Japanese culture

  There are many cultural differences between Japan and other contries.For example,it is natural for Japanese people to eat raw egg and raw fish. However,that is very strange for other country in general. Also "Tofu"is a characteristic Japanese food.Tofu is made of beans, so there are many textured vegetable proteins in it. In recent years,Japanese healthy foods such as tofu and natto are in the spotlight all over the world.
 
 　Not only food, the special nature of life in any country subsists in its customs.In Japan, there are many own customs.For one thing is "otoshidama".It is like a gift, but is entirely diferent.It can be only seen in the New Year's Day.Children can be given some money which is in like the small envelope by grandmothers, grandfathers, or theirs parent.I often used to get them in my childhood.
   I really want to receive them now....

The Work of my parents

  
 My mother is barber in my house.It has about 10 years  since my mother's barber shop opens. She doesn't have any employees,so we need appointment if you want to make your hair cut.In the house there are only my mother,so she is really busy.She has a one free day a each week.When I return to my house, I have my hair cut by my mother for free.I don't need money for that.  
  My father is like a transporter. He always go out at 7:00 and come back at 19:00. Surprisingly,he has two jobs. He deliver many newspaper in the early morning.He always wake up at 3:00,after he continue another job.He has past such life style for 10 years.I have really respect for my father.But, He doesn't say that he has a part time job to his company.It is a secret.Please, don't say that to someone!
