A RIDE IN THE NEON SUN
Book ID/图书代码： 07980004B07849
English Summary/英文概要： It’s not easy landing unprepared in a country like Japan. The eccentricities of the calendar, the indecipherable postal system, not to mention the alien alphabet, language and culture, have all to be confronted before the disorientated traveller can feel at ease. Trying to ride a bicycle through the streets of one of the most congested cities in the world would seem to compound your problems. For Josie Dew, however, with over 200,000 miles already clocked up in the saddle few things could be more challenging - or for the reader of A RIDE IN THE NEON SUN, more wonderfully entertaining.
From Kawasaki to Kagoshima, Odawara to Okinawa, Josie discovered a nation rich in dazzling contrasts. The neon and concrete were there in greater abundance than even she had imagined, but so too were bottomless baths, love burgers, long-tailed cocks, musical toilet rolls, oriental Elvis’s, cardboard police and a sense of fun belying the population’s rigourous work ethic.
Far from being the reserved race that she had heard about, the Japanese welcomed her into their homes with bountiful smiles and bows - and skin-scorching baths.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 毫无准备的来到一个像日本这样的国家的确很不容易呀。年历中希奇古怪的东西、扑朔迷离的邮政系统、更别提那怪异的字母表、语言和文化了，这对于一位早就昏头转向的旅行家来说都是躲都躲不开的，要不然接下来他的日子就不好过了。要是你还得骑车穿越地球上最拥挤的城市之一的那些纵横交错的街道的话，你的问题就又复杂了。而这一切对于Josie Dew------一个已有二十万英里行车记录的人来说，没什么比这更具挑战意义----或者说对读者来说没什么比这更有意思了。
从川崎到鹿尔岛，从小田原到冲绳，Josie看到了一个有着如此眩目反差的国家。那里的霓虹灯、混凝土多的超出了她的想象，但同样多的还有摸不到底的澡盆、情人汉堡、长尾公鸡、音乐厕所卷筒、东方的猫王、纸板警察以及那掩藏了这个民族苛刻之极的职业操守的表面风趣感。
日本人可远不是她道听途说的那样矜持、缄默，他们会不惜满脸微笑、点头鞠躬欢迎你到他们家去作客---顺便享受一下灼肤浴。
