Much of what may seem strange to a European is the norm for a Japanese. Even people who are sincerely in love with oriental culture and this country do not always understand all the customs and traditions.
Instructions
Step 1
It's no secret that the Japanese are a nature-worshiping nation. During the cherry blossom season (Hanami holiday), places are reserved under the trees so as not to miss admiring this phenomenon. Celebrate the Day of the Sea, Earth Day.
Step 2
The Japanese are very sensitive to food intake. Despite the fact that there are few obese people in Japan, they eat heavily here. In Japan, it is not customary to have a quick snack on the go, you definitely need to calm down and focus on eating. Cooking many dishes is like a sacred ritual, so it is more difficult to simply “eat” here than to have a solid meal. It is also important that in Japan they eat a lot of rice, fish, seafood - this is a healthy food, thanks to which the Japanese look much younger than Europeans.
Step 3
The Japanese are very scrupulous about the issue of hygiene, which is why it is customary to take off your shoes before entering, and special slippers are provided for the toilet. In their homes, the Japanese wear white socks, and, of course, the floors here are perfectly clean. It should be said that the situation with housing in Japan is quite difficult, because houses and apartments are significantly inferior in quality to European housing, while real estate is expensive.
Step 4
The Japanese work hard and hard, but getting a decent job without connections is almost impossible. It is extremely important that a person has a higher education diploma, is loyal, attentive to the authorities - in this case, success awaits him. After work, the Japanese relax in bars and cafes, usually in the company of work colleagues - it is believed that this helps to strengthen the corporate spirit.
Step 5
Almost from the moment of their birth to the very old age, the Japanese strive for excellence - in everything. Living for themselves, resting and relaxing, the Japanese begins only after retirement. Funds for a comfortable life in old age are saved throughout life. Tax policy in Japan is quite tough, but despite this, the income of the average Japanese is high, and there is enough money - both for life and for deposits.
