i am a bit disappointed with myself. i thought i could handle "accepting differences" more smoothly. i'm comparing many things here with what i'm used to in new york and the U.S.., and feeling not comfortable. clearly i'm out of my comfort zone in my home and the culture i used to belong.
to mention a few events i've encountered and could not understand in last few days...
japanese cell phone service/system made my eyes pop, but computer and internet culture is at their jurassic period. i had to explain what wifi is to my friends. they were so impressed and shocked at my ipod which cought their neighbor's unsecured wifi.
this news made me worry about applying to japanese media companies. an actor/boy band member got cought by drinking and streaking in a park. this news became breaking news and aired like it mattered to us. there are so many other things which people should know.
could i grow again to be able to accept differences and live where i don't belong? it might take a while...
