@risa.rebuilds: In Japan, we often avoid saying “NO”. We have the idea of wa (和) — keeping harmony in the group. So instead of directly refusing or disagreeing, we often read the room and choose softer, more indirect expressions. For example, if you invite someone and they say: “If I can, I’ll go.” Somehow, we understand that it probably means no. But the confusing part is… sometimes they actually do come. 😂 Every culture has its good and difficult sides, and I genuinely enjoy learning about those differences. What kind of impression do you have of Japan? It doesn’t have to be accurate — I’d love to hear it🙌 #llifeinjapan #livinginjapan #japaneseculture #tokyolife #lifeintokyo
