VS Shanghai(3)

A Japanese minister went to Yasukuni shrine today even though the relationship wiht China becomes worse now. I don't know his "bravery" can get anything from Japanese gods. (By the way, God has a nationality?) It will give Chinese people bonus motivation to throw stones more to Japanese restaurant or property.

I went to therapeutic shops twice in Shanghai.
It was a good expreiece for my health. Foot massage helped my blood circulation. The beer after the massage moved inside my body quickly. I felt very good drunk. Milk and Oil massage was good for my skin. And more it got rid of my tireness of travel. Though I can't compare with therapeutic shops in Japan, the quality in Shanghai was very good. The service in many places in Shanghai is not sophisticated or not complete. But the people in therapeutic shops understand deeply what service is, I think.

I watched very very strange barbar.
The barbar inside was lightuped pink or red.
Staffs were all women.
Customers were all women too. Very strange.
Yes. They were prostitutes.
I did't think there were such women in China because I thought China was very strict to such a job. If my memory is correct, there was not such a barbar when I visited Shanghai four years ago. What is happening there? This is on the natural way to be a normal modern city?

From the interest of my job, I went to a bookstore in Shanghai.
There are many magazine stands on the street but there are not so many bookstores and not a good bookstore there. I think it's a good chance to start a publishing business. But still now publishing is regulated by Chinese government. Though my company has a branch in Taiwan but it has difficulty to make Chinese branch because of the old regulation.
I studied Chinese language a little by reading children's book to master the language.
I don't understand the complexity of pronounciation at all. Mustbe my reading was terrible.
One kind staff lady corrected me in the store.
I will study Chinese in this year. Fortunately one of my coworkers in my office is good at Chinese. I can learn it from her.
Besides the regulation, it must be a challanging work to try a publishing business in China.
Especially it's meaningful that Japanese companies start the business there.
Book is the best media to understand people's bias totally and completely.
Chinese people can know Japanese bias more directly.
It is better for both countries' people to judge each other by complete information.

I am not sure when I go to China next.
China is an interesting country still now . I have to visit there again and again.
Now I have a VIP card for a good restaurant in Shanghai because I went to the restaurant twice for a short period. But I failed to communicate with staffs there because of my lack of Chinese language knowledge. I have an unfinished work in China.
