Japan: first Impressions






Post 1: report the first impressions of Japan. At first, for those who may pass by here, I apologize for countless grammatical errors and vocabulary that you should find. English it is one of the challenges of studying in a university abroad but I'll do my best to make you understand a little of my vision.

But lets get what really matters!I'm in Japan for about 20 days and each one of these brought me a completely new experience. The differences between Brazil and Japan go far beyond the geographical location, language, culture and customs.. While some of these differences are obvious others are hiding among details . I could spend a long time writing and reporting every single curiosity from what I already noticed in Hirakata, Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe but there are some facts that really made me feel impressive about the Japanese way of life speaking in terms of cross-cultural sight.

Place the coins in the exact amount for the bus?In Brazil it would be very difficult if there is nobody to confiscate. Leave the shopping basket on the bike without turning the head the whole time to ensure that your stuff is in the same place? Far from now, it seems that here you can feel safe in a certain way ( I'm trying to get used in trusting my environment ). Another interesting fact it is the concern for environmental clean-up not only at home but also on the streets ... The selective gargabe is part of everyday life.

Anyway, for now these are the first impressions I would like to leave here and I drew much attention as Brazilian and as a participant of it all.

Sorry, but there are some problems with your blog that make it difficult to read. Your English is fine but some text is block-highlighted and very difficult to read. Which is a shame because I want to read what you have written. You seem to be missing a photo, the disclaimer and the Creative Commons license as well. Please fix these things so we can read and appreciate your work.

Also, please set the default language to English.
