Last summer, I went to Malaysia and Taiwan with my basic seminar members, and it was so exiting and interesting for me. (If you want to know about it, please find out the blog pages last summer.) During our traveling, in especially Taiwan, I realised two interesting differences between Taiwan and Japan.
First, there are a lot of motorbikes in Taiwan. Taiwanese often uses motorbikes, while Japanese uses cars rather than motorbikes. Moreover, a Japanese famous maker, Yamaha, produced motorbikes under (maybe) 550cc only in Taiwan! We went the factories in Taiwan and could see the process how to make them! So, we can say Taiwan has the culture of motorbikes.
The second difference was found in the bathroom! They don't flush the toilet with their used paper. They threw away it in the garbage can. The reason why Taiwanese do like that is the paper isn't enough thin to flush like Japanese paper. After I listened to the reason, I convinced.
Like this, differences among different cultures are very interesting for me. I like to know other cultures and to meet people. That was one of the reasons that I decided to enter SIS^^
