Culture Shock and Confusion：Japanese transport and custom "ASSESS"

 Before I traveled to Japan, I had learned Japanese for a while and could master some simple words and greetings. However, after I went to Japan, I still encountered a lot of cultural shock about Japan. What struck me most during my few days in Japan was that unlike Australia, the Japanese METRO never fails to arrive on time. In Melbourne, almost all METRO trains are a few minutes late, so it doesn't matter if you don't get to the train station on time. In Japan, without exception, all trains arrive on time, even in torrential rain. This also reflects the meticulous spirit of the Japanese people. At the same time, to my surprise, public transport in Japan is generally very quiet. On the train, only the tracks seem to be heard. Even when they are talking to others, they try to speak in a low voice so as not to disturb the people around them. In a word, in Japan's public places, Japanese people are very cautious, they care about other people's personal space. Although this rule is not enshrined in law, everyone seems to be obsessed with it.

There is also a very interesting cultural shock about Japan. In Japan, there are various fast food convenience stores selling beef covered rice, but in Japanese stereotypes, these fast food convenience stores are often with a male color. Once a single woman enters the store, male customers tend to stare at you with strange eyes. It seems that these fast food convenience stores are for male manual workers.
