A Future Host Mom and Action Culture

In a country, where words don't mean a thing. Action does mean a lot here in Japan. Because with this culture being so indirect and not saying what's on their mind you really do have to trust your gut instinct and pay more attention to their action. I feel that in Japan friendship is defined more about actions and what you're willing to do instead of what you're willing to say. In America, it's nice to know that people are direct and say what's on their mind but words don't mean a thing if there's no action behind it! So overall, Japan is not about words it's about actions and American is more about words but not about action. But the irony of this culture is that even though this country Japan is a teamwork based society there's no trust hahah isn't that ironic. Team without no trust you can even ask a regular native Japanese person and they'll even tell you themselves that they don't trust each other. Other than that, I also plan on hosting a student in the future yes I would like to take in an international student into my home. I also vow to be the best host mom ever! I'm definitely going to spoil my host student and keep in touch with them afterwords. Shower them with practice of the language, travels and experiences. I want them to have the good experience of a good host family that I never had. So in other words, I want to give back! I'm definitely going to step up and look after them and definitely try to look after them too yah know. So your girl is going to do her best you know! Well that's about it chao!
