1. Disposal method of domestic garbage
According to the location of the community and the types of garbage, Japan has different regulations on the dumping time and garbage bags. Generally speaking, domestic garbage is divided into combustible garbage, plastic resource garbage, paper resource garbage, bottles and cans recyclable garbage, non-combustible garbage and so on. In order to reduce the waste of resources, garbage recycling is very important in Japan.
Generally, a "bulletin board" will be set up in a conspicuous position in residential areas or school dormitories, which will arrange in detail what kind of garbage to throw on a certain day of the week. Please obey the rules of littering, or you will be fined.
2. Avoid making noise in your life
Most houses in Japan have thin walls. In order to avoid disputes with neighbors, we should try to reduce the noise of life.
In daily life, everyone should pay attention to the volume of TV, radio and stereo, the use time of vacuum cleaner and washing machine, the sound of opening and closing doors and walking, don't speak loudly and make noise, and live in harmony with neighbors.
In addition, when the mobile phone is in public, please turn it to vibration mode and try not to answer the phone in public transportation facilities. You can make a short phone call and explain that you are in a car. Call back after you get off the bus. Most Japanese people can understand.
3. Precautions for the use of bathrooms and toilets
Toilets in Japanese bathrooms are divided into Japanese toilets and Japanese toilets. Because of napkins, sanitary products, etc. Insoluble in water, don't throw anything other than toilet paper into the toilet. At the same time, be careful not to let the hair fall off with the water when taking a bath, so as not to cause waterway blockage.
Once the drainage pipes in the bathroom and toilet are blocked, there may be serious water leakage. If it affects the residents downstairs, you need to pay the necessary compensation.
In addition, please clean the bathtub and toilet 2-3 times a week. I don't need to say this common sense.
4. How to use the balcony
In Japan, the balconies of most concentrated houses are used as emergency exits, so the exits should not be blocked. Therefore, it is not allowed to throw things in front of the wall of the balcony next door, so as to avoid inconvenience when taking refuge. When watering the balcony plants, be careful not to water the bedding and other items that are drying downstairs.
People living on the second floor of 1 should pay attention to the fact that although Japan is a very safe country, they should also have a sense of prevention, and be sure to close the doors and windows when they are not at home.
When girls hang clothes on the balcony, underwear should be avoided in conspicuous places. Generally, underwear is put in other clothes, and big towels or big clothes are used as shelter, which is a respect for neighbors and passers-by.
5. How to use public facilities
In concentrated houses, corridors, stairs and places where space is used, personal items cannot be placed because there is open space. In addition, it is also very dangerous to pile up items in public spaces to take refuge.
6. Use and parking of vehicles
Bicycles must be neatly placed in designated places, and the parking fee can be paid for one month, otherwise a ticket will be posted and taken directly to the Japanese police station. If you are fined, you can buy half a bike.
Cars must be parked in the parking lot. Parking lots are generally paid, and parking on the side of the road or misplacing is absolutely not allowed in Japan.
7. Japanese life greetings are a kind of etiquette.
After moving in Japan, you should greet your neighbors. "I live next door, called xx. As a student of xx University, greetings such as "Please pay more attention" can help you get along well with your neighbors.
In addition, in the same concentrated place, daily greetings such as "good morning" and "hello" are also a kind of etiquette.
8. About rest
In Japan, schools, government and other departments are closed on Saturdays, Sundays and Sundays. Zhuri is a national citizen's rest day, which is stipulated as one year 15 days. Hospitals, banks and other institutions need to check their rest days in advance.
9. Respect Japanese customs and habits
Japanese families do not wear shoes at home. Although some people wear slippers at home, please don't wear shoes on tatami. Bedding is generally spread directly on the ground or tatami, and stacked neatly in the cupboard after getting up every day.
The above is my little knowledge of life in Japan, and I hope it will help my classmates living in Japan.
