Marguerite is from the french Carribean.
Since 2003, she is doing research at the SONY FAMILY CORPORATION, in the
center of Tokyo city in Japan.
Facing the culture shock, she always sends emails to Matt, her half japanese half American friend working also for the FAMILY.....
Begining of her one day story: This morning, I had a computer problem!
A computer staff came... young Japanese guy, no English dekiru (can't speak english)!
He stayed with my broken Japanese and me during 1h..... he sweat all the FUCKING hour on all my documents, on my messy desk.... he used my phone and sweat on it, sweat on the computer, he had a self shower on my personal stuffs..... his hands were shaking, his voice was shaking..... He had an internal earthquake for 1 hour.....
That's was terrible!! Terrible........ poor guy, one of the worst samorai I have never met!!!!!!!!
I wanted to help, but I couldn't!!! My smile made him sweat more!!
The secretary asked him, if he was ok! She got tissue for him..... Sure, when he saw me this morning... he almost had a heart attack!! His shyness had to face little me, a FOREIGN!!!
Hmmmmmmmmm,
Of course, all over the world shy people have difficulties to do what they have to do, but in Japan the percentage of shy people is very high!!! And the level of shyness is terrible......
I heard from Japaneses that beauty come from shyness mostly.... I'm missing the point.....
I don't want to be not nice, but, basically the country side mind in here is not as develop as the high technology concept all over the island......
Hope I will be alive to see how they will reduce this GAP!!!
cheers,
Marguerite
PS: I spent another hour cleaning his germs..... Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
