11. Culture looks Walking in Japan
We can often see the street names and house numbers in America, Canada, England, but in some other countries we can’t. If you take a trip to Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, you will find there are few street names and house numbers, but people are still very good at giving directions. Let’s look at how this lady gives direction!
”Well, you take a walk to Shinjuku Station. Turn right and walk for three blocks. You can see a pay phone. Turn left and pass a hotel. On your left, there is a large building. Turn left again and walks one more block. Right in front of you, there is a small coffee shop named Coffee Time. I will meet you there.”
Wow! That’s really terrific. Can you believe it？
What about your city? Are there street names or house numbers? Please write to me!
