Romantic Life & Short-term vs Long-term Orientation Post (AMOOOOR)

 So hello dear readers,

Hope you had an amazing week, again your coffee addict came to talk, and this week we will be talking about love <3

So, love in Japan is an interesting topic, the culture around it is really secretive in the sense that they don't use to show off the affection in public, Yet I have seen some couples kiss in starbucks. On my own experience I can tell that Mexico is a way to open country on love terms, love in Mexico is shown since kids, hugging, kissing in public our parents is so normal that on the future is reflected on the teenagers, 

So in most public places there are at least 1 couple "eating" themselves. Also is interesting, Japanese people also do confessions. In Mexico is the same usually you ask her dating to be clear, sometimes is not the case, but usuallly is because something shady is going on. The important dates are also there, except for white day which i think is unfair, makes men too safe, In Mexico valentine day is mutual so both risk it all. Sometimes they succed sometimes they don't

Today I'm not going to Hate Dutch Guy, not that much at least, I think indeed there are schemes of societies that value short and long term thinking, but I believe he is biased on the clasiffication, I highly doubt just by surveys without actually going to the country you have the Knowledge to judge and rank societies long and short term decitions and life styles. I think all societies have both in their plan, with both good long and short term goals and bad short and long term vices. 

Thnaks for reading and let me know your opinion

    I like seeing parents showing affection to children in public but it seems rare here. I think both Polish and Japanese people are reserved when it comes to showing romantic feelings so the level of affection on the streets seems similar

    Yeah in mediterrennean countries we also are used to hugs and kisses but in Japan even handshakes are considered super touchy so here I just often opt for a bow, I think it is pretty interesting how different the cultures can be in different parts of the world.

    Si bro la verdad es que en México somos un poquito más descarados pero no lo considero mal, al contrario creo que es algo bueno enseñarnos desde pequeños que los besos y demostraciones de afecto en público son algo normal, además los desnudos públicos son delito entonces no es nada descarado, pero creo que todavía tenemos una cultura muy tradicional o machista quizás? Y Aveces si se nos complica y nos da miedo declararnos porque no queremos ser el de la foto jajajajaj

Rest and Sleep

The last class we learned about the rest schedule and sleep of the japanese culture, it was really interesting to discover they don't sleep that much, in comparison I could say that the mexican culture sleeps more definetly but is not more than the average world sleep hour schedule. Personally I sleep 10 hours each day but it is not in one single sleep, I use to sleep in the bus, in the metro or even in the table at restaurants or coffee shops, I think is an skill I adquired by the mexican culture. I usually sleep 8 hours at night and then after meal I sleep around 30 min. And during the day I sleep 15 min whenever I can. My work as a cooker is pretty demanding so I need to have energy to last and don't cause any accident. The rest is important to each person because is the way the body recover their strength the brain restores the energy and develop unique activities like the segregation of ATP. Stopping from medical terms, rest is important to get to achieve our best performa...

Cram school and power distance

 Personally I've never gone to a cram school in my life, even though I'm not the smartest I never needed it, that maybe is because Mexico is not the strictest country in terms of education, which is good to be honest, I think the distance between different classes is not that big, you can hang up with anyone if you have the charisma you can make any kind of friends, on the other hand there's countries with higher standards and that make complicated hierarchies. That brings us to the power distance theory by the Dutch guy, I think it's a little dated, as you can use it as reference but you shouldn't use as a rule. I understand the concept but measuring a culture that way is kinda closing the perception to my own perception. I really like the class of last week, it was amazing learning and understanding about the cram schools the fact they are based on the objectives is really messed up, it reflects a lot the objective of education of each country sometimes overlappin...
