One of the thing I really liked about living in Japan is the way of using a very convenient method to save energy and time for busy people who have to work hard on a tighted busy day in their daily life. Japan has been a very convenient country where you can do stuff easily at almost every time that you need to here like paying, buying, ordering and etc where you don’t have to go or ask all the way out from your current place while most of these things will be done for you as quick as possible on time.

 

From what I have experienced here that most of the restuarant here are very convenient which you could find just buy a food or drink ticket without asking the waiter/waitress for order instead buying at through the vending machine provided in front of the entrance door. All you need to do is the buy what you want to through seeing a picture and decided by insert the money into it and press the button until the ticket is printed up and drop down it then give it to the person who is going to serve you through the table.

 

It was quite easy for a busy time where people also can choose to take out through the vending machine too which require less time and work by requesting alot. You can almost find these type of restuarant in most of the places around where salarymen used to go to during their lunch hour.

 

I have never seen this before I came to Japan which I found it quite interesting to know that this type of ticket vending machine is very easy to use especially people who don’t know how to order in Japanese because when I first came to Japan, my Japanese ability is nearly on zero and it was quite hard for me to order through the waitress until one of my comrade introduce a restuarant that only uses food ticket to take order from the vending machine. Was quite into it back then until now I seldom went to the restuarant that uses this unless I’m on a hurry. ^^;;

Last few days ago, I happened to received an email asking me about the life for my weekday morning classes in Japan which I happen to start attending it from this summer semester onwards according to the level of my Japanese studies that involves morning session. Well.. Since many folks here who are interested to know what is it like in the morning situation here in Japan especially big city like Tokyo, I do write or tell it through this article about the reality of going out early in morning during weekdays of life as a foreign student here.

Talking about morning life here in Japan, Unfortunely I happen to live/stay in Tokyo where nightmare really existed which you might encounter a terrible experience if you plan to work or study here early in the morning because you might get into a fully crowded train where people are rush for work and school time. The picture above is where I need to wait on line for the train to arrive where others people does the same thing. It’s really packed up with people during morning hour like this but less on afternoon which I used to ride at that time before. ^^;;

Inside the train, It’s really packed up with people especially salarymen, office ladies and students where they have to rush for their work and school hour at the time early in the morning. I usually take the 7:20a.m train where it took me for about 1 hour just to arrive to Tokyo than it used to be. During that time, it’s quite packed inside that you can hardly find any seat unless you are lucky enough where you have to stand for until your last station to Tokyo. Sometimes you can hardly move inside and makes you feel uncomfortable with the people sticking together around you. ^^;;

Most of the seats are occupied with salarymen in their black and white outfits.

Arrival in Shinjuku where it’s also packed up with people walking out of the train station which I can hardly walk faster with the crowd like this. ^^;;

I can see some people dare to take the subway line where insane amount of people are going to crush you into a tiny pieces inside the train. I have experienced once before where I happen to become the meat of the sandwich bread and I could see some cute female are also forced into the crowd inside where male might take advantages of touching her eyes and butt. It was quite sick that you could see the train workers are helping to push the people into the train before closing up the door. ^^;;

Which is why I decided to walk to school instead of taking the morning subway. It’s quite rare to see less people walking in Shinjuku early in the morning. It was like nobody around. ^^;;

Most of the shops here opens at 10a.m onwards until night time while department store open up from 11a.m. It was lucky for them to not get up that early from bed. ^^;;

If you plan to wake up early in the morning and feel tired without having any energy filled inside your body strength especially on hot weather like this then you might as well as get a Unagi set to increase your energy for work and study during summer time like this.

Unfortunely I didn’t go for that on my breakfast time but went to Matsuya to get some delicious curry rice.
