Hi,
I am not here to talk about all the Scottish nor Japanese people…but as my experience of the feeling what is the happiness of your life …
I am happy to live in Scotland, but I love Japan so much, where all my family there.
As a Japanese, I love the Japanese way of life. but I found the thought process here is much relaxed yourself, that is so different from Japan and Scotland…
A little bit of laugh is needed for your life that my GP told me once!!
And he recommended me to go to see “Rakugo”( Japanese traditional Verble entertainment ) in Glasgow! And that all I needed.
Myself, the very first encounter with Kevin’s ( My husband ) family…I was taken everywhere around the whole family within 5 miles in apart…
They were talking so loud and slowly ( lol ) and Kevin said, ” She is not deaf!! She can hear you! ”
All the family members try to communicate poor Japanese girl ( lol ), but I was so touched how warmly welcomed treated.
What Scottish people do is accept yourself are different from others, and if something unhappy about it, just let it out and laugh about it and live it together with your life…
These days Japan, accumulating more doubtful society…I found people think the difference from others make you unnecessary anxiety and make yourself out of place…that cycle should stop somehow…
Glen Matlock ( Sex Pistols ), Slim Jim ( Stray Cats ) at BBC1 Pointless quiz show final 21/7/2019 🙂 A little bit laugh!
I wish people in Japan would much relaxed about yourself and others shouldn’t care so much what people say about you and others ( try to thicker skin yourself )!!
You don’t need to be perfect to fit in all the time!!
Celebrate difference from others, and laugh about it!
You are you, right to enjoy your life. 😉
