In Kyoto today, after a long day of traveling and dealing with wifi woes. It’s the second day of Shincha, so will see how it goes at Uji. Tonight, a friend’s welcoming kaiseki dinner, and with the bamboo leaf wrapped rice similar to the Chinese tradition for commemorating Chu Yuen, at the Dragon Boat Festival May 5th. Many of the cultural elements shared in ancient times remain intact in Japan, with their own twist. Japan is all about rules and following them. That’s how everything is kept in order. I wonder, how do the Chinese tourists fare in Japan, two extremes in observing etiquette and consideration? My friend says Chinese tourists have been welcome. Money talks above all.
