  • There are many dry cleaners in Japan. You don't need to worry about it. There is not prom in Japan, which is good for them. Actually I feel really sorry for some American high school students who need to get through such a pressured event in a sense.

  • Good point about the prom. It can be a VERY stressful time for the students and unfortunately, we see a great increase in the number of young student deaths at this time of the year.

  • Congrats!!!

  • Thank you so much!! I'm super excited! :)

  • lol PROM?? i went and hung out at a Boba place i frequented with a few friends.

  • I'm not worried, it will be a change for sure, but also a great experience!

  • More like "obey" than "think". One reason they have a big Otaku culture is that their education system never put much emphasis on self-expresson or individualism. Classes usually consist more than 40 kids and teachers just keep on writing on blackboard, simply there are not much discussions. And the school officials' biggest concern is not making big troubles. You will soon learn all these things, and you have to get used to them. Sorry, this sounds too lame XD. It's actually not that bad.

  • Ahhh, very interesting! I guess that is why the Japanese culture is so efficient, always focused on learning and working, no time to "feel," just "think."

  • Actually they immitated '70s Disco very quickly, and still there are so many dance clubs in big cities. However, those are for people like night life. The other reason is that kids have to work very hard during middle & high schools to prepare entrance exams, and schools do not encourage any "mating rituals" as conservtive officials and teachers think kids should only study, not date.

  • Would be interesting to see a Japanese prom, but yes, I have seen the lack of personal contact. Although, now I do hug most of my Japanese friends when I see them, but it wasn't like that at first.

    It's almost like they want contact but are afraid to go against thousands of years of cultural habits...
