Conversation in a Japanese Bar
- Hello. Are you Chinese?
- I am, I am.
- Is this your shop?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, can I take a look
- around? The shop? The shop.
Oh, sure, sure. Is that okay?
Sure, sure. It’s still
- being prepared, is that okay?
- Okay, okay. Welcome, welcome.
- Your name is Wu Hongjing? Wu Hongjing.
- Yeah, I’m on break right now.
- Oh.
- Yeah, are you the owner?
I am, but today the shop is—um.
Someone else lent me the space. Oh.
- Have a seat, have a seat.
- Is this you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.
I’m still getting things ready, so, you see,
- is there anything you’d like to drink?
- Oh, is that okay? Ah, come on, come on.
No, no,
- we charge for that.
- What kind of shop is this? This is sort of,
during these business hours, it’s sort of my,
my shop. Jasmine.
Ah, Jasmine.
- Like the jas—jasmine flower, right?
- Jasmine. It’s different.
When I was younger, this shop
was sort of a place someone lent me,
so I could meet with my former fans,
- a place to meet my former fans.
Like that, you—
- How long have you been studying? I came to Japan
- over eight years ago, I guess. What Japanese
- words do you like? I fit the character,
- Moe moe kyun.
- Can you do “moe moe kyun” for me?
- No, we charge for that.
- Your job is “moe moe kyun.”
Yeah, I graduated at the end of last December.
- At the end of December.
- Ah, what did you do after graduating?
After graduating, and for the past six months,
I moved at that time,
and I went back to China. Then this
bar here, I open it every week
- for one or two days. Ah, one or two days. Yeah.
- You studied Japanese after coming to Japan.
- When I arrived, I could barely speak it. Let me give you—
- Where are you from?
I’m from Zhejiang. Where is that?
Zhejiang is right next to Shanghai.
It’s like Tokyo,
- kind of close by.
- What’s your personality like?
Me? Hmm. My personality is very Chinese.
When I worked before, when I was a maid,
I was surrounded by Japanese girls, but everyone said
my personality was
- purely Chinese.
After coming to Japan, how has your impression
of Japan
- changed? Oh, it’s inconvenient.
Ordering delivery is expensive, taxis are expensive too.
It’s not exactly inconvenient,
I just wasn’t used to it.
And now sorting the garbage
isn’t a problem either.
- It was definitely inconvenient at first.
What do you think is the biggest
- difference between China and Japan?
China values results, while Japanese people value the process.
- That's all right. So-so.
- What time do you open? I'm still early today.
Just three,
- opening at three o'clock.
- Opening for business soon.
Right, what was your name again?
- I forgot to ask. I'm GuangGuang.
- Don't forget. Ah, Guang.
Guang is fine, I won't forget it in Chinese,
- but I don't think I can remember it in Japanese.
- Okay, thanks. I'm leaving.
Ah, definitely next time, next time, right?
Okay, okay,
okay, bye-bye, bye-bye. Bye-bye.
