Japan schools 4-18-13

Lets see here in good old japan i went to school which is just a normal Japanese school. And if you from america let me tell you that school there and here are complete different. To start you have to wear a uniform everyday and you look like everyone around you. Which has its up and downs, for first i love waking up every morning and not worrying about what i am going to wear for the day because i already know:) but in america i love being different from other people with the way i dress at to show my personality and showing that i am different from other people. When i wear a uniform i feel like everyone is the same and nothing is different and no one is better or worst than anyone. Which if you really think about it that is a good think, but also gives you the feeling that your not better than anyone as the term advancing and being the best at something. Like being a robot in a way. Sorry i have been in japan for over 11 months and my english has gotten really bad.. But back to Japanese school another thing that is different from American schools is that every class is in the same classroom as in the teachers change the room and the students are always together and with the same people threw out the day. Which again has its up and downs. You dont really get to meet other people or know the school becuase you only hangout with your classmates but you get really close to your classmates as if your related. So its really what you perfer more to know more people or become better friends with and be friends for ever? I like both so cant really choose and everyone at the school knows me becuase i am the only exchange student in the whole school. Now for lunch in america well at least at my school we are able to leave campus and go eat somewhere for lunch with friends but in japan thats not the case. You mom makes you a think which is called a bento. And what a bento is, is its a lunch box that your mom makes which usually has rice, meat and vegetables:)  and my host mom is really good at cooking and always makes me good lunches. And at school you eat you bento's in class with you classmates but only in the class room like you cant go out side or to other classrooms, which i didnt really like, but its ok if you have friends. But if there was someone who isnt so out going i wonder how he feels having no one to eat with or anywhere to go i feel sorry for those people... And at school the teachers aren't afraid to totally yell at someone for some mistake in front of everyone. In america when a teacher is agnry with a student he pulls him or her aside and talks to her quietly about the issue but not in japan the teachers make sure everyone knows what they did wrong and shouldn't do it again, which at first kinda scared me, i mean i dont know what i would do if someone did that to me:O but its there way of life and i cant judge them and say it is wrong. So besides that schools is great you get to know your classmates very well almost like brothers and the teachers are all kind and willing to help everyone and the schools are always super clean as for you have in school shoes that you have to wear. And they have a good school and its not bad at all i have grown on it and actually enjoyed it alot and probably going to miss it when i go back to america. :)
