NYARAN

Esta es mi commercial favorito de television.
This is my favorite television commercial.



Esta compania es un servicio de resevasion) de los hoteles y viaje, se llama JYARAN.

Y su mascota es ese gato, y su nombre es NYARAN.

Nya es voz de gatos el japones.
Nya-ran es gato version de Jyaran.
Su publicidad y Nyaran son muy populares en japon.
El gato viaja a muchos lugares en japon.

This company provide service on the line to reserve hotels and trips, and it is called Jyaran.
And its mascot is a male cat, y his name is Nyaran.
In Japan, cry of the cats is nyah.
so they named Nya-ran after Jyaran.
This commercial and Nyaran is getting very popular in Japan now.
The cat is travelling all around Japan.

En este video, Nyaran visita un ryokan ( hotel estilo traditional japon).

In this video, Nyaran visitede a ryokan, traditional Japanese hotel.

Cuando llego al ryokan, Nyaran toma onsen ( aguas termales).
Aguas termales son una cultura importante en japon.
Nos gustan mucho.

When he arrived at the ryokan, he went to take a onsen (hot spring).
Hot spring is a very important Japanese culture.
We love onsen (hot spring a lot)


Pero el gato ha equivocado y el fue a baño (spa) para mujeres.
El dijo que " mmmmmm. aye, este es para mujeres!!!!!! perdon.
Y el salio y fue a baño para hombres.

But this cat had made a mistake, and he went to the hot spring for women.
He said, " mmmmm, oh, this is for women. Sorry." y he left and went to the hot spring for men.

Como ves, en japon, nosotros tomamos agua termales o baño publico desnudo.
Muchos aguas caliente prohibido tener toalla ni traje de baños.
Tienes que quitarte toda la ropa.... incluso ropa interior.
En este video, las mujeres tienen toallas, pero es para video. Normalmente tenemos que quitarnos todas la ropa.

As you can see, in Japan, the japanese take public bath or hot spring in naked. You have to take off all of your clothes, including underwear.
In this video, the women wore towels around their bodies, but it is for this commercial film. Usually we just take off all of our clothes.

Alguinas aguas termales son mixtos, mujeres y hombres.
ah, pero yo nunca he probado.....
actualmente no me gusta mucho tomar baño con otras personas sin ropas.
Pero esta es una cultura japonesa.
Ni modo.

There are some mix hot spring.
Mix means, women and men take bath together.
Eh, I have never tried that before.
Honestly I do not like take bath naked with other people so much.
But this is Japanese culture, so it cannot be helped it.

En japon, baño ( bañera, tiña) y agua caliente son para relajar.
Especialimente, aguas termales son muy buena para tu saludo, heridas, enfermedades.

In Japan, taking bath and hot spring is for relaxing.
Especially, hot spring is told that it is good for your health, injury and illness.

Una cosa que extraño de japon cuando vivia en otros paises, es agua caliente.
tomar baño en afuera viendo monte o rios o vista maravillosa es muy divertido y relajado.
Pruebalo cuando vistes japon.

One thing I missed about Japan when I lived in other countries was hot spring.
Taking bath in outside looking at mountains, rivers and beautiful scenary is really enjoying and relaxing.
You should try that some day.

celular peluche ( cell phone accessories)

Aun una japonesa como yo no entiende es mucha japonesas les gustan poner muchas accesorios en sus celular.

Even a Japanese girl like me do not understand is many Japanese girls like to put many accessories with their cell phones.

Accesorios pequeños estan bien. es normal (en japon).

Accessories smaller is good ( it is very normal in Japan).

Pero ellas ponen muchos peluches grandes.... como asi.

But those girls put many dolls like these.








Como hacer llamada con estos???
jajajaja

How can they make a phone call???
hahahaha


Antes accesorios son pequeños pero estos años ponen unos peluches grandes es popular.
Pero no todos japoneses.
Las chicas jovenes. Especialimente chicas segundaria estudientes.

Before, the accessories had been smaller, but these a few years, putting many bigger dolls is getting popular.
But not all Japanese girl.
Especially younger girls, like high school students. (But some twenish y thirtish,too)

No tengo nada en mi celular.
Y otras me preguntaron porque no tengo nada...
Ellos piensan es rara.
I do not have any accessory on my phone, and other people ask me why I do not put any.
They think it is strange....

No solo celular, pero tambien ellas ponen peluches mas grandes en sus bolsas.

They also have much bigger dolls on their bags.


Eh, yo puse este titulo " cellular peluche" a proposito de " La familia peluche", porque esa tele programma es mi favorita. jajajajaja.

dormiendo en tren (sleeping on the train)

One thing foreign tourists are surprised to see that many Japanese people are sleeping on the train.
Look at these videos.

Una cosa, touristas extranjeros se sorprenden en japon es muchos japoneses estan dormiendo en tren.
Mira estos videos.








Many videos like these have been uploaded en youtube.
Muchos videos como asi han ponen en youtube.

Actually for the Japanese, this is really common.
If we have 10 minutes on the train, we take a nap.

Pero actualmente para nosotros, dormir en tren es commun.
Si tenemos 10 minutos, vamos a dormir. jajaja

More over the average of commuting time in Tokyo is about 1 and half hour.
3 hours on the train per day, 18 hours a week.
Why not we sleep on the train?

Ademas, promedio de tiempo para ir a trabajo en tokio es 1 hora y media.
Pues 3 horas por 1 dia, 18 horas por 1 semana.
Mejor dormir en tren, no?

As you know many Japanese students study til late at night, and people have to work overtime.
Many Japanese people go home late, and do not have many free time. So they reduce their sleeping time to watch tv , internet or other things.
And they are tired.
Another thing is relatively Japanese train is safe.
Surely there are some pick pockets though.

Los estudiantes japoneses tienen que estudiar hasta tarde la noche.
Y mucho gente trabajo horas extras y regresan a sus casa tarde.
No tienen mucho tiempo libre, pues ellos reducian tiempo para dormir por ver tele o chequar internet.
Ellos estan cansado todos los dias.

Relativemente, tren in japon es seguro.
si, hay robos, pero no mucho.


Actually it is prohibited to take photos of esperially girls on the train.
If the police find it, the person would be arrested.
Because there are perverts or stalkers taking photos of girls.

One day when I was on the subway, a group of Spanish tourists got on the train and took photos of us. It was early morning to go to work, and we are stanned. But it was so sudden that we could not say anything. Maybe they will upload it on the net....

Actualmente es prohibido tomar fotos de chicas en tren.
Si policia verlo, ellos arrestan ese hombre.
Porque hay muchos mañosos o acosadores toman fotos de chicas.
Otra dia, cuando estaba en metro par ir a trabajo, un gropo de esapañoles entraron a tren y toman nos fotos. QUe sorpresa!
