How do you fall in love with someone??

Hi guys!

Sorry for the late update!

Christmas is coming 2 weeks later, and there are a lot of couples in everywhere!! Sooo jealous!!

How do you spend Christmas day and with who??

I think Western people spend with family and Asians, especially Japanese people spend with boy/girlfriend.

Though I gonna go to Taiwan to meet my Taiwanese friend in Christmas this year, I had a terrible memory in Christmas!! It happened last year!!

It's really like the lyric of "Last Christmas"!!

Last Christmas I gave wonderful and expensive present with my heart, but the very next moment he gave me a MisterDougnuts' schedule book(This can get for free)!! →

What do ya think??

Even though we are in the same Japanese culture, I got a big culture shock!!! Huge culture shock!! haha

This is not what I am gonna talk today. I gonna talk how people fall in love with someone or how people become a couple.

The other day, in my class, I found that there is big difference of that between cultures.

In Japanese culture, we get a phone number or e-mail address first to get to know the person you like.

But, this is totally different with American and European cultures!!

They talk with someone you like directly to ask go out!! I think this is related to the difference of communication style, because they are low-context language and we are high-context language. For that reason, we need to take long process to go out with someone but they don't.

I don't know which the better strategy is, but if a boy speak to me directly to go out I feel he is a playboy!haha

Christmas is coming~~!!

Hey, guys!

It's getting colder day by day, isn't it??

I could not update my blog because I had caught a cold.... Sorry!

As I said in the title, Christmas is coming!!! Yay!!

Since November started, town is covered with beautiful Christmas illumination!!

Then, I went to Universal Studios Japan last weekend to see wonderful and romantic Christmas illumination!!!

Unfortunately the weather was not good, so I was not able to see the whole Christmas show there, but big Christmas tree was really beautiful!!

When I was seeing the Christmas tree, I was also thinking why Japan ( or Japanese people) likes Christmas so much. Because our country is not christian, and even we are Buddhism country.

Moreover, it is really weird thing that we cerebrate New Year as Japanese ( or Buddhism) way like eating soba in New year's eve, and eating traditional food called Osechi in New year day!

But, we cerebrate Christmas with Western way like decorating trees, eating Christmas cake, or waiting for Santa.

I think those things really represents Japan isn't religious country. It is good thing to accept new things from outside, but it is more important to keep having own characteristics or beliefs.

I still like Christmas, though!haha
