Normal in America… Rude in Japan

For example, the first one, walking on the street and eating food it's not like everyone in america is walking around eating the whole time you know i know people are kind of overweight in the u.s but we're not walking and eating all the time but there are many times where you can see it maybe in tv shows and movies and even if you live in north america it's

normal to see somebody

walking and eating it's not

rude it's not considered rude

yeah and i guess that's the whole thing where it's not considered where in japan

yeah

it is considered rude and this is definitely one point that when i came to japan i noticed when i was you know with my japanese friends i go to the konbini and grab an onigiri and i'm walking and i just start eating they're like mj like you We got to stop.

We either stay in front of the konbini or we go to the eat-in area and we eat there.

But we want to go to this park, so why don't we just use the time of the walk to eat this food? It makes more sense in this American mind.

I

mean, that's the Western thinking, the way of thinking.

You can move and eat at the same time.

But then do you know why it's rude?

In Japan?

Yeah,

I'm not 100%, but I

think I have a good idea.

I'm not

sure.

All I know is it might have something to do with littering.

Ooh, so that's one I have in my mind.

Yeah, it's a big like no-no where what are you going to do with that trash depending on how big it is or something.

Like, of course, I think

many

people could just put it in their pocket.
