Welcome Back

It was the first day back in class. We talked about things that were different from Canada. A few people said that Japan was stinky compared to Canada, and because of all the city lights in Osaka, there seem to be less stars in the sky. Also, it seems so crowded in Japan and 'body space' is different in the two countries. About food, everybody said that Japan's food was more healthy, but they missed things like spaghetti, lasanga, and french-fries with gravy and cheese.

We talked about a couple experiences Mr.Walsh had when he returned to the U.S. One was that he thought he was bettter than other people because he had had all these experiences when all his friends had been in the same environment. Also, everybody wants to be nice so they ask you about the place you lived, but it's so hard to explain, and people don't seem to understand. The answer to both problems? Be nice to people.
