I am really a language teacher

Chapter 146: Ueno Asakusa

After everyone finished their breakfast, they packed up their luggage a little and prepared to start today's journey.Because the Sun family didn’t come for shopping and tourism, there was only one backpack that contained some necessary items that everyone might need, and Guo Yi and Sun Ping took turns to carry them; in addition, Sun Tao’s kid also had a small book to pack his supplies.Now Sun Tao has a strong sense of autonomy, and he must take his own things by himself, so Aunt Guo simply prepared a bag for Sun Tao.

Now everyone's backpacks are temporarily carried by Guo Yi, and Guo Yi's face is tender, and Guo Yi's clothing has always been in the style of Japanese and beautiful boys.So when Guo Yi appeared on the Yamanote Ring Road, Sun Ping felt that he and the Japanese high school students looked quite compatible.

Since Japan's wireless network coverage is far greater than that of Cathay, Sun Ping actually replaced his tablet with a new network card when they arrived in Japan.And their data flow card is very kind, after the 4g flow in the agreement is used up, it will automatically switch to 3g for you to continue to use for free.The only flaw is that the speed will be limited after switching to the 3g network.However, after 24 o'clock that night, the traffic limit will be cleared, and the 4G network will still be used the next day.So everyone relies on this 4G network to book air tickets and check maps.

Because it was winter, the air conditioner in the subway was still very warm, and a small detail made Sun Ping admire the service consciousness of the Japanese.Japanese subways not only have ladies-only seats (to prevent subway idiots), but also are divided into strong air-conditioned cars and weak air-conditioned cars.If you can't accept the air conditioner that is too warm, you can choose a car with weak air conditioner.

According to Sun Ping's experience, the cabin with weak air conditioning is basically equivalent to the domestic level; while the temperature in the cabin with strong air conditioning is directly raised to above 25c, and the button must be unbuttoned after wearing a down jacket.

In fact, like domestic subways, Japan’s subways don’t have the so-called “spiritedness” at all.Everyone is stern in the car, or listening to music with headphones, or reading novels on their mobile phones, or reading the latest comic book, or simply relaxing.Of course, there are also those who catch up on sleep in the car during the commute to work.

After everyone gets off Ueno Station on the Yamanote Ring Line, then take the Ginza Line to Sensoji Temple.If it is the earth plane, this Ginza line is the first subway line in Asia.Only in the water blue star plane, the first subway line in Asia and even in the world is Donghai Line [-] from Donghai Port in Donghai City to Donghai Coach Station.Today, Donghai Line Zero is still in use, but the former Donghai Port and Donghai Long-distance Station are no longer in the old locations, so Donghai Line Zero is more of a tourist route for people to visit.

After coming up from Sensoji Station on the Ginza Line, less than 200 meters away is the symbol of Tokyo - Kaminarimon.Because of this, it is not only a popular tourist attraction in Tokyo, but also one of several famous business districts in Tokyo.Most of the streets in Japan are not spacious enough, so when you arrive near Kaminarimon, you feel like you are going to a temple fair.Fortunately, the quality of the local area is not bad, everyone queued up and was able to swim Kaminarimon.

There are many places to buy souvenirs near Leimen, and Sun Ping is very interested in the scary name Ningyoyaki.It turned out that the so-called Ningyoyaki is a local earthen dessert, which is to make food such as sweet cakes into the appearance of the local Seven Lucky Gods.Fortunately, the Japanese diet is quite light, and their sweets are also sweet but not greasy.So Sun Ping bought two boxes of Ningyoyaki from the Seven Lucky Gods as snacks, and stuffed them into his backpack.Sun Tao originally liked sweets, but after eating a piece of Ningyoyaki, he felt that it was not sweet enough.

Behind Kaminarimon is the Omotesando of Sensoji Temple. Originally, according to Japanese customs, Omotesando should be silent, but here is a noisy business district.After reading the travel brochure, I realized that Sensoji Temple was rebuilt, so the Omotesando here is not the real Omotesando of Sensoji Temple, but the Omotesando of the old Sensoji Temple.It's just that everyone is used to it, so they didn't change their words.

When they arrived at the torii (temple gate) of Sensoji Temple, Sun Ping suddenly felt that the noise of the city was far away from them.Walking on the real path, Sun Ping really felt like he was practicing.The tranquility of the world and the beauty of nature merged into one, and Sun Ping felt a sense of harmony between man and nature.However, in Sun Ping's opinion, the scale of Sensoji Temple is really not as good as domestic temples, but compared with domestic temples, Sensoji Temple is more peaceful, and it really feels like a place where gods and Buddhas live.

When we arrived at Sensoji Temple, some people naturally became interested in the God Shou.To put it bluntly, Yushou is an amulet after praying for blessings, and Shenzha is an enhanced version of Yushou.Generally, there are only fragments of scriptures in the omori, which are nothing more than sex karma for homework or avoiding disasters; while Shenzha omamori are whole scriptures, which are usually enshrined in the shrine at home.

However, after Sun Ping asked the local service personnel, he learned that there are rules for buying regular omamori.Usually every New Year's day, please come to the temple to ask for guards. Of course, if it is a temporary need to avoid disasters, you can ask for it at any time.At the end of the year, you have to go to the monastery where you asked the guardian to return the guardian and give alms at the same time, which is regarded as gratitude to the gods and Buddhas.In fact, it is similar to making a wish in China, but it feels a bit strange to go to Japan again just for the sake of an omamori.

And please pay attention to the relationship between gods and Buddhas, if the relationship between two gods and Buddhas is not good, and you invite their respective guardians at the same time, it will be unlucky.After Sun Ping told about this custom, everyone's interest in Yushou disappeared immediately.

After leaving Sensoji Temple, everyone returned to Sensoji Station, and then returned to Ueno Station on the Ginza Line.From Ueno Station is the famous Ueno Park in winter.It’s just that Sun Ping and others came at an inappropriate time. If it’s the cherry blossom season, then Ueno Park is one of the most famous cherry blossom viewing places in Tokyo.

Originally, the symbol of Ueno Park should be the sculpture of Takamori Saigo, a reform figure of Japan’s Meiji Restoration. With the encouragement of this figure, how many people with lofty ideals in China on the earth plane ran to get rid of the fate of subjugation in the late Qing Dynasty.It's just that the Aurora Kingdom of Shuilanxing didn't have this experience, so the Japanese Peace Prayer Monument was erected in the sculpture place that originally belonged to Takamori Saigo.Japan in this time and space is a hard-working country, so hard that even Sun Ping feels a little sympathetic.

Since there was no dividend after World War I and World War II, Japan's economy has always been at the level of a second-tier country.At the same time, due to the strength of Cathay in Asia, Japan also put away its competitive mentality and began to look east.Under the economic radiation of Cathay, although Japan has become one of the industrial chains of Cathay, it has also escaped the real estate bubble economy.In Sun Ping's view, although Japan does not have such a strong economic strength, everyone's life happiness index should still be quite high.

Because Ueno Park is full of bare branches, everyone went straight to the Tokyo National Museum.On the way, you have to pass through Qingshui Kannon Hall, which is another temple.Unlike Sensoji Temple, most of the prayers at Kiyomizu Kannondo are students.However, considering that the graduation ceremony in Japan is in the spring, Sun Ping guessed it was due to seasonality.

However, students in Japan are much harder than students in Aurora. Japan and Aurora are the only countries in Asia that implement a 12-year compulsory education system.Even if you are an orphan, the state has to pay for you to finish high school.The test for entering a university from high school is the most important thing for Japanese students and parents. After all, the number of top universities in Japan and the number of universities in general are not as large as those in Aurora.If the college entrance examination in Cathay is to have thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge, then Japan is to have thousands of troops to squeeze a steel wire.

The Japanese college entrance examination is divided into two parts. The first college entrance examination is called a qualification test and is held in January of each year.This test is for everyone's basic subjects, and only after passing this test can we proceed to the next entry test.All national and public universities in Japan and most private universities accept a unified test such as the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan.Students who pass the first test and are qualified can take the entrance examination to their favorite university, but each person can only take the entrance examination of two universities.

The university entrance examination is the responsibility of each university itself, and the questions are mostly comprehensive tests.However, what school to take for the second exam, in fact, the results of the first exam are almost stipulated.For example, at a top university like the University of Tokyo, students with full marks in the qualification test have a half chance of being rejected in the entry test; if it is the Crown Professional Medical Department of the University of Tokyo, the probability of being rejected is as high as [-]% to [-]%.Of course, if it is an ordinary first-tier university, the probability of passing the full score is still more than [-]%.

After Sun Ping lamented the education in Aurora and Japan, he was taken by Aunt Guo and others to carry out a series of cultural edification in the National Museum, National Museum of Western Art and Tokyo Bunka Kaikan.After finally coming out of the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, it was already dinner time.As one of the authentic delicacies in Tokyo, Sun Ping and others will not miss it.

And near the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan is the most famous shop of Tokyo Unagi Rice - Izu Sakae Main Store.This is an old store with a history of only 300 years, so there are still many customers who come here for its name.After waiting for about ten minutes, it was finally Sun Ping's family.In addition to the signature Edo eel rice, this shop also has other eel-based meals such as eel sashimi set meals.

Several adults chose eel rice, while Sun Tao’s child ordered eel sashimi set.Perhaps because of the habit of receiving foreigners, Izu Sakae does not use traditional tatami mats like other old Japanese stores.Otherwise, let alone Westerners, even Asians like Sun Ping can't kneel like this.Izu Sakae dug a hole under the table like many local Japanese food stores in Cathay, so everyone can happily sit on the tatami and enjoy the food.

Because Sun Tao promised to go to Disneyland the next day, everyone took the subway back to the hotel after eating.Since Disneyland needs a full day's travel, everyone went to bed early.It's just that Sun Ping chose pajamas, and Guo Yi also changed into pajamas.Sun Ping was a little embarrassed, but Guo Yi didn't say anything.But after turning off the lights, Sun Ping suddenly ran into Guo Yi's quilt and hugged Guo Yi in his arms.

Guo Yi was not happy at first, but Sun Ping whispered in his ear, "Don't make trouble, I want to hug you to sleep."

Guo Yi didn't resist anymore, but was tightly embraced by Sun Ping.Sun Ping's calm breathing sounded in his ears, he felt that tonight seemed to be very good.
