一只国产马桶盖的日本游 - 海外国人那些奇葩事儿
Recently, more and more Chinese tourists are flocking to Japan to buy a wide variety of goods from digital camera,cosmetic products,rice cookers to...are you kidding me?...bidet-toilet seats!
Akihabara has been regarded as the electric town in Japan for being a major shopping center for household electrical products. It has seen a surge in the number of foreign tourists now, especially those from China who travel there for shopping. "You have to rush to buy those toilet seats, regardless of the brand, because there will be nothing left on the shelf by afternoon." said Li Wei, an employee of a duty-free stores in Akihabara.
However,many research shows that almost all of those smark toilet seats are actually manufactured in China ! "China manufactures about 1 to 2 million smart toilet seats every year and exports most of them to Japan. Domestic sales amount to less than 300,000" said Ma, the director of RYOJI Business News.
Topic discussion reference :
1.Why Chinese are so fascinated by foreign products? Is it because made-in-China are that terrible?
2.Who should take the main responsibility of above ridiculous events?
3.Have you ever bought foreign products during traveling? Or oversea online ordering?
话题讨论参考:
1.你觉得是现在的国人太崇尚外国货?还是现在的国货真的那么差?
2.谁最应该对这种滑稽的现象负上主要责任?政府?厂家?消费者?
3.你去国外旅游的时候有买过外国货吗?或聊聊你的海淘经历?
Come to share your opinion with us ! This Saturday night, Haizhu Square !
