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??

Hi, how are you?? Sorry for delaying rely. How are you?? You seem to love own country. Very nice :D

 

I also like nature, historical places, high population :) The relationship of person to person is neccesary for us, hahaha. And the quality of everything is higher than the rural cities because there are a lot of competitive races everytime in the city, right??

The Japanese density of population is 18th in the world. Turkey is 71th. So I guess that Istanbul is more vast city. Is it true?? I think Tokyo is too crowded city. But Istanbul seem to be not so crowded. This is very nice. By the way, why did you see Tokyo?? Have you been to Tokyo ever?? What is the common point between Tokyo and Turkey, do you think??

Kubilay Khan is Genghis, right?? I've never heard it. Thank you for telling me a new word!! Was Khan  interrupted by `Kamikaze`??

Anyway Thank you for commenting!!

 

 

 

Istanbul has more population than Tokyo because the people from other cities in Turkey still continue to immigrate here.First reason is the economical reason,second reason this is Istanbul.You are welcome to Istanbul.You have to see Istanbul and Turkey.There are so many beautiful places in Turkey.Turkey and Japan had always good relations.Two times Kubilay(Genghis )Khan ( He's our relative ) wanted to invade two times to Japan,but he couldn't because of the " Kamikaze ".But I know Japanese likes Kubilay Khan too.

All Japanese can consider Istanbul and Turkey as their house.And we have so many similarities with Japanese.I saw that in Japan.

Finally the reason for what I like the big cities is that the big cities are always rich of culture,education,social life and can make meet the different people from everywhere n-and those make more attractive big cities.

Sorry for late reply.

How are you?? Year I've heard that Istanbul is nice place. You seem to be lucky that you live in the nice place !!

 

 20million!! It's more than Tokyo. Tokyo has 13 million people. Sounds funny. I like an urban city. I wanna go there :D

 

Yeah, you're right. Ignoring is the worst. If I were ignored by someone, I am sad. But If someone are unconcern to me, it's fine...haha.

Thank you commenting :) Have a nice day!!

Hi Maraw,

I'm living in Istanbul and I like Istanbul.It's a beautiful city.There are 20 millions people living in Istanbul and there are the persons from all of the cities of Turkey and foreigners.I like that:To know different cultures,persons.

Ignoring is something worst than unconcern,not interest.For example,let's say that 3 persons discuss.The two persons discuss always and third one try to enter to the discussion,but two others ignore him.So he's outside.Ignoring is that.You know sometimes you ignore the people even if you don't want to ignore.

Hi, Thank you for commenting Masabarar :D


Yeah I can guess that Istanbul is like Tokyo!! Are you in Istanbul or have you been to??Do you like there??

And you're right :) The people in the second city must feel jealousy hahah.

In Japan, there are the words about ignoring. 'The opposite word of 'Like' or 'Love' is NOT 'Hate'. The opposite word of 'like' or 'love' are 'Ignore' or 'Unconcern'.'  What you said is like this thing, right?? Ignoring or unconcern is the most painful thing, haha.

I was glad to your empathy!!

Hi.You are reason.There is always the war between the first city and the second city.The second city is always jealous abt first city.First city deosn't care the second city.They don't make even a comment abt the second city.So that's the worst thing to not care,to ignore someone or something.

In Turkey,Istanbul is the biggest city and the second city's people is always jealous abt it,but once they stay in Istanbul,they don't return back.

Istanbul is Tokyo of Japan.
