Common things among American people who live in Japan

      Today, I listened to Hapa Eikaiwa Ep. 311, and in this podcast common things among American people who live in Japan was introduced. First, They were asked if they dye their own hair and wear some kind of wigs. Japanese people often care about the color of the hair, but American people don't think it noteworthy. This is the main content of the podcast, so I'm gonna introduce the English expression I didn't know. That's "I owe you one.". This is another way of saying "Thank you.".

    I listened to the same podcast too! He has a lot of interesting stories!
    I think the reason why Japanese care about foreigners' hair colors is that we have almost same hair color! Sometimes mentioning one's appearance makes him uncomfortable though.
    I keep it in mind not to bring up that kind of topics so that I won't offend someone.

Very interesting board game

 Today, let me introduce a board game called "Shogi". It is Japanese board game consists of 81 squares and 40 pieces. This game will end when either piece called "King" is taken. The rules of this game are very simple, but it is very profound. Once you remember the rules, you will play this game throughout your life, so why don't you play with me?

Good Movie

     A movie that I really liked was "Your name.". The movie was made by Makoto Shinkai, who is a very famous animation director in Japan. The main character of the movie was Taki, who lived in Tokyo, and Mitsuha, who lived in Hida and they were both high school students.      In the movie, Mitsuha was saved by Taki from comets that were falling on Hida by changing the past. At the end of the story, Taki saved Mitsuha, and a few years later, Taki met Mitsuha and then asked "Your name,,,".      When I watched this movie, I was 15 years old and a junior high school student and I was very fascinated by the movie, but I don't know the exact reason for it. I infer that the age of me and Taki and MItsuha was very close to my age, so maybe I felt a sense of familiarity.
