on the train...
1)Look at the XXX. That's xxx.
2)Here is called XXX and there was a big battle called XXX in xxxx.
(actually 30 second walk from our school there is a place like that)
3)Can you see the building over there? That's my favourite sweet shop.
like these?  |
Right! Those all sound great

in order to make tiny bit of a change for this "too conservative" town!

That's a really good idea. I think on a lot of 'let's see Japan' programs, they focus too much on what people who don't live there think of the place! I'd always like to know more about what the local people think of where they live. After all, they know it best!

walking to the staion...
This is the vending machine for the train tickets.
(I was so stupid to say "bending" ! I was drunk too, but I realized that Im a real Japanese to make that mistake!)

Yes, 'the city' is fine, because that can mean the central area. Haha, I thought 'bending machine' sounded very Japanese too, but I didn't like to say :3
[quote=yumyumtimtam;824527 I meant that "Nagano" as a 県 (prefecture you call?)
Nagano city is in it as well as our city Ueda.
Nagano city looks big enough to me to call it a city, but
Ueda isn't really... it is 市 but it's very quiet and small...

It's hard to say for sure, because in the UK, a city is any 'town' that has a cathedral in it. That's why Oxford is a city, even though it's really quite small. For Japanese places, I think we tend to follow the clues given by Kanji, so 市is always city and 町 is town, and 村 of course is a village. Wikipedia calls Ueda a city, and the population is quite high, so i'd say it's a city.
