The following is Mr. Abe Nice Guy! Neither right nor left is relevant. Everyone in Japan, this is the real voice overseas! It is from Mayumi Tanimoto's paper published in the monthly magazine WiLL, which released on June 26.
The monthly magazine WiLL is a must-read not only by Japanese but also by people worldwide.
Those who haven't subscribed should go to the nearest bookstore right now.
It is full of real papers like this one.
Even so, the price is only 920 yen (including consumption tax).
Overseas people who praise Japan
Europeans are breaking every rule that is trying to avoid three denseness.
Why is Japan being praised so highly, and why is there so much interest in Japanese food?
If you're in the UK or any other European or North American country, you can see this.
For example, the UK is still in the middle of June with almost 200 deaths a day, but now that the lockdown has been eased, the ordinary people are treating Corona as no longer a viable option.
It is not only in the UK, but also in Italy, France, Germany, and other countries. Although the number of deaths and infections is at a level that is incomparable to that of Japan, they have no choice but to relax the lockdown for fear of economic collapse.
Even though there are 2m social distance rules and rules such as banning meetings, many people are tired of the lockdown life, and the rules are now a mere skeleton, and violators continue to appear in various places.
Europeans are breaking every rule, trying to avoid three denseness and are in a dense, dense, compact state.
In the UK, schools have been reopening since June 1, but to my surprise, they are full of schools that prohibit or do not recommend the wearing of masks.
Although the wearing of masks on public transportation such as buses and trains has been made "compulsory," the rules are so appropriate that the Japanese mask police would be appalled if they saw it. There are not many people who wear them correctly.
No one wears masks on the streets or in shops.
Even in the shops, people ignore social distance, get along with each other, and talk a lot.
They don't disinfect their hands. Even if they are handed disinfectant, they ignore it.
In the first place, they usually do not wash their hands before meals.
The school is with shoes on, and kindergartners sit or lie down on the carpet where they walked around.
The toilets are horrible, even in a high-class department store, and the floor flooded with urine for some reason, or it's not flushed.
The toilet seats are broken before they were cleaned, and there were many breakdowns, so it was beyond the point of being unclean.
They eat sandwiches and apples without washing their hands on the train or bus, and if the area is a bit rough, they throw the trash straight and onto the floor.
It's not uncommon to see buses with KFC bones spewed out and dumped on the floor.
Even in the elevator, it's a mess. Restaurants, fast food, and movie theaters are full of trash and food scraps on the floor, both parents and children leave without cleaning up.
Their desks in the school are sticky, and their stationery is sticky. It's not just in the UK, it's the same in Italy, where I lived for four years, and in other European countries.
The concept of hygiene in Germany, which is supposed to be meticulous, is also questionable.
The basic concepts of not bothering others and keeping the city clean are missing.
However, if you try to wash your hands before eating out, people around you will treat you like you're a little too nervous and crazy.
I carried medical wipes and alcohol with me even before Corona, and I always disinfected tables and chairs and washed my hands when I ate out.
I've been freaked out at gatherings of friends who are mothers raising their children.
My in-laws told me I was too nervous, and we argued about it, including the fact that I was not allowed to wear shoes in the house.
