日本はとても安全な国です。その理由の一つは交番がすべての町の人が集まる所の近くにあります

。

数年前に交番を直接経験しましたが。その時、携帯電話の電池が消耗していて田舎の駅に迎えに来てくれるはずの知人に電話する必要がありました。公衆電話が見当たらなかったので交番のおまわりさんに近くにあるか尋ねました。そしたら、公衆電話でなく交番の電話を使わせてもらいました。知人を待っている間、お水一杯頂いておまわりさんの英語の練習に楽しく付き合いました。

おまわりさんがが問題の時に交番にいることで安心します。そしてもちろん、彼らと又英語話を練習するのは大歓迎です。

Japan is certainly a very safe country. Perhaps part of the reason is because a small police station (aka koban) is a fixture in every town.

My only experience at a koban was a couple of years ago. My cell phone battery was drained and I needed to call an acquaintance to come pick me up. I couldn’t find a pay phone so I asked the officer at the police station if there was one nearby. He responded by letting me use the phone at the station and offered me a cup of water while I waited for my ride. The officer, eager to practice English, peppered me with phrases he had recently learned. I was happy to oblige him in English conversation for until my ride arrived.

It’s reassuring to know that the men in blue are there to assist if I ever have a problem. And of course, I would be more than willing to practice English with them in return.
