Life in Japan is a life you can get nowhere else on this planet. The culture is completely isolated from the rest of the world!

在日本的生活是一种你在这个星球上其他地方无处可得的生活。这种文化与世界其他地方完全隔绝！

I live in Fukuoka City, something like Pune for India. Not big as Tokyo/Osaka, definitely not as international. It is a place which is Japanese, for real!

我住在福冈市，那儿就像印度的浦那，但没东京/大阪那么大，当然也没那么国际化。这是一个能让你真实感受日本人的地方！



The broth is made of pork mostly or the food will have meat/egg in someway or other. If you can manage to convince, you can get veg hotpots/pizzas/pastas/ramen/soba/cutlets depending on how busy the restaurant is. Other times, there is subway/dominos and convenient stores for bread and snacks. Vegetables and fruits are horribly expensive but if you grab one, it fills you up best and is always fresh and delicious. When you demand veg food, tofu is the prompt answer. Tofu is soy milk paneer (speaking in Indian terms). They can cook tofu in 100s of variations! Personally I am not a huge fan of Japanese food since I haven't adjusted to the taste well but many times I love it - especially when I am served momos and dumplings! So yes, it is a little tough in the beginning, but later you know where to go!

这里的肉汤主要是用猪肉做的，否则食物里会放有肉或蛋。如果你能说服别人让别人知道你在用什么，你也可以得到蔬菜火锅/比萨饼/意大利面/拉面/荞麦面/炸肉排等等，这些都取决于这个餐馆当时是否很忙。 是的。其他时间在地铁/达美乐披萨和便利店会提供面包和小吃。蔬菜和水果贵得可怕，但如果你看上其中的一种，它会让你吃得最好，而且总是新鲜可口的。当你要求吃素食时，脑中的第一反应就是豆腐。豆腐就是豆浆(用印度语解释的话)。它们可以做出100多种不同形式的豆腐！就我个人而言，我不是日本豆腐的粉丝，因为我没有很好的适应它的味道，但是很多时候我还是很喜欢它的-尤其是当我吃到尖椒和水饺的时候！所以是的，一开始有点困难，但之后你就知道该怎么应对了！

To talk about my other experiences in Japan, as a resident here,
People are super friendly and polite. Ask for directions and you are escorted till there. Extremely safe to do whatever you like, whatever. Please, thank you and sorry are the most commonly used words!

谈谈我作为这里的居民在日本的其他经历。人们非常友好和礼貌。问路的时候你会被一路护送到那里。做任何你喜欢做的事都是非常安全的。请，谢谢，抱歉是最常用的词

Streets are neat and clean. Everything is clean, rather. If the Japanese drop food on the restaurant table, they promptly wipe it with a tissue paper themselves.

街道整洁干净。一切都很干净。如果日本人把食物掉在餐厅的桌子上，他们会立即自己用纸巾把它擦掉。



If a Japanese wants to learn English/interested in knowing about anything outside Japan, they WILL approach you. And its your job ahead to charm them away!

如果一个日本人想学英语或对日本以外的某些事情感兴趣，他们就会接近你。你要做的就是吸引住他们！

Its hard to sum everything up in just a few words/lines. I will try to add more as I remember! Arigato Gosaimashta!

很难用几个词或几句话来概括每件事。只要是我记得的，都会努力尽可能写的完善点！
阿里嘎多搞砸你马斯（谢谢）！

Edit: I missed mentioning Manga/Anime.

Once on the train, I offered a man some Britannia Good Day biscuits. I was surprised when he grabbed 3 of them. He then told me that he remembered them from his trip to Nepal and loved them.
Another older gentleman I spoke with on the train had also traveled to India. So it appears that the Japanese have high regards for Indians.

有次在火车上，我就给了一个男人一些不列颠幸运饼干。当他拿着其中三个时我很惊讶。然后，他告诉我现在他还记得他们在尼泊尔的难忘之旅并爱着他们。另一个在火车上和我交谈过的老绅士也去过印度。因此，日本人似乎对印度人怀有很高的敬意。

People are extremely nice, polite and honest. As a solo traveler, I did not feel vulnerable or insecure at any point.
For people in Japan India = "Indo". So, if I was in Japan, I would be from Indo and not India.

这里的人都很好，很有礼貌，很诚实。作为一个单独的旅行者，我在任何时候都不会感到危机四伏或不安全。
对在日本的印度人来说印度=“印豆”。所以，如果我在日本，我嘚告诉别人我来自印豆而不是印度。



Cleanliness: Where we Indians are happy to litter, the Japanese are extremely clean. Even the streets in the busiest of markets are clean to the extent that they appear to be washed down 5 minutes ago.As an Indian, you will have to get used to not littering (if you do) and keep your trash with you until you see a trashcan.

清洁：在我们印度人喜欢乱扔垃圾的地方，日本人则非常干净。即使是在最繁忙的市场上的街道也是很干净的，以至于它们（垃圾）似乎在5分钟前被冲走了。 不，作为一个印度人，你不得不习惯于拿垃圾拿在手里不乱扔(如果你有的话)，直到你看到一个垃圾桶。
