Chapter Eighty-Eight: Visiting Tokyo (Jan. 3)
Along with these traffic command equipment, the Japanese obey their commands very much, stop at the red light, and at the street entrance that is not more than 3 meters wide, two groups of people stare at each other, but no one takes the first step out of the unruly, and in this environment and atmosphere, no one is embarrassed to disobey the rules.
In addition, the elevators in Japan stand on the left and the emergency passage on the right, but on all the escalators that Hong Tao saw, there was no special indication of this rule, but everyone stood safely on the left, no matter how far the line behind them was, there was no one going up and down from the right.
From Mejiro to Shibuya, this station is really close, Hong Tao has not finished observing the layout of the Japanese train, the car entered the station, queued out of the station, and was facing a building, as if it was a shopping mall, because there were many people in and out, but a big signboard with a 3-story height did make Hong Tao very puzzled, because there was only one word "medicine" on the signboard.
"The Japanese are in such bad health? Or did SARS also spread to Japan? Why is the business of the pharmacy so hot! Hong Tao stood on the side of the street and watched for a few minutes, and the doubts in his heart became even greater, anyway, he came out to hang out, go in and have a look.
Empiricism is a must! This medicine sign has nothing to do with medicine, this is not a pharmacy at all, but a store specializing in cosmetics, no wonder it is mainly lesbians who come in and out. Among a large group of Japanese women, Hong Tao felt a little embarrassed at first, but seeing that no one was watching or saluting him, this little uneasiness was quickly offset by a few beautiful women visiting the store.
In fact, Hong Tao didn't come to the store to see beauties, since he came in, he planned to buy some gifts for Zhou Xiaoli, although he didn't know that she liked that brand of cosmetics, and he didn't pay attention to the cosmetics brands she usually used, but Hong Tao knew that there was no girl who didn't like these things, whether she used them or not, if you gave her this as a gift, she would not be angry.
Hong Tao's understanding of cosmetics only stays at the stage of knowing the brand of Lu Dao, which is still due to TV commercials, and he only knows one brand of Lu Dao, Dior, which is said to be a big national brand, should be able to get his hands on it. Dior's counter was easy to find, and Hong Tao quickly came to the counter, but in the face of the shelves and various bottles and jars on the counter, Hong Tao really didn't know which style he should buy.
Just when Hong Tao was very entangled, 2 Japanese salesmen helped him solve this problem, although the language of the two sides did not understand, but through body movements, Hong Tao finally chose a small set and bought it, the price is more than 60,000 yen, almost 500 US dollars, more than 4,000 yuan, as for whether the price is cheap or expensive, the ghost knows.
The two Japanese salesmen were both girls in their 20s, very enthusiastic, and when introducing various styles of cosmetics and perfumes to Hong Tao, they also used their own faces to demonstrate, and also allowed Hong Tao to touch them to experience the feel. Hong Tao likes this kind of intimate service very much, and after tirelessly experiencing the N feel, he reluctantly left the pharmacy with the cosmetics, but he already had an extra note in his pocket, which was stuffed to him by the two Japanese salesmen, and some of the Japanese on it Hong Tao didn't understand what it meant, but the 2 strings of Arabic numerals Hong Tao could definitely understand, this is the legendary phone number!
If you don't look at the unusually clean streets and the flow of people who automatically queue up even when walking, it is basically no different from Beijing's Xidan Street and Wangfujing Commercial Street, strictly speaking, the buildings and street width here are far from catching up with Beijing's commercial streets.
For those department stores and clothing stores, Hong Tao didn't have the slightest interest in going in, but a sign on the building in front of him still aroused Hong Tao's curiosity, SEGA, Sega. Most boys should know that this brand is not only Chinese, this name is no longer a trademark of a commodity, but has become a kind of life.
This video game city is very large, with a total of 7 floors, all of which are all kinds of video game consoles, don't get me wrong, most of them are free trial games and paid entertainment areas, and the place where you really sell goods is only one floor. Hong Tao observed carefully for a while, and found that this is not only the world of boys, many Japanese girls are also holding a game console similar to our arcade machine and concentrating on the operation, and those who look like they are in their 30s are no longer a few.
Although Hong Tao also likes to play video games, he doesn't know a single Japanese, so he has to take a look. There were a lot of girls on the top floor, which made Hong Tao feel refreshed, and he also mixed in among these girls, big and small, and slipped through a few areas with them, and finally figured out what this place was: a self-service photo studio, which should be called a big head sticker in China.
However, this is completely different from the small cubicle in China, where at most 2 people go in and take a picture of the big head. First of all, there are a very large number of self-service cameras here, there are three rows in the middle of the hall alone, and there are about dozens of them; On either side of the hall, there are 2 huge powder rooms and costume rooms, with dedicated makeup artists and costume artists to guide customers on how to apply makeup and how to match costumes.
This kind of situation is estimated to be enjoyed by taking wedding photos in China, but the price is expensive, and in addition to paying a part of the money for taking pictures, cosmetics are brought with you, and borrowing clothes is all free, no wonder the entire hall is almost full of girls.
Seeing Hong Tao looking around and probing his brain, the waiter who managed the costumes and props warmly beckoned him to come in and have a look, and also brought Hong Tao a set of clothes for him to try on. Hong Tao saw that people were so polite, wouldn't it be a shame not to wear it, took the clothes and went into the fitting room to change them, and came out to look in the mirror, damn it, this is not the protagonist in Pirates of the Caribbean!
Seeing Hong Tao's appearance, many Japanese girls around couldn't help laughing, the waiter pulled Hong Tao to the dressing room next to him, pressed him to the chair, and the two makeup artists dressed up Hong Tao in three strokes and five divisions, and even the wig and waist knife were ready-made.
At this time, Hong Tao stood in front of the mirror, basically unrecognizable himself, his skin was also dark, his head was wrapped in a red cloth, his lips were a small mustache, a head of black pigtails and a big black circle.
"¥@......@......" The Japanese girls around shouted loudly, and then rushed up, pulling this fake Depp to take a photo with themselves, some of them looked like middle school students, some were slightly older, and their appearances were various, among which Hong Tao's favorite was the two who wore sailor suits and nurse suits, but the destruction was ruined by the language barrier, not to mention hooking up, not even a phone number.
After removing his makeup and changing back into his clothes, Hong Tao originally planned to ask how much he would charge, but people didn't want money, it is estimated that Hong Tao was a model here for free just now, which attracted praise from customers, and the store waived his fees, and gave him a lot of photos, all of which were taken with those girls.
Although it is a child's play, but the experience of such a time can also make Hong Tao feel very happy and happy, coming out of the game city, Hong Tao felt a little hungry, the time has passed 12 o'clock, it is time to find something to eat to make up for his stomach. What to eat? Hong Tao has changed several, there are sushi restaurants, and similar noodle restaurants? After that, I found a paella seller and went in.
Fortunately, the paella here is basically the same as the advertisement posted outside the store, unlike McDonald's and KFC, which say that it is shrimp balls or crab claws, and the advertisement looks the size of a palm. Hong Tao's plate of paella costs 1,600 yen, and it contains 3 slices of salmon the size of a palm, 2 pieces of conpoy the size of a ping pong ball, a pair of large crab claws that are more than half a foot long and have been shelled, a small pile of fish roe, and a corner of bread? Or is it a hair cake? There is also a small bowl of soup and 2 small plates of ingredients.
