CULTURE SHOCK

6

I did a year of study abroad at a university in Belgium. It was pretty tough because I had to work hard at my French to be able to keep up with the rest of the class. I often stayed up really late studying, so sometimes I would fall asleep in class. One day, one of my teachers got really upset with me and woke me up. He said “If you’re coming here to sleep, you might as well stay at home!”.

I’m an engineer, and I was posted to the Tokyo branch of my company for three years. From time to time we had to make presentations to potential clients. The day before I always made a point of going home early, in order to get a good night’s sleep and be as sharp as I could on the big day. But my Japanese colleagues always stayed extra late on those occasions. That always shocked me, but I’m pretty sure they felt the same way about me.
