Asking for a favor

  Hello beautiful reader? Hw are you feeling, is your week okay? Last week you were really pretty today you look a little bit tired. Take rest. So starting to talk about the topic, last class was about how to ask for a favor. It sounds simple, but the way we ask can be very different depending on the culture. In Japanese culture, people are very polite and careful when asking for help. They often use soft words so they don't bother the other person. For example, they say things like “もしよろしければ” (If it's okay with you) or “ご迷惑でなければ” (If it's not too much trouble). They try not to be a burden.

Work in Japan

 The last class we learned about work in japan and the amount of time Japanese people focus on their work, we saw a very interesting video that reflects the amazing amount of time they spend working. For me the most interesting point I could identify was the hierarchy and how the newbie in Japan has to do so much more job than the senior.  For me the job responsibilities and conditions are excesive, to contrast with Mexico, the wages in Mexico are less excesive but the payment is worse, to contraargument the life expenses in Mexico is lower and the amenities it offers in general are more generous. Bigger homes, cheaper food, etc. Returning to Japanese work culture, it is impressive but also concerning. While discipline and commitment are admirable, the pressure placed on workers may come at a high cost to their health and personal lives.

Shopping & Masculinity vs Femininity Post

 Last week we talked about shopping culture, it was interesting to see that some people want to be treated almost like gods, as I am also a customer service related career I don't ask much from staff, as long they are polite and friendly I'm happy. In Mexico for example people is really nice and the workers and shop owners just start talking with you and asking about your day and how is life going, It's a really close and warm relationship with the seller that gives you more fidelity top the shop. On the other hand it seems that Japan has a more cold blooded service, but I think this only applies in some cases, I personally have experience warm experiences with Japanese vendors, luckily to be honest. I have some friends in Family mart and when I travel I have became friend with local sellers, sometimes even receiving presents and courtesies from then. Maybe because I'm a foreign that happens to talk their language, or maybe they like to be warm and are just shy about wh...
