Trying to track Japanese plum wine I tried in 2013?
I don't know what brand you purchased at Kansai Airport, but maybe one of these on this page? https://kixdutyfree.jp/shop/products/lis... The plum wine is called 梅酒 (Umeshu) in Japan. The most famous company of Umeshu is チョーヤ (Choya) the same manufacturer of the above-mentioned products. The website of Kansai Airport above has online shopping system, but it's only for persons who are scheduled to use the airport (with exaxt flight number), so you have to find some other place to buy. I hear there are some Japanese supermarkets in London, and they must have Choya umeshu, though the rank of wine is ordinary (the one on the Kansai Airport website is a premium umeshu with royal honey). Oh I've found them on Amazon.uk!! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Umeshu-Spirits/s... The most popular one I usually drink in Japan is the top left bottle "Choya extra years umeshu." Try any of them. Hope you have a good umeshu life :) Choya umeshu TV ad: http://www.choya.co.jp/cm/kishu_te_30/
What is a unique job that you've only seen in your country?
I'm not sure if this would qualify as unique to my country.. But, its certainly unique to my place. I belong to Mumbai, India and the unique job that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world, but Mumbai would be hands down that of the "Mumbai Dabbawalas".A 'Dabbawala' is a person carrying a lunch box. Since the common man in Mumbai prefers to eat home-made food rather than outside food, these dabbawalas collect freshly made food in lunch boxes from the residence of their customers and deliver them to their respective customer's office. The most unique thing I find in these Dabbawalas is that most of them are not well educated (The average literacy rate of Dabbawalas is 8th grade). Hence, it is pretty obvious that none of them know any management theory. Yet, every person receives their own lunch box every day and no lunch box ever gets exchanged. This is governed through a unique coding system developed by the Dabbawalas. There is a distinguished mark (symbol) on every lunch box that ensures its delivery to the right person. Management:Dabbawalas move through the Mumbai traffic and up and down the multi-storied buildings every day to collect lunch boxes. They carry about 30-40 lunch boxes on thier bicycle at a time. Then, they reach the nearest railway station, where they gather to sort the boxes as per their destination according to the coding system. These boxes are then carried by different Dabbawalas travelling to different parts of the city via Mumbai local trains. They carry immense weight on their head since each crate carries about 60 lunch boxes. They move through the Mumbai traffic, the crowded platforms and in the jam packed local trains in extreme heat, rain and cold. Oh, I almost forgot! This is not over yet. These dabbawalas go through the same process again to take the lunch boxes from offices to their respective residences before 6 pm. Its a 9 hour work-cycle. They have done this for past 125 years, not stopping even for a day until in 2011, when they went on a strike to support Anna Hazare in his campaign against corruption.Its a great example of teamwork. The entire system runs on trust and goodwill. Sources: Dabbawala, Mumbai Dabbawala, A day in the Life of Dabbawala!
