Travelling notes with football landscapes.
Travelling notes with football landscapes.
Japan. I repent, the material name is borrowed at the writer
Victor Konetsky. But anything is better be not to thinking up. And about most
Football in the first reporting from Japan will be very little, for
TV and the Internet all the same not to keep up. It would be desirable,
That you, dear readers, have felt the surprising
The atmosphere reigning now in the countries football mundialja.
The economy should be economical.
Whether expensive country Japan? Yes as to you to tell... Quite
Edible and nourishing dinner at small restaurant or cafe, which here on
Each corner, will manage to you in 1200 - 1500 yens (that it was easier
To be guided in the prices, one thousand units of the Japanese currency replace
For 250 rbl. or $8). On what gain money organizers
The World championship on football? Journey madly costs much. On
Japan practically all move on shinkonsene - high-speed
The train which is accelerating momentum over 200 km/h. From Niigata to Tokyo
The author of these notes has reached for any two hours, though distance
Between cities on most a little it is less, than from Moscow to
St.-Petersburg. Thus shinkonsen favourably differs not only
From "Aurora" or Ayr - 200, but also from the similar European
Express trains. Speed in comfortable cars almost
It is felt.
All is good, but for the cheapest ticket for this miracle
The railway technics it was necessary to lay out about 11 500 yens.
Consider, that in many cities where matches п?п -2002 are led, it is possible
To reach only on shinkonsene - and conclusions do. Moreover and
The schedule of games is made in such a manner that, if today a match
It is spent, for example, in Kobe for the next day the meeting is planned
Not in next to Osaka or Ibaraki, and somewhere in Oita or Sapporo,
On other end of the country. You wish to look - all right to pay
Money.
In the World championships or Europe on football and on the Olympic Games in
Day of game for owners of tickets and accreditations usually
Public transport in a city the free. In Japan anything
Similar is not present. At the station nearest to stadium "пёп п?пЁ" in Kobe
After game "Russia - Tunis" specially trained volunteers
Sold tickets, that any yen (to be exact, nearby 200) not
Has escaped from the budget of the transport company.
But any train, from shinkonsena to similar to the usual
Tram, but moving on a single-track railway with our speed
Suburban electric train enondena, follows precisely under the schedule.
That though one was late, there should be something
The supernatural. Like the ending "Japan - Korea". And for those who
Wishes to travel on routes п?п -2002, saving contents
The purse, too there is a variant. By the night bus it is possible
To reach in any point of the country. A way to less comfortable conditions,
Than in the car shinkonsena, but is almost twice cheaper.
Hotels cost much also. Than time in ones and a half is more expensive, than hotels
Similar class in Europe. And the prices for services of "masseurs",
Which are quite officially offered fans in hotels
Level 3 - 5 stars, even with Moscow will not be compared. For 45 minutes
- 18 000 yens. It is possible to leave, of course, on street and to receive the complete set
Similar services of all for 7000, but understand, what is it already
At all that quality. And risk considerable.
However, if not to be spent that it is possible to receive and on
Tver or Neva, it is possible to save on hotel. Even during time
The World championship is not present problems to reserve a place in the youth
hostele, and to persons, for a long time from this age the left. And all
For 2500 - 3200 yens, depending on degree "krutosti" cities.
Such clean and well-groomed hotels of a similar class in one
To the country of the world to me to see it was not possible. Even traditional slippers,
Without which you will not cross a threshold of any Japanese house, in
hostelah it is necessary to put on.
And the cheapest place of a lodging for the night in Japan is... Saunas,
Located, as a rule, near to stations. Having paid all
1600 - 2000 yens, you can remain there on all night long. Moreover and
To be washed up. At this way of placing only two minuses. Having come in
Sauna, it is impossible to leave it. Well and "massage" to you will offer to
The withdrawal to a dream. For an additional payment, naturally.
Honour I have.
Policemen interesting all the same in Japan. Tightened all,
Lean, accurately observing a subordination and implicitly
Executing orders of seniors on a rank. Me to depth of soul
Has amazed, that one of these molodtsev has saluted me at an input in
Press centre building. When procedure caressing vanity
Has repeated and on an exit, that, guilty business, has thought: respect all
taki in the Country of a rising sun of the best Russian reporters.
But, as it was found out, working on п?п -2002 guards of an order
Salute all without an exception. And not only accredited
To journalists, not speaking about VIP-persons, but also to fans! If
To consider, that on matches goes on 40 000 - 70 000 spectators,
Can imagine an unenviable fate of the Japanese policemen.
They after all for a second do not relax also honour give standing on
To rack is quiet". Can present itself at least one
The Moscow militiaman making similar action in Luzniki
On a match "Spartak" - CSKA?
With the direct duties local guards
Order while too consult perfectly well: accurately plant streams
Fans before games, skilfully regulate transport movement
In vicinities of stadiums. "Examination zones", in which after
Osama bin Laden's tricks you feel especially uncomfortably, in Japan
Completely not such, as in America. Anybody here does not carry out
The control for the sake of the control. Have never forced to switch on
The computer or to remove boots, that Salt Lake City practised
Continually. The Japanese policemen making examination,
Are irreproachably polite and on-gollivudski are smiling.
And besides local policemen - are professional. Japan
Has reputation of one of the most safe countries of the world. Here
98 % of murders, and the criminals who have made less reveal
Heavy acts, not for long walk about on freedom. Photos
Suspects are hung out at all stations, and on TV not
The malefactors caught still show to a thicket, than football stars.
So not casually streets of the Japanese cities are safe in any
Time of days.
It, by the way, has mentioned in interview to local magazine,
Published on foreign languages and advertising the Country
Rising sun all over the world, the Korean football player But Dzhun En,
Acting in local J-league for club from Fukuoka. After that
Interview of one of the best forwards of Korea... Have not switched on in
National national team. After all for the Korean heads
Safety - the most painful question.
And in Japan even flow of fans from all world, switching on
English fans famous for vandalism, has not created problems for
Polices. Arrested persons in the first week of the championship can be counted
On fingers of one hand. In a police station delivered local
The fan who did not manage the ticket for a match with Belgians. The poor creature
Has defended some hours per turns at cash desk, and treasured kvitochki
Have ended in akkurat before it. Here it also has landed glass,
Having splashed out the anger on FIFA.
Moreover have detained the Englishman, trying to resell tickets
On a match with Cameroon to neighbours-Irish with very big margin.
But also it have soon released. Perhaps, even honour have given at
Exit from a police station.
Football and linguistics questions.
The government of Japan has put to citizens of the country the serious
Problem: by 2050 all is universal to master English language. It,
Certainly, not historical instructions of president Vladimir Putin,
Concerning mutual relations of officials and a small-scale business, but
Serious, you see, the program. Certainly, with hieroglyphs even
Crossword puzzle to make it is impossible, not speaking about dialogue with all
Other world. But Japanese - the people purposeful. If
Undertook something will necessarily finish business.
However while with English at inhabitants of the Country of a rising sun
The big problems. The word help is very frequent remains a voice
Scandalous in desert. Respond a smile. Most interesting, that
The author of these notes knowing from force hundred common
Words, Japanese understand better, than those who in perfection speaks
In English. To me here both hotels reserve, and tickets buy, and
On excursion in Kyoto promised to bring. On a way from Osaka in Kobe
Has met the nice Japanese who works here
The volunteer at office FIFA. It on a habit, probably, could not
To disregard the person with accreditation. The train was by no means
Not high-speed, the road has occupied a minimum half an hour. About what all of us it
Time spoke and in what language, till now for me remains
Riddle.
On a way to general mastering Shakespeare and Bush's by language at
Inhabitants of the island state there is a serious obstacle.
Hieroglyphs which they use, represent syllables. And
Frequently even to pick up analogue of a surname it is impossible. For example,
The goalkeeper of a Russian national team here represent as Nigamaturina. It
The closest to Russian or the English original a variant. Can
To be, therefore the most popular football player of a Russian national team in Japan
- Roadway. Inhabitants of Osaka and Tokyo write its surname as hear.
Decently those who lived speak English here or is frequent
Happens on affairs abroad. Even in large department stores far not
All sellers know this language. But to the World championship everywhere
Have changed signboards, and now it is possible to read names of stations and
Streets, without problems to orient on district. In cafe and
Restaurants arrive easier. Near to a beautiful picture - the price. And
Any English it is not necessary.
In Kobe where the Russian national team played, in the underground, at station and nearby
With stadium there are indexes on great and mighty. Also it is possible to learn,
Whence go "autouse". Well there are no here hieroglyphs, that
To write a word "bus"! But buses - with the conditioner and
Without harmful exhausts.
City of Russian triumph.
The late evening. Tokyo. To a withdrawal of last night bus on
Kobe almost one and a half hour. Usually to buy the ticket on not most
The route popular in rather poor Japanese is possible. But
The World championship dictates the priorities. "Excuse, I can nothing
To help. All tickets have been reserved in advance ", - remaining
Polite even in such situation, the Japanese - unnaturally smiles
The cashier. It was necessary to go with change in Osaka. "Has tried to buy
Tickets for game "Russia - Tunis" through booking system in
The Internet, it has turned out nothing. It is necessary to catch good luck before
The match beginning ", - the fellow traveller-Japanese has complained of destiny. Here
What interest has called a starting duel of a Russian national team!
Seaport Kobe where has dropped out to begin tournament to ours,
Has in Japan original reputation. It one of the first in
To the country in a century before last has been opened for visiting of foreigners. In
Quarter Kitano the set of houses in Dutch was saved,
German and British style. At station wonderful French cafe,
Where the Parisian melodies sound and submit newly-baked croissants.
If not local residents, there could be a sensation, that you in
To the old woman-evrope.
Is famous Kobe and Chinese quarter where it is possible to buy
Everything, everything. However before the match beginning between Russian national teams
And Tunis could seem, that branch Nanking-machi (so is called
The most well-known street of this area) has moved to stadium
"Uing". Local dealers, loudly praising highly the goods,
Sold all - from electronics to local dishes. A special emphasis
Became on Russian tourists. Well you will take from admirers poor
Africans whom even own trainer has enlisted in outsiders
Groups!
For Tunisians an additional trump became climatic
Conditions. In Kobe it was hot and it is stuffy. A provocative question
The Italian colleague, what tactics will choose Romantsev, minutes for
Prior to the beginning of game one of the Russian reporters parried ten
Rather witty: "Ten in a shade, and Nigmatullin in collars". For
Representatives of hot Africa to play such hot conditions -
Business habitual. Besides Tunisians had magnificent motivation.
For them the World championship is an original fair, on which
It is possible for selectors of leading European clubs to attract.
To prove halfback Hasan Gabsi had special desire,
Which marry off in "Spartak". Have not forgotten after all, who for the present
Is in the Moscow club the main trainer and the president?
Acting in last season for Italian club "п п?п п?п?п " 28
Summer havbek was an outstanding public figure in the field of stadium "пёп п?пЁ". It
Has had time to create pair of the dangerous moments at gate of Nigmatullin,
shlestnutsja with Karpin and to state to the judge from Jamaica with difficult
Said and easily scanned surname "Prendergast" all, that
He thinks about appointed in gate of Tunisians of a foul shot.
But game was already forgot, and the city of Kobe will become history
Domestic football as a place where the Russian national team has gained
The first victory in a starting match of the ending of the World championship.
Boris Hodorovsky, the special correspondent
The St.-Petersburg newspaper "Change", from the World championship on football,
Specially for "Focus".
