1. WHEN DO CHILDREN USUALLY LEAVE HOME?
It depends on the people and families.
I think people usually leave home at 18 or 22 when they graduated from high school or university. But I'm still at home..
2. HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE IN YOUR HOME?
5 people live in my home: my father, mother, grandmother, uncle and me.
3. DO YOU HAVE A HEAD OF THE FAMILY?
Yes, my father is the head of the family. He goes through procedures for almost everything, though my mother has more power in my house.
4. WHO DOES THE HOUSEWORK?
My mother does almost all housework, but she goes to work from Monday to Friday. She is the busiest person in my house so my father and I often help her when we come home early.
5. WHO RUNS THE FAMILY?
I think my mother does. Because she works in and out of the home and handles all of the finance business for my family.
6. HOW MANY ROOMS DO YOU HAVE TO SLEEP IN?
There are 5 rooms to sleep in. My parents' room, my room, my grandmother's room, my uncle's room and my grandfather's room (used to).

HOMEWORK - Working with Different Cultures
WHAT KIND OF WORK PLACE DO YOU THINK U WILL WORK BEST?
England is the best plase to work for me.
Cause i want to drink my love British ale with my friends or co-workers at a pub after 5. It is surely difficult to do that in Japan that is well-known as working overtime. I really need fun time or to rest everyday. And I think all of Japanese should have more rest, othe countries consistentry point out most Japanese work too much as well.

HOMEWORK - World Religion
1. HOW DO YOU GREET PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE?
I usually say "Good morning", "Hello" or "Good evening". Sometimes I just say that or other times I wave, bow or hug.
2.IS IT DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE? HOW SO AND WHY?
That all depends. When I greet my close friends, we usually wave or sometimes jokingly hug each other. I often bow for our elders or superiors, not wave or hug. My European friends often kiss my cheek or hand for greeting. I think it is very interesting that people always say "Ohayougozaimasu" in their PT job.
3.DO YOU TOUCH PEOPLE WHEN YOU TALK TO THEM? WHY OR WHY NOT?
I basically do not touch people when I talk to them. But, I unconsciously touch them sholder or arm when I am so excited.

HOMEWORK - Buddhism
My daily life is greatly affected by Buddism, but I'm not sure what is infilenced by it. Because the religion of Japan is mixture. Here is 5 things that I thought of.
1.I almost always sit on a cushion on a floor. Though it is just not to get a behind ache for me, it was used in religious rites by priest.
2.I put up my umbrella on rainy days, but it was for Buddihist ceremonys.
3.Since I was a child, my grand parents often say "Eat it up!" I'm sure that is related to Buddist ethos, mottainai.
4.There is a small dish with salt in the toilet to protect my family against evils. Although I don't know whether that is affected by Buddhism or not, I guess salt is related to Buddhism.
5.Japanese cuisine is supposed to delight the eyes as much as the palate. This is drived from Buddhist doctrine which deprecated the argument about the taste.
