- They are disgusted by foreigners, especially if our Japanese is bad. Japanese people are selfish in all things, unlike us who meet foreigners and ask for photos and kiss hands.
- Mentally and physically tired (squared) because we are required to learn more about the language in depth, the material in the book is very far from its application, especially since Japanese people themselves speak using Hougen (regional language)
- And the Japanese work rhythm is really fast pace, after work the entire office is cleaned by the staff in that sector… there are no janitors.
- The positive thing is that because work is tiring, you can really sleep and not overthink.
- My senior told me that even the Japanese work rhythm itself is hard for Japanese people.
- Sometimes, in between work before finishing, Japanese people like to give snacks.
- Until now I have never seen a Japanese person directly get angry at his Japanese employee when he makes a mistake.
- Foreign language lessons are not that important, unlike us where all languages are being worked on, don’t be surprised if their English is bad and even if they can… it’s thick with Japanese hatsuon.
- Japanese people have 3 faces, namely:
- With yourself, with family, with friends or colleagues
So don’t be surprised if the person who is angry at the office is very friendly outside of work.
I don’t know, maybe because I work in a remote area, Japanese people’s thinking is still old-fashioned. Are my friends in the Tokyo and Osaka areas more open-minded and accepting of differences in diversity?
