“Enjoy Differences”

These days many Japanese people study or work abroad. Some people get mental sick because of the culture shock while other accomplished successful jobs. What made this? Why the former group couldn't get accustomed to the culture of their host countries? I think they have brought Japanese life style into those countries with themselves.

When I go abroad, I have three rules. Being accompanied with no Japanese people, carrying no Japanese food, and taking no photos. Surrounded by local people and behaving as they do make me forget I am Japanese, and I can easily get accustomed to the culture of the host country. So I can enjoy my stay 100%.

People go on a journey to enjoy scenic views, historical landmarks, local food, which they cannot do in daily life. That means they enjoy the differences. When you go abroad, actually, we might be puzzled or confused by different culture, such as way of greeting, eating, taking a bath…etc. But you can get rich personality during the stay. It will vary your points of views, improve communication skills. To encounter unknown culture is exciting, isn't it?

If you have an opportunity to study or work abroad, you should bring Japanese culture as little as possible. Therefore, you can easily adapt yourself to your host country. Intercultural experiences will bring you not stress but fun.
