Just thought I would make a quick post of some of the little things that are different. First of all, the showers/ hot water in general. To get hot water in your shower, there is a little electrical panel in the back of the shower that you have to turn on and set a temperature to get hot water. I did not learn this soon enough and ended up not showering one day because I couldn't get hot water. Another thing is their malls/ plazas. They are these huge buildings with a ton of store, but they also have like grocery stores, bowling allies, movie theaters and just so much more stuff than American malls. Also, a lot of the doors are just sliding doors, like the door to my room and the door to the classroom. Lastly, you don't tip in restaurants here, or at least I have been thinking you aren't supposed to and haven't and just offending all of the places I have eaten at.
That's just a few things that kind of jumped out at me so far, but I'm sure there are more to come. I am very excited for our field trip tomorrow to Kyoto!
