Reverse Culture Shock

By Maiya
On March 24, I left MFWI at 4:30.  I felt 2 things that differences between Japan and the United States when I arrived in Japan.  First, Japanese food is healthy and fresh.  About a month and a half, I lived in the United States.  American food was very good.  I ate french fries, chicken, sausages, and so on every day.  I was happy, but my body hated them.  It was made a lot of pimples on my forehead and chin,  and I gained weight.  When I arrived at Haneda airport, I found a Udon restaurant.  I and my friends went to the restaurant, and ate Udon.  It has weak taste, but very very good.  I was proud of Japanese food culture.  I thought that we should eat a healthier and fresher than greasier food for our body.  Second, Americans have friendliness and kindness.  Of course, Japanese people are kind.  However, Americans are kind and talk to someone all times.  This studying abroad was my first oversea, so I learned about Americans personally directly for the first time.  When I went to the store, the clerk and I started talking and we were fun.  In Japan, the clerks say "Ilasshai- mase" every times, but customers start shopping without saying anything.  I think this is one of the not good parts of Japanese culture.  In short, these are the difference of the 2 cultures.
