Interesting points of Japan

I have Malaysia friends. When I was talking with them about Japan, I realized new interesting points of Japan.

I asked them "Why did you come to Japan?". One of them answered "I aspired to go to Japan for a long time. Going to Japan was my dream". I continued to ask them questions such as, "What do you think about Japan?". A girl answered "Japan is very safe. I was surprised to see elementary school students going to school on their own. In Malaysia, students go to school by the school bus. Or their parents take their children to school". She continued talking, this time about Japanese fashion. She thought Japanese skirts were very beautiful. Girls in Malaysia buy Japanese magazines and they like to follow Japanese fashion.

A boy talked about Japanese food "Japanese food is very delicious. I always eat too much in spite of oneself. I gained 10 kilos since I arrived in Japan". I'm certain he is bigger now compared to when I first met him.

I enjoy looking at their photos. Their photo consists of ordinary things such as an entrance of a Japanese restaurant, flowers on side walk, egg sushi, my small car and the gate of my friend's house. These things are ordinary things but they are interesting for foreigners. I like to listen to foreigners talk about things that interest them in Japan. I can realize new things about Japan.
