Seeing this title, you may feel puzzled, or even surprised: our electronic payment method is also leading in the world, with Alipay, WeChat payment, no need to bring cash, how convenient.
In fact, I thought the same way before, and even saw that foreign countries have also started Alipay and WeChat payment in order to facilitate Chinese shopping, and I am a little proud. It wasn't until I saw a netizen ask such a question, which triggered countless netizens' ** and even complaints, that I realized that the seemingly convenient electronic payment method has been like an iron gate, turning many people away.
The question goes like this::Why do foreigners like to travel to Japan?
Friends who have been to Japan know that the streets of Japan are full of foreigners, especially European and American foreigners who are tall and have high noses. As a result, the streets of Japan are full of duty-free shops, and the staff can speak English and communicate without barriers, which has led to the prosperity of physical stores in Japan.
On the other hand, not to mention the depression of physical stores, even in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, there are fewer and fewer foreign tourists. Among the many reasons, there is one that can be said to have resonated with netizens, that is, foreigners in China have encountered "payment difficulties". The following is an excerpt from the comments of netizens:
Only Alipay and WeChat are supported in ChinaIt is difficult for foreigners to travel here。Not to mention foreigners, it is very unfriendly to our own elderly. Once I took 10 yuan to buy two bottles of water, and the boss said that I couldn't find ......
First of all, when a foreigner comes to China, he finds that the software in his mobile phone can't be used, and he wants to climb over the wall, and they don't even understand what the wall is, guess he still wants to come.
Foreigners pay attention to privacy, come to most places in China do not accept cash, want to do an Alipay, you have to get a bank card first, all kinds of certification, face brushing, do you guess foreigners can do it?
Let's talk about the major attractionsNow they all make reservations to buy tickets in advance, and foreigners won't eitherIf you can't buy a ticket, you just don't go!
It is inconvenient for foreigners to travel to China and need to **,Most hotels and B&Bs can't receive foreign guests, most restaurants and shops can't swipe Visa cards, many apps don't have English versions, no one can speak English when you ask for directions, and Google can't log inIt's simply a direct persuasion.
So, why do foreigners like to go to Japan? Aside from other problems, let's talk about things, half of the shops in Japan have Alipay WeChat, and then bring a credit card, add a Japanese Suiica card to the mobile wallet, then the bus and subway convenience stores are all covered, basically you can buy drinks without cash, at most one or two thousand vending machines.
This is a Japanese convenience store payment method, how should we feel about this?
I've also been to Japan twice, and the most surprising thing for me was not that Alipay and WeChat are available here, but that they pay in cash.
Once I went to a fast food restaurant and bought a string of chicken cutlets, the price at that time was a whole number, and in Japan it was a steel hammer for less than a few hundred yuan, and I just wanted to spend the change, so when I was counting the money to make a steel hammer, the clerk told meJust throw all the money in your hand into the automatic change machine, and it will automatically find it for you. Sure enough, I threw all the steel hammers in my hand in one go, and the machine calculated it for me, and spit out the excess, which was so convenient.
Therefore, many people say that they still want to go after going to Japan once, barrier-free communication, English menu, convenient transportation, many brand choices, **suitable,There are no fakes, and it is not easy to be slaughtered. Both the details of the service and the details of the facilities were very personal and attentive. For example, no matter what grade of public toilets, all toilets have toilet paper, which is a special tourist attraction. Heated toilet seats, can wash buttocks, and even some public toilets have the sound of running water to help excretion, some disinfect toilet seats, and some deodorize.
Therefore, the real convenience is not only convenient for yourself, but convenient for everyone. Now that China is exempting visas from Thailand and Singapore, isn't it also to promote the development of international tourism? But for now, there is still a long way to go, and we need to improve much more than the ...... of opening the door
