Yes. The breaks between classes are actually pretty lengthy. Maybe about 10 minutes or so.can a student read a manga in school while in break time?
what is their favorite country outside japan?
Wouldn't this be incredibly subjective, as it depends on the preferences of the person? That's like asking what country outside of America that Americans like, or what country outside or say..Australia do Australians like. You actually seem to think that all Japanese think the same way.what is their favorite country outside japan?
In all honesty, I'm not too certain. Aside from the library at the schools I worked at, I haven't the slightest idea, but getting down to it, I doubt it would even be necessary since there are other places that are a lot more convenient to go for manga aside from manga shops or hobby shops. You can buy them at places like the conbini (convenient store), and there are many conbinis around, like 7-11.Pardon me for leaning toward the subject of pop culture, but is it common to find manga in libraries in Japan? If yes, what kind do they usually have (classic manga, popular manga, etc.)?
The garbage sorting x 3. :lol: Seriously, though, definitely the garbage thing. I didn't have too much trouble with anything else. Shopping was easy enough. I knew enough Japanese to get by where that was concerned since it's so basic. I guess going to the doctor was difficult because of the language barrier, but I was lucky in that regard. Oh, other thing was probably opening up a bank account, but I opened it up through the post office instead.@SSJ_Jup81 What were the top three things that you had the most difficulty adjusting to while you lived in Japan?

Is it really that different concerning garbage? Like, there isn't a lot of garbage cans out on the streets, or am I missing what you're getting at here?The garbage sorting x 3. :lol: Seriously, though, definitely the garbage thing.

Oh, I know! How polite and nice people were and how much they really seemed to care about whatever establishment or company that they worked for. It was very nice to see how much they took representing their companies very well. They really did act as ambassadors to their companies, like in the store they help you if you ask for it and seem very professional. This took a while to get used to because back here at home, I just wasn't used to it. You hear/see people complaining about their jobs all the time. Over there, I'm under the impression that most don't or wouldn't because it'd make the company look bad.
The sorting of the garbage is very time consuming and sometimes confusing. You have to sort it a certain way or else it won't get picked up at all. You also can only have certain type of garbage out on certain days (depending on where you live). There burnable garbage, non-burnable garbage, rubbish type stuff, glass/can, etc. Everything is categorized, but there are some things that's difficult to figure out how to dispose of it. For example, I had a small broom I wanted to get rid of. I had no idea which type of trash it was considered. I went to ask about it at information and even they were stumped. I had packing peanuts too (from a package I received from overseas) and I also had no idea how to throw it away or what type of garbage it was, and just assumed that it'd go where styrofoam would (non burnable plastics).Is it really that different concerning garbage?

Well, that's a good question. I don't know, but seems that since this seems like a Japanese mentality thing (harmony and all that), it just might. In public (like most employees, I'm sure) they act like a good representative of their company, and maybe very different behind closed doors.Even at places like gas stations and the like? I'm aware that Japan and other Eastern nations are more collectivist minded, but I didn't know if it extended from CEOs all the way down to cashiers.
I'm pretty sure that it's called a kusudama (薬玉).I know about about its purposes in celebrations and other events, but what is this ball called?
^I'm talking about this.
