Reflections on Life in Japan by Taras A. Sak: Seeing Eye-to-Eye with
Japan
I had been told many times that Japanese people do not like to make
eye contact, but it was not until recently, while teaching a course at
my university on making academic presentations in English, that the
truth of this cultural difference really hit home. You see, I had
never really tried to teach this sort of thing before (i.e. giving
advice such as "please look at your audience!"), and I found it a
more difficult task than I had originally imagined it to be. On top of
that, I returned to the US during my summer holiday and was able to
observe, firsthand, how the two cultures differ in this respect.

Japan, Here and Now by Jacqualine Kurio:
Repopulation - Migration to the Japanese Countryside

Since WWII the countryside in Japan has been slowly depopulating. The
push to rebuild the country's infrastructure and kick-start a capitalist
economy required vast numbers of people to migrate to the cities. With
new-found wealth and a different outlook borne from a more metropolitan
lifestyle, those who left seldom returned and land which had been handed
down from father to son for generations began to find itself at the end
of the line with no one to take over.

Terrie's Job Tips:
Information Security - Party Two: Commonly Asked Questions

Until recently, Japan has not been particularly serious about personal
information and security of that information. Part of the reason was
because people trusted each other, and another part was because even
if someone did get their hands on a personal information list, the most
they could do with it was to sell it to one of the underworld list
brokers - something that the average person would never consider.
