Japan
August 14, 2012
I really love New York. But I met many foreigners who say 'I don't like NY'. So I thought that NY isn't liked from everyone.
But I knew it isn't true. I ate dinner with the people who are from Vancouver and San Francisco nowadays. I asked him who is from San Francisco, ‘Don't everyone like NY, do they??' He answered ‘Actually no. But people in LA or San Francisco don't like NY. It's just a commonplace war, East vs West. It is like Tokyo vs Osaka. Hah??’He has been in Japan for many years. Osaka is the second largest city in Japan. And Osaka locates on the West in Japan. When I heard what he said, I realized that I misunderstood. I remembered the war between Tupac and Biggie. (If you like hip hop, you must know it. And if you don't know it and you're interested in, please search it.) In addition, the man who is from Vancouver said 'Yeah, I can say same thing in Canada. Many Vancouver people don't like Toronto, and many Toronto people don't like Vancouver.'
As I recall, I have never seen the people who is from NY in Japan. Actually, in my city, there are many American. But all of them that I have met ever are from Westside in America. Many people who were born in Tokyo have never been to stay the other areas. So, well many people in NY have never been to stay the other countries, maybe.
The people who were born in the largest city may love their home province more than the people who were born in the other areas. (Actually, many New Yorkers are wearing the T-shirt written ‘I ♡ NY’ and the cap of Yankees.) And if I say about Osaka, the people in Osaka really often say ‘People in East are blah blah blah , but people in West are blah blah blah.’
From my view, NY is the crowded and close city. LA or San Francisco are the city of nature. Those are totally different. So I can guess that the people in Westside don’t like noisy and busy city. But if I compare Tokyo and Osaka, those are not so different. Both of them are small and crowded city. So, how different?? The trait of their humanities are totally different. Take, for example, the people from Osaka come into my heart with their shoes. Adversely, the people from Tokyo come into my heart after leave off their shoes. Can you imagine?? The fulsome distance that an unknown people come close is 80 cm for the people from Tokyo. But for the people from Osaka, this distance is 60 cm. So many foreigners like Osaka more than Tokyo. They said ‘The people in Osaka treat as a person more than the people from Tokyo.’ When they go to Tokyo, they seem to feel anomie as the foreigners.
So how about the Japanese in the other areas?? Our area locates on east side in Japan. But the people who like Osaka and the people who like Tokyo are vary among individuals. Because the different thing is only disposition there. It depends on the individual at all.
Anyway, there is a war between the largest city and the second largest city in many countries. How about in your country??
