Welcome Colgate University Students!
I talked to Colgate University Student. We talked about a difference of the life in Japan and U.S.A.
Q. When did you sleep with a parent in separate rooms?
-I said that I didn't sleep with parents from 16 years old. But she said that she didn't sleep with parents since she was born. We were surprised at each other's answers. In U.S.A, she took the bath by herself since a child, too.

How do you greet people in your life?
-I always say ''hello'' to other people.
Is is different for different people?
-Yes, it is.
How so and why?
-For example, I say to ''Ohayougozaimasu'' to an older person. But I say to ''Ohayou'' to the same age as me. Because the Japanese has the use of an honorific. So, we have to use an honorific to an older person.
Do you touch people when you talk to them?
-No, I don't.
Why not?
-Because I always only say ''hello''.
