all other thingsrest,”ashas been declared. (Bruce R. McConkie, MormonDoctrine,Salt Lake City:Bookcraft, 1966, p. 60.)
Father Lehi taughthis son Jacob and ustoday:
“Wherefore, redemption cometh in and through the Holy Messiah; for heis full ofgrace andtruth.
“Behold, he offerethhimself a sacrifice forsin, toanswer theends of the law, untoall thosewho have a brokenheartand a contritespirit; and unto none else can theends of the law beanswered.
“Wherefore, how great the importance tomake these things known unto the inhabitants of theearth, that theymay know that thereis no flesh that can dwell in the presence ofGod, saveit be through the merits, and mercy, andgrace of the Holy Messiah,who layeth downhislife according to the flesh, andtakethitagainbythe power of theSpirit, that hemay bring to pass the resurrection of the dead,being the first that shouldrise.
“Wherefore, heis the firstfruits untoGod, inasmuchas he shallmake intercession forall the children of men; and they thatbelieve inhim shall be saved.” (2Ne. 2:6–9.)
Ourmost valuable worship experience in the sacrament meetingis the sacred ordinance of the sacrament, forit provides the opportunity tofocus our minds andhearts upon theSavior andHis sacrifice.
The ApostlePaul warned the earlySaintsagainst eating this bread and drinking thiscup of theLord unworthily. (See 1 Cor.11:27–30.)
OurSaviorHimself instructed theNephites, “Whoso eateth and drinketh my flesh andblood unworthily [brings] damnation tohissoul.” (3Ne. 18:29.)
Worthy partakers of the sacrament are inharmonywith theLord and put themselves under covenant withHim toalways rememberHis sacrifice for thesins ofthe world, totake upon them thename of Christ and toalways rememberHim, and to keepHiscommandments. TheSavior covenants that wewho do so shall haveHisspirit to be with us and that, iffaithful to the end, wemay inheriteternallife.
OurLord revealed toJoseph Smith that “thereis nogift greater than thegift of salvation,” which plan includes the ordinance of the sacramentas a continuous reminder of theSavior’satoning sacrifice. He gave instructions that “itis expedient that the church meettogether often to partake of bread andwine in the remembrance of theLord Jesus.” (D&C 6:13; D&C20:75.)
Immortality comes to usallas a freegiftby thegrace ofGodalone, without works of righteousness.Eternallife, however,is the reward for obedience to thelaws and ordinances ofHis gospel.
I testify toall ofyou that ourHeavenly Fatherdoesanswer our righteous pleadings. The added knowledge whichhas come to mehasmade a greatimpact uponmy life. Thegift of the HolyGhostis a priceless possession and opens the door to ourongoing knowledge ofGod andeternaljoy. Of this I bear witness, in the holyname of Jesus Christ, amen.
「A Yale Professor Suggested Mass Suicide for Old People inJapan. WhatDid He Mean? 」という記事がNY Timesに掲載された。
この記事を書いたNY Times東京支局長のMotoko Richはこれまでも日本についの批判をNYTimesを中心に発信してきた人である。以下例をあげる。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD53vyCxnc0
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/19/world/asia/tokyo-japan-coronavirus.html?smid=url-share
当時日本はコロナの初期の感染抑制に成功し、その後も世界的な比較では被害の規模は抑えてきた。
たいしてMotoko Richが例に出したアメリカでは感染は拡大し続けた
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/27/world/asia/japan-university-pageants.html?smid=url-share
アメリカにもミスコンは多数あるが「美人コンテストは西洋に根強く残っていますが、日本で違うのは、知的達成と職業生活の準備の原則を宣言する機関の学生グループによって後援されていることです.コンテストはまた、女性を厳格なジェンダーの役割に置くことが多い文化を永続させます.（Google翻訳による。原文はWhile beauty pageants persist in the West, whatis different inJapanis that they are sponsoredby student groupsat institutions that proclaimaugust principles of intellectual achievement and preparation for professionallife. The contests also perpetuate a culture that oftenplaces women in rigidgender roles.）」と日本のミスコンの特殊性について説明している。
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/16/world/asia/japan-yoshihide-suga-cabinet.html?smid=url-share
これ自体はそのとおりなのだろうが、当時のアメリカ政権がnepotism（身内びいき）の極みであるTrump政権であり、この媒体がTrumpのお膝元NYの地元紙であることを考えると趣深い。
ここまでNY Timesの記事を遡って調べているうちに、Motoko Rich氏の記事についてこちらのブログ（Japan Forward)が検証している事にきがついた
「NYTレポーターが日本を中傷する方法を探し回る（Google翻訳による）」原題 MYTHBUSTERS[Mythbusters]NYT Reporter Goes Round and Round Looking for Ways to DenigrateJapan)
この記事で著者のEarl氏はいくつかのMotoko氏の事実誤認や思い込み、偏見を指摘している。結論の一部を引用しておく
「NYT でアメリカの地域の不動産を取材した後、来日して以来、リッチは日本と日本人を中傷する記事を繰り返し書いてきました。これがリッチが日本人の半分であることと関係があるのか、日本人はアメリカ人よりも文化的に劣っていると彼女が本当に信じているのか、それとも彼女がNYT の編集者が出版したいものを書いて、その論文を読んでいる主に白人のエリートを安心させるために書いているのか、私には知る由もありません。（Google翻訳による）」
「正当化された批判は一つのことですが、日本人の後進性に関する偽りの主張は、西洋の優越性の概念を助長するだけであるため、まったく別のものです.（Google翻訳による）」

(In my mind) Celiahas completely surpassed Daso Edit
First ofall,Japanese-made goods arenow clearly marked with "Made in Japan" tags.
Thisis probably an improvementover the past year ortwo. Basedonuserfeedback, the companyhas been promotingJapanese products.
GoodJapanese-made kitchen tools account forhalf of the products.
Myfavorite Tupperwarehas been a best-seller formore than 5 years, and I have notchanged the designatall.
In other words, Iget theimpression that thisis asteady company thatdoes notchangeits best-selling productsatall, but improves themone millimeterat atime.
Even in 2022, many of DASO's products arestillmade in China, and thereislittlesense of progress.
When I visit the sales floor, theatmosphereis much the sameasitwas10 years ago.
Celia seems to begettingmore upscale every year. Without changing the price.
I want to supportplaces where I canfeel this kind of corporate effort.
Celiahas completely surpassed Dasoh in my opinion.
What areyou saying to a product that's 100yen apop? Areyou a poor person?
But infact, the quality ofJapanese-made Tupperware and chopsticksis so good thatyou would notbelieve they are 100yen.

This postis theat firsttime forAnonymous Diary.
At first, I wouldlike to introduce myself, Imove to overseas due to the ordering of my company about 2 years ago when my TOIECscoreis just 400, but Idon't knowitnow.
Probably, I almost grown up skill ofEnglish.
I forgot that thisis a diary,today, I went tolaundry shopvia thecarby mydrive.
After, I went to theJapanese restaurantand ate the Karaage-teishoku(thisis theJapanese-style fried chicken with steamed rice andmiso soup, Teisyoku meaningis a mealset,like a salad and soup formain dish.).Itwas verydelicious, Iwas sure thatit can be supplied inJapan.
And, I tried to the creditcard thatis newone, butitwas not working. This country's infrastructureis notgood then I assumed that thatis a cause, butI met same problem otherplaces then I think thiscard or my information have a cause, I went to the bank, butitis closed, I'm too late.
