LilBlueEyes, this was another fantastic effort on your part. I love your direct and succinct writing style.

Everything Tomo said rang true to me, either from my own personal experience, or from conversations with my own Japanese friends. But I think you did an excellent job of explaining some of the differences and contrasts for those who don’t visit the other Homes.

I was happily surprised to hear Tomo say that he feels American visitors are now behaving more politely in the Japan Home. I know that I and many others have been trying our best to get foreign visitors to the Japan Home to better understand how important it is to be on one’s best behavior there, and I hope that Tomo’s perception is one that’s shared by many other Japanese as well.

I am not surprised that he found us to be fascinating, I find the Japanese to be that as well. I agree with his assessment of our tendency to cause drama in Home. I have lost friends to that unfortunately, I believe many of us have by now. I just recently lost a good friend who left Home because of that fact. He deleted me but we have agreed to keep in touch through messages as I had nothing to do with it, in case he comes back sometime. He got tired of the drama and the lack of respect that many people show each other in Home, even though he had put a great deal of money into it, he left.
Seeing us through Tomos eyes gives us a perspective rarely seen here. Their culture is polite to the extreme, but yet very conformist compared to ours, so like any society it has its good and bad. Glad he took the time to let us see ourselves from the outside.

I find it to be crude; I sometimes will become embarrassed for the people involved.”

This. I don’t even have to be from another country to feel this way about such a scenario.

(I usually don’t drink Coke that much, either. Mountain Dew, on the other hand…oh baby.)

A former Physics professor …. in Home…. yes, that works for me. I shall hope to find Tomo. The discussion would probably be very interesting.

I am American and I do not drink Coca-Cola.
