A young woman sits alone in a coffee shop, drinking tea and reading a book. She stops for a short time to write some words on a piece of paper. Then she shows her words to a passing shop worker : “Where are the toilets please?” This is a common picture in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafes”, where people are not allowed to speak, communicating instead by writing on pieces of paper. Many people in the city like the coffee shop very much. In the silent café, just remember the only rule: keep silence.

A growing number of “silent cafes” appear in Tokyo. As we all know, the working pressure on the Japanese make them feel really need a quiet place to relax themselves. During relaxation, silence is what they want. The necessary communication is through paper with words on it. More and more young Japanese people prefer such a place to relax themselves.

The silent relaxation is not only in coffee shops. Even in some dancing halls, the dancers dance without loud music heard in the place, but silent discos（迪斯科）. All the dancers in such a dancing hall wear wireless headphones （无线耳机） connected with the DJ. The music can be turned up or down according to the dancers’ own need. It sounds really interesting.

Most people think it is a kind of progress in society to respect （尊敬） others, no matter what you are doing. If you have a trip to Tokyo, you can find such a silent café to relax yourself in silence.
