Compare Japanese Life with American Life

Compare Japanese Life with American Life

Sally Y

 I feel that there are a lot of difference in America. It is first time for me to visit the U.S.



First; big foods and different taste. In Japan, I often eat Japanese food. For example, McDonald's drinks are different size. American drink size is bigger than Japanese drink size. ad salad, I always eat salad with Japanese or sesami dressing. However, in the U.S., there are no these dressing, so sometimes I would like to eat Japanese food while I eat the lunch in Bethel.

Second; traffic rules. In the U.S., many cars have left handle and drivers drive left side road. In Japan, many cars have right handle and drivers have to drive right side. Morever, in the U.S., if the traffic lights turns rea, and drivers can turn right. If I do in Japan, I would be caught by the police.

Third; Education. In the U.S., people have four choise;. these choises are public school, private school, home schooling, or chater school. In Japan, we have only two choises, public school or private school. There is no private elementary school in Kumamoto, so I was surprised that my host sibling go to private school.

I am interested in all differences. I went to many seeing sights and go shopping. I love shoping. My host family take me many place and teach a lot of things. Though I cannot speak English very well, I talked to them a lot. Thanks to my host family, I can know many American culture.
