亀清旅館の外国からのお客さんはちょっとずつ増えています。まだ98%は日本人だが、今晩は今までの一番国際的でした。アメリカからの日系人、シンガポール人二人、ハワイからの中国人、そしてこのイスラエルからのロシア人8人。ロシア人たちの情熱さに感動しました。夜は大衆演劇を見に行かれた。笑顔で帰ってきた。写真やビデオをいっぱい撮ったから亀清旅館は気に入ってくれたようです。
Here at Kamesei Ryokan, our customer base is gradually getting more and more international. Still around 98% of our guests are Japanese, but tonight we had the most foreigners ever. There was a Japanese-American from California, a Singaporean from Portland, a Singaporean from Singapore, a 3rd generation Chinese from Hawaii, and this group of 8 Russians from Israel.
The Russkies impressed us with their warmth and friendliness. After dinner, they went to see the geisha drag show at Taisho-kan. They came back with grins on their faces. And judging by all the pictures and video they took of Kamesei, I'd say they liked our inn.
