Does Japanese actually think that getting a little wet is going to make you catch a cold or something?

was this a reply to me and you didnt quote?

Kayle_x_Morgana said:

Ok then to your other post. Yes what do the others think about that. People from other countries moving to japan. Permanently. Not just help for a few years and leaving.

On average, how prepared are Japanese families on natural disasters?
For example, stock up food and drinks, torchlight, batteries

Do government give out leaflet/pamphlet to guide citizens about natural disasters?

How many people do you know that can speak English well, I know it’s required in Japan that they take a few years of English classes.

Do you really have high school bands with girls wearing bunny costumes (melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) and have maid cafe for cultural festivals

I see. Thanks.

Oh, is Kyoto as beautiful as they say?

Why Brazil tho?

How long does it take to make a bento?

Is it really that usual for parents to make their kids a bento for lunch?

Do they often look so beautifully arranged like in anime or more like a western lunch box, just with some stuff in it?

Brazil has a big population descending from the japanese. It is the biggest.
"Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside Japan.[8] According to the IBGE, as of 2009 there were approximately 1.6 million people of Japanese descent in Brazil and estimated at just under 1.5 million as of 2014."

There's a company with a lot of Brazilian people.

My mom said about 30 minutes.
Yes. Most of the students will bring a bento. Some students makes it them self, some buys bread.
Don't know what western lunch box is like, but it's pretty much like in anime, but more realistic.

wandererofnorth said:
For us Europeans they have that something. I always fancied gardens and overall calm feeling to it.

_Maneki-Neko_ said:

Thanks for both answers.
Well most western lunch boxes are basically just a plastic box with a bread with ham, cheese or spread on it, maybe some vegetables and a fruit or sweet, crammed into it.
I think it's pretty cute to arrange it like the japanese bentos.

Because there is so much incestuous relationship in anime, this is normal in Japan, there is no law that prohibits it there.

DrSexy said:
Are the japanese religious like in anime?

Full_anime_Fan said:
Does Japanese people say 'sorry' frequently like in anime.

Arin-san said:
What do you think of foreign exchange students? Are the Japanese people accepting of the fact that they are not from Japan, do they treat them the same as any other native Japanese person? How often do you see a foreigner in high schools?

Are they able to fit in with your culture? Now about the real question, are the high school girls from anime and real life Japanese high school girl similar in terms of personalities like Tsundere, Kuudere, Deredere?

Auron_ said:
Are there any channels or programs in Japanese television that regularly hold debates about issues pertaining to Japan? Also is the perception that in general Japanese people aren't very argumentative accurate?

Even though this was asked over a month ago (Edit: Oops, wrong year, sorry), I feel like replying this. Depends on what you mean by "awesome", but I've seen a couple of vending machine that I've not seen elsewhere (though this could also be because the "elsewhere" I've been do not have vending machines as commonly as in Japan and not as attractive price wise so I do not pay much attention).

1. I've seen a some vending machines that is one big touch screen (the drinks are shown on a display, and you select it by pressing on it).

2. Some Coca Cola branded vending machines has an app and you can make your selection and pay using your phone (you still need to be next to the machine so for me the main incentive is not having to use cash and collect stamps for free drinks).
