Title: Those Things I Got With Japanese Friends - An In-Depth Experience Report That Wasn't Serious
Introduction: Hey, hello everyone! Today I'm going to talk about a super interesting topic, that is, the days I get along with my Japanese friends. I have to say, these people are really loved, angry and laughing!
Body:
Did you know that hanging out with Japanese people is a culture shock and comedy. The first time I asked them out, I thought I was late. Who knows, they arrived thirty minutes before me! Looking at their pre-prepared appearance, I had only one thought in my heart: Dude, what kind of fuss is this?
Their respect for time is simply paranoid to the point. With them, my watch began to feel like it was living too meaninglessly—because it never had a chance to be late.
And then there's the eating. Can you believe it? I invited them to eat hot pot, only to find out that my Japanese friends didn't eat coriander. It stumped me. So I joked, "You don't eat coriander, no wonder the characters in cartoons are so slim." They laughed, but shook their heads firmly and rejected my "cilantro pitch".
The funniest thing about dealing with Japanese people is looking at their obscene expressions when they are embarrassed. Once a buddy stepped on my foot, that apology, more excited than winning the lottery, that expression, as if not only stepped on my foot, but even the eighteenth generation of ancestors offended.
It's a lot of fun to talk about the body. We Chinese boys are tall and stout (at least in fantasy), but what about our Japanese friends? Every time I take a group photo, I can feel the "cramped" air flow in front of the camera.
Don't mention the accent. When learning English, we have clear articulation and standard pronunciation, but our Japanese friends always speak English with a strong island accent. Sometimes listening to them is like listening to a song – even though the lyrics are often incomprehensible.
That's right, it's even more fun when it comes to tourist attractions. I remember once we went on an expedition to a place that was said to be "off-limits". As a result, I saw that our Chinese team was very excited, while the Japanese team next to it was silently conveying with their eyes: "This comrade, please regulate your behavior." "Hahaha!
All in all, it was a lot of fun to get along with Japanese friends. Through these personal experiences and small stories to share with you, you can also feel the subtle and interesting differences and collisions between the two cultures in a relaxed and happy way.
Finally, if you have the opportunity to communicate with friends from different countries, please cherish every moment where you can laugh with each other and create beautiful memories together!
After all, "the world is so big", we should look at it and feel the infinite wonder that every corner brings us!
