Hey there, D'Anthoni here. Culture is an important aspect of human nature. Nobody could survive without it. While staying in Japan, I will be focusing on specific things that compare and contrast against the american aspect of living vs the Japanese style of living.

As we arrived in the Narita airport, it was a culture shock. There were many new and different things that I had never seen before.

One of the things I found interesting about Japan was the amount of English used for directions, companies, and transportation. Many of the buildings and stores had English on their main logos, buildings, products, goods, etc. You would think that Japanese would be more common than English, but it's shocking to read most of the signs without translating them. In America we use some Spanish, but not as much as the Japanese use their English!

Anyways... Thanks for reading!

さようなら‼

Are there other groups with you? Where are they from? Do you have a set menu to order from or will you be able to order anything? What happened during the meeting and what you did as a group afterwards.
