Arigato, Japonia! 23. Automatele japoneze / Arigato, Japan! 23. Vending Machines

By comparison with other countries, you can be amazed by the quantity of vending machines in Japan! You can buy drinks, cigarettes, ice-cream, coffee, newspapers (I’ve seen only one in my hotel in Osaka), ramen, and even umbrellas, it is said, but I haven’t seen any. You find them in the railway stations but also near the temples or other touristic sites. Coming single or in batteries of 5-6 vending machines, they are ubiquos. By far, most of them sell non-alchoholic drinks and water. Even if it was April, some hot days made me look always for water (120 yeni a half a liter bottle). It was the only type of vending machine I used, the rest of them, I photographed.

In comparatie cu alte tari vizitate, in Japonia uimeste multimea de automate care vand tot felul de lucruri: bauturi, tigari, ziare, cafea, inghetata, ramen. Se spune ca exista automate care vand si umbrele dar eu nu am vazut. Sunt nelipsite in gari dar le gasesti si pe langa temple sau alte locuri de interes turistic. Ele sunt amplasate fie cate unul fie in baterii de chiar 5-6 automate, unul langa altul. Cele mai multe - de departe - sunt cele care vand tot felul de bauturi energizante, sucuri, apa. Desi era aprilie, au fost niste zile foarte calde, asa ca eram mereu in cautarea unuia unde sa gasesc apa (120 yeni sticla de 0.5 ml). Pe celelalte doar le-am fotografiat.

aici poti cumpara ziare (am vazut doar unul, in hotelul din Osaka)
