Introduction
Hello there!
Which looked like this. Well at least the part I could see from my window.
So, when people ask me, in which subject I'm majoring, you basically get the same reaction everytime. Its like: "Wow, so where will you work after you finished?" and sounds like: "Can you make money from that?" I honestly don't know. I know in which field I kind of want to work, but that is more or less everything. So maybe this statement has something true to it. I'm totally fine with this way of thinking.
But the reason I started to write a blog like this is a different one. As I already said in the beginning of this post, people have weird thoughts about Japan.
Like: "So, you ate weird things there?", "Aren't Japanese and Chinese the same?", "Can you tell people apart?", and so on.
I don't think these people have bad intentions, it is more like they just don't know better. I'm not mad, but I really want to do something about this. Just thinking in stereotypes is something you can hardly get rid off, but well at least try to understand a different culture.
It is maybe a drop in the ocean, but if I can make it happen, that some people get a slightly better understanding of Japan, my mission would be accomplished.
To all the people that stumbled across this site, because of interest in Japan or any other reason: Think about it for a while.
What do you really know about Japan?

This Blog has the sole purpose of creating a picture of Japan, which relates to the actual country, instead of things told by the media or the weird things people have in mind when they think about this wonderful country.
DISCLAIMER: First of all, I am not an expert in any given way, but I lived there, so this Blog is based just on my personal experiences and not relevant in any scientific way. And yeah, this is media too, I know, but for me it is just a medium to transfer my experiences.
Second: English is not my mothertongue, so please don't be mad if my grammar or spelling is messy^^"
