10 + 8 Regarding Japan's Uniqueness

1. In Japan, the number "4" and "9" is not liked, so there is often no room number "4" and "9". "4" is pronounced "shi" sound with the same meaning "dead", while "9" read "my", the same sound with the meaning "kurushii / miserable?. 


2. Japanese people like the number "8". The prices of most items ending in "8". Milk for example, 198 yen. But because the rule now requires that goods prices should include taxes included already, so maybe this habit will disappear. (Market = Yaoya = text reads kanjinya happyaku-yes or store 800). 


3. If the summer, the soap operas on TV often nampilin smelling things spooky (ghost). 


4. Detective drama on TV, sirens (kyukyusha) usually appears in the early minutes. At the end of the story, before the fight desperately usually criminals always tell all the secrets of his crime.


5. How to read Japanese writing is twofold: 

* The same as the Roman alphabet lettered books, letters read from top to bottom. 
* The second is from the rightmost column to the left, so the front and back of the book opposite the Roman alphabet books (home page located at "the back"). 


6. We (Indonesian people) and peers from other Southeast Asia generally when introducing themselves (jiko-Shokai) often begin with "minasan, konnichiwa" or "minasan, konbanwa". Perhaps this is because the habit of Indonesian to always start with a congratulatory speech tonight, and so on. But it was odd to hearing the Japanese, because it is similar to the news on TV. Should begin by directly calling the name and affiliation. For example "M1 no ken Tanaka desu Anto .... And so on.", No need to "konnichiwa minasan .. ...". 


7. The first difficulty that appears in the administrative affairs in Japan, when asked what the name of your family?, Because we no necessity in Indonesia and some Southeast Asian countries to include the family name. 


8. If we get an invitation requesting confirmation of attendance or not, we usually have to send back a postcard. One manner is to cross out the letter 御 on choice: 御 欠 席 / 出席. Also ruled out in our name suffix 様 listed as the sender on the postcard. It is Japanese custom, so we are always humble, which is shown by avoiding / crossed out and 様 御 on a postcard reply. 


9. If we sign, sometimes the Japanese will be asked: is read how?If the Japanese when required signature (eg passport, etc.). Generally write their names in kanji, so it can be clearly legible.While we usually make an abbreviation or a spike / initials so that it can not be copied / read by others. 


10. TV show in Japan is dominated by cooking. 


11. Copy of the Japanese self-service, while in Indonesia in-service. 


12. If a taxi in Japan, the door opened and closed by the driver.Passengers are allowed to open and close it themselves. 


13. Signature in Japan almost never apply for formal purposes, but must wear cap (Hanko / plays). Type of Hanko in Japan: 

* Jitsu-in, are the plays that are used for very important purposes, such as buying a house, buy a car, etc.. This type is registered at the shiyakusho (patented). 
* Gingko-in, is the kind of plays that are used to create a dedicated account in the bank. This type is registered at the bank. 
* Mitome-in, used for everyday purposes and not be registered. 
So sometimes one person has some type of plays, for various purposes. 



14. Pillion passenger must not ride a bike (except a lift children). (道路 交通 法 57 条 第 2 项 规则 9 条 乘车 人员 制 限 违反 -> bicycles should not be used lift, except that memboncengkannya more than 16 years old and children who diboncengkan less than one year old and the only one who diboncengkan. If violated, a maximum fine of 20 thousand yen. 


15. Invitation to eat together does not necessarily mean you are treated to, but could be paying separately. 


16. In Japan it is difficult to find a typewriter. 



17. Ever see the way Japanese people do not count "one", "two", "three", .... with his fingers? If colleagues note, there are differences with the habits of people of Indonesia. Indonesian people are generally starting from the hands and fists while counting "one", the little finger enforced. Count "two", the ring finger enforced, and so on. If the Japanese people, to my knowledge, just the opposite. They always start from the palms open, and how to calculate the inverse of Indonesia. When saying "one", then the fingers will bend / is closed into the palm of the hand. Eg Not believe? Coba deh ... jikken with your Japanese friends. 


18. How to write numbers: 7 (seven). Indonesia has always been the custom of adding a small scratch on the leg number 7 (like the letter "NU" katakana: ヌ). In Japan has always been educated to write seven letters exactly as typed (without its graffiti Indonesian people), so similar letters say "FU" (フ) or "WA" (ワ). 

10 Japan's Key to Success

1. HARD WORK

It is common knowledge that the Japanese are hard workers. The average working hours of employees in Japan is 2450 hours / year, is very high compared to America (1957 hours / year), UK (1911 hours / year), Germany (1870 hours / year), and France (1680 hours / year) An employee in Japan could produce a car in 9 days, while workers in other states require 47 days to make the car worth the same. A worker may be said Japan could do the work normally done by 5-6 people. Home quickly is something that can be said "somewhat embarrassing" in Japan, and indicates that the employee was included "not required" by the company. In college, professors are also used to come home that night (actually morning), make the student is not good to go home first. The phenomenon of karoshi (death due to hard work) may only exist in Japan. Most of the literature mentions that this is true with hard work and prosperity of Japan's revival can be achieved.

2. SHY 

Shame is the ancestral culture and the Japanese people from generation to generation. Harakiri (suicide by sticking a knife into the stomach) becomes a ritual since the era of the samurai, when they were defeated and the battle. Log into the modern world, the discourse changed a little to the phenomenon of "resign" for officials (ministers, politicians, etc.) involved the issue of corruption or feel like a failure duties. Possible negative effects are the children of elementary, junior high, sometimes suicidal, because its value is ugly or not the next grade. Embarrassed also the Japanese people prefer to choose a detour rather than interfere with the driver behind the cut line in the middle of the road. How do they automatically form a queue directly in any situations that need, purchase a train ticket, entrance to the stadium to watch football, at the bus stop, even to use public toilets at stations, they are neatly lined up waiting their turn. They are ashamed of their environment when they break rules or norms that have become common agreement. 

3. Scrimp 

The Japanese have a zest for life-saving in everyday life.Excessive anti-consumerism attitude is seen in various areas of life. In the early days of starting life in Japan, I was amazed with the number of Japanese people crowded the supermarket at about 19:30. Quizzed had inquired, it has become commonplace that the supermarkets in Japan will cut prices up to half in about half an hour before closing. As it is known that Japan's Supermarket in the average closed at 20:00. Another example is the housewives who are willing to ride a bike to the grocery store a little way from home, just because it is cheaper 20 or 30 yen. Many Japanese families who do not own a car, not because it is not capable, but because it is more efficient to use buses and trains to travel. Including my first thought why kerosene space heater uses a troublesome still loved, but enough with the existing air conditioning cold and hot mode.The reason was one, kerosene is cheaper than electricity.Japanese professor also used to ride an old bike to campus, together with his students. 

4. LOYALTY

 Loyalty to make a career in a company's systems running and cleanly. Slightly different from the system in America and Europe, are very rare Japanese who move jobs. They usually stay in one or two companies until retirement. This may be the implications of Industry in Japan that most would only accept fresh graduates, which they then train and educate themselves in accordance with the field plots (core business) companies. City Hofu perhaps an obvious example. Hofu was once a very industrial city with a population left behind is too dense. Loyalty of the population to stay afloat (do not go out of town) and have a shared commitment to work hard day and night and eventually change the Hofu become prosperous and modern city. Even today the best industrial city with a production of around 160,000 vehicles per year. 

5. INNOVATION 

Japan is not the inventor, but the Japanese have an edge in finding people to mix and then market it in the form of a demand by the public. Interesting to read the story of Akio Morita, who developed the legendary Sony Walkman. Tape cassette is not invented by Sony, the patent is owned by Phillip Electronics. But to successfully develop and membundling portable model as a product that is booming for decades was Akio Morita, founder and CEO of Sony at that time. Until 1995, there were more than 300 models of Walkman was born and the total production reached 150 million products. Mechanical assembly of four-wheeled vehicles are also not created by the Japanese, his patent owned by Americans. But it turns out Japan for its innovation vehicle assembly industry can develop a faster and cheaper. The resulting car is also relatively inexpensive, lightweight, easy to drive, easy to maintain and more fuel efficient. Matsushita Electric company formerly known as "maneshita" (impersonator) has its own legend with the bread maker machine. Innovation and ideas from a engineernya named Ikuko Tanaka, who took the initiative to replicate the techniques of making bread from sheef at Osaka International Hotel, produce work of bread-making machines (home bakery) Matsushita brand is famous for. 

6. Unyielding 

History proves that the Japanese including a resilient nation and unyielding. Decades under the Tokugawa empire that covers the access to overseas, Japan is very behind in technology. When the restoration of the Meiji (Meiji Ishin) came, the Japanese quickly adapt and become a fast-learner. Poverty is not natural resources to make Japan surrender. Not only the importer of petroleum, coal, iron ore and wood, even 85% of Japan's energy sources come from other countries including Indonesia. Reportedly, Indonesia needs to stop the supply of oil, then 30% of Japan will pitch dark series of disasters occurred in 1945, starting from the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan followed with a losing war, and added in the presence of a major earthquake in Tokyo.Apparently Japan is not depleted. In the next few years Japan has managed to build the automotive industry and even the fast train (Shinkansen). Probably pretty amazing how Konosuke Matsushita whose business was destroyed and almost out of the business of electronic equipment in 1945 are still able to crawl, start from scratch to build the industry to become a business empire in the contemporary era. Akio Morita was also originally to be laughed at when offering products Tapenya small cassette into various other countries. But eventually a legend with the Sony Walkman. What is also quite unique that the science and theory in which people must learn from this failure began to be formulated in Japan with shippaigaku name (the science of failure). Sometime I will peel more on this

 7. CULTURE READ 

Do not be surprised if you come to Japan and into Densha (electric train), most of the passengers both children and adults are reading books or newspapers. No matter sitting or standing, many of which utilize the Densha time to read. Many publishers are beginning to make man-ga (comic pictorial) curriculum materials for both elementary school, junior high and high school. Lessons of History, Biology, Language, etc. are presented with interesting people who make the higher interest in reading. I've discussed the problem of educational comics on this blog. Read the Japanese culture is also supported by the speed in the process of translation of foreign books (english, french, german, etc.). The legend says that the legend translation of foreign books was started in 1684, as the construction of the institute of translation and continued to grow until the modern era. Usually the Japanese translation of the book is available in a few weeks since its foreign books published. I used to buy a Japanese translation of literature books for cheaper than the original book (english).

 8. COOPERATION GROUP 

Culture in Japan is not very accommodating work too is individualistic. Including claims of employment, usually reserved for team or group. This phenomenon not only in the world of work, the condition of the campus with a research lab like that too, do the tasks subjects are usually in the form of the group. Working in groups may be one of the greatest strengths of the Japanese.There is an anecdote that "a professor of Japanese people to be inferior to one American professor, only 10 of the American professor will not be able to beat 10 people are flocking Japanese professor." Consensus agreement or often called "rin-gi" is a ritual in the group. Strategic decisions must be discussed in the "rin-gi". 

9. INDEPENDENT

From an early age children are trained to be independent. Ershad, my child had felt the most big and kindergarten (Yochien) in Japan.He had to carry three large bags containing clothes, bento (lunch packet), dressing shoes, books, towels and a large bottle of drink that hangs around his neck. In Yochien every child is trained to bring their own equipment, and are responsible for their own belongings. Remove the high school and enter college most of do not ask for costs to parents. Friend's apartment I used my year at Saitama University rely on part-time work for school fees and daily life. Even if the money ran out, they "borrow" money to the parents that later they return in the next month.

10. KEEP THE TRADITION 

Technological developments and economic, did not make the Japanese lose tradition and culture. Culture married women not to work there and live up to today. Cultural sorry still a reflex of the Japanese. If one day you ride a bike in Japan and hit a pedestrian, then do not be surprised if we hit instead of apologizing first. Until now the Japanese are relatively avoid saying "no" when getting bids from others. So we must be careful in association with the Japanese because the "O" not necessarily "yes" to the Japanese Agriculture is an ancestral tradition and an important asset in Japan. Tough competition due to entry of rice of Thailand and the U.S. are cheap, did not deter the Japanese government's measures to protect farmers. Reportedly soil cultivation get significant tax reductions, including a few other incentives for those who still survive in the world of agriculture. Japanese agriculture is one of the highest in the world. Perhaps such a success that's 10 recipes that I can rangkumkan.The Indonesian people have nearly all Japanese recipes above, just maybe we have not been sharpening properly. Indonesian students in Japan, including the superior and even beating Japanese students. People Indonesia also won numerous international awards berlevel. I'm sure there are factors "non-technical" which makes Indonesia slumped somewhat in the technology and economics. Let us together find solutions to various problems of the republic. And lastly we must remain willing to learn and accept the kindness from anyone.
