jepang..
salah satu negara yang sukses ngebuat gue jadi freak tentang budayanya.
lagi iseng2 googling,laluu..
ahai ! nemu artikel ini,, pas baca senyam senyum gaje ,hihi

biarpun jepang terkenal budayanya yang "semau gue" di kalangan anak mudanya, tp yang gue salut rata rata orang jepang all out banget kalo udah buat sesuatu, ga tanggung-tanggung , dan mereka pasti punya style sendiri sendiri, lalu menjadi trendsetter, great! :)  


lalu apa perbedaannya ?


disini kita bandingkan dalam aktivitas sehari-hari , bahwwwaaaa .......

1. Ketika di kendaraan umum:
Jepang: Orang2 pada baca buku atau tidur.
Indonesia: Orang2 pada ngobrol, ngegosip, ketawa-ketiwi cekikikan, ngelamun, dan tidur.

2. Ketika makan dikendaraan umum:

Jepang: Yang kosong adalah bangku kuliah paling belakang.
Indonesia: Yang kosong adalah bangku kuliah paling depan.

4. Ketika dosen memberikan kuliah:
Jepang: Semua mahasiswa sunyi senyap mendengarkan dengan serius.
Indonesia: Tengok ke kiri, ada yg ngobrol. Tengok ke kanan, ada yg baca komik. Tengok ke belakang, pada tidur. Cuman barisan depan aja yg anteng dengerin, itu pun karena duduk pas di depan hidung dosen!

5. Ketika diberi tugas oleh dosen:
Jepang: Hari itu juga, siang/malemnya langsung nyerbu perpustakaan atau browsing internet buat cari data.
Indonesia: Kalau masih ada hari esok, ngapain dikerjain hari ini!

Jepang: Jamaah berebut duduk di shaf terdepan.
