Is Japan a country with a uniform culture ?

Today is a Japanese holiday.

I was walking around a park and bumped into children wearing baseball uniforms.

They bowed to me and said, “Konnichiwa!”

I was a little surprised. In Tokyo, people don’t usually greet strangers.

Well, maybe their coach taught the children to greet anyone they meet.

Even in Japan, which is regarded as a country with a uniform culture, there are differences.

I come from a small town in Hiroshima. Children there also greet strangers.

They don’t see many people on the street LOL, so they feel they should greet. They even ask strangers, “Where are you from?”

I took it for granted, but since I came here, I gradually forgot it.

Walking in a park on a holiday in Japan, I felt a little new.

I feel it in Japan.

So what I feel when I travel abroad is twice as new as in Japan. That is the charm of travel. 

I will need to travel abroad

Thank you for reading
