  Having visited Japan a few years ago, I totally agree with you about the camaraderie. I was walking in Shinjuku looking for a coffee shop, then all of a sudden I hear across the street." Sista....Sista!  I turned and looked around to see a handsome African gentleman wave at me and happily shouted.."hello sista..."I see you." Have a great day! I waved back at him, smiled and wished him a blessed one. Before I knew what happened, I turned the corner, leaned against a building and just cried. I never felt so loved from so far away from home by a complete stranger who looked just like me saying.......I SEE YOU!

  This guy is 1,000% correct. Traveling outside of your country and interacting with foreigners and experiencing other cultures will definitely change you for the better.

  Damn, I'm really jealous of people who can just, organise their thoughts on the fly and speak so calmly and eloquently and put across their points so well.

  His grandad planted a seed in him to learn a foreign language. That’s so awesome.

  I'm African American (mixed), but one of my best friends is Japanese. She told me that the literal translation of the kanji for rice is "88 days". Its the amount of time it takes that one grain of rice to grow. So the Japanese are always reminded of the effort it takes to grow a grain of rice. That is why it's so rude to leave grains of rice on your plate. Because of the effort it takes to grow each and every grain.
