All tourists should visit Japan because of the food, the animals, and the natural wonders. There are many different things to do when travelers visit Japan, and one of them is enjoying Japanese food. A staple food in Japan is okonomiyaki. The word okonomiyaki means “grilled as you like it”. It is like a pancake, and you can put a mixture of anything on it. Okonomiyaki is eaten as breakfast, lunch and dinner. Another food is mochi. Mochi is a common treat in Japan, usually eaten as a snack.…

At the end of part one of the novel Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata, Shimaura decides to leave for Tokyo the very next morning after spending the night with Komako. His reason for leaving was purely based on Komako. As Shimamura comes back from his bath, he and Komako get into a little discussion.

The Japanese American National Museum is a location for anyone to learn and experience the history of Japanese culture and its impact on society today. By observing the museum, people, businesses, and surrounding area, I argue that this location signifies Japanese Americans, which gives people a better understanding and appreciation for their ethnic and diverse culture.

America, a country known for stereotypes that consist of obese and lazy but yet generous people, burgers, and big things in general is a very different country compared to Japan where the people are thought of as diligent, where everything is small, and described as cute or “kawaii”.

Some similarities that the different nations schools have is that they both have various classes that are…

American and Japanese Schooling Japan and America, over 6,000 miles apart have quite a few differences in their public school systems. Each country’s cultural values are represented in the classroom every day, and students are so used to it they might not even be aware. Comparing the two school systems, it’s clear that the schools are designed to create a specific kind of citizen after their education. Japan seeks to create respectful youth, that will later work hard for their country. The…

This is not the same as saying…

Imagine pure pandemonium, as people are running around frantically trying to escape a moving subway train. People are dropping all around and there is no place to go. What they once thought to be just another daily commute, turned out to be a day that would change their lives forever. No one had anticipated Sarin gas being on those trains. Who had committed such a despicable act? It would not be long before police officials would figure out who. While Aum Shinrikyo also attempted attacks…

Today we have this story for you about cars-- American cars. And like most stories about American cars lately, it 's more tragedy than comedy, though there is some comedy in there, too. It 's the story of a factory in California that captures pretty much everything that 's gone wrong in the American car business in the last 30 years.
