Чтение 8 класс английский-19. Как развлекаются японцы-I

When barefoot kids rush around the yards and play tag, it’s quite understandable to us. To catch up and «overshoot», and then rush away yourself – it fits perfectly in our minds. But Japanese [ʤæpəˈniːz] children would find this game boring, they are more inventive and – in their opinion – more fun to play this game. The point of Conte is to run up and, having made something like a pistol from two index fingers, shove his victim into the very center of the fifth point. The Japanese believe that such fun brings the younger generation closer together.

One South Korean company seriously researched this topic and met Japan halfway by releasing Boong-Ga-Boong-Ga slot machines for those who did not get enough of the conte game in childhood. The plastic bottom was a special integral attribute of this machine. The player could vent his discontent or anger by spanking the machine on the appropriate part – so score a lot of points. And for those who did not have enough, a plastic [ˈplæstɪk] finger was attached, which was inserted exactly as in childhood, in the very center.

In order to «come off to the fullest», the player on the machine could choose the appropriate character: mother-in-law, father-in-law, boyfriend, ex-girlfriend or boss.

There is even a monument in honor of Conte’s game!

If there was a nomination «laziness above all» in the Guinness [ˈgɪnɪs] Book. Then this human creation would deserve it. In one of the hypermarkets [ˈhaɪpəmɑːkɪt] of the city of Kawasaki [ˈkɑːvɑːˈsɑːkɪ] there is the world’s smallest escalator [ˈeskəleɪtə]. Its height is only 83 centimeters.

You won’t have time to take a nap while you’re going down, but the thought «why?» will have time to signal in your head several times. It is possible that the idea was to attract the attention of visitors. But it turned out to be an entertaining attraction!

Every city and even settlement is full of catering establishments. And what an entrepreneur will not do to attract customers to his food outlet! So in Japan – Tokyo – there was a rabbit cafe. Yes, rabbits work in this cafe. Everyone seems to have won here: both the owners. Who have no end of visitors and the visitors themselves. Fluffy and cute rabbits can be petted and fed. The cafe is small, only three tables with pillows instead of chairs. Therefore, it is better to take a place in advance or come in the morning. Payment is made for every half hour of stay inside the cafe. Here you can take photos and buy souvenirs [ˈsuːvənɪə] on similar topics.

The division of shoes into street and home shoes is a normal phenomenon in people. Homemade slippers do not surprise. But the Japanese decided on another shoe division – they have toilet slippers in use. Yes, as soon as you enter the «toilet type» [ˈtɔɪlɪt] room, you need to change your shoes right away. You will definitely find slippers with the brand «toilet» on the floor. Poor people, they’ve never seen any other world but the toilet! It is believed that nothing weedy should be taken out of this room. If you suddenly forget to change your shoes or do it on purpose… The owner, noticing this, may be offended.
