Surprised!!!
What is the most unusual cultural custom you have experienced or seen? Do you think any Japanese customs are strange? If you could pick one custom from another culture that would become part of Japanese culture, what would it be?------------------------------I can't decide which is the most unusual custom. I'll write about one episode that I experienced in Canada. When I went to Canada, there was one thing I was surprised. My host sister was taking a bath and my host mother took her out from a bathtub. In the bathtub, there were many bubbles because she washed her body inside the bathtub. But without removing the bubbles, host mother took her daughter out from the bath. I was surprised. There ware many babbled with her body but her mother didn't care at all. I don't know that is common custom in Canada. It may happen only in the family. Anyway i was surprised.

i stayed in canada only for 2 weeks.so I don't know well about canada.Anyway I'll tell you about my stay in canada if you want.
In most Western countries, people use soap in the bath. I always rinsed off before getting out and drying myself, but I'm not sure about other people. Actually, though, most adults take showers instead of baths. Before coming to Japan, my image of baths was that they were for children and women who want to relax. So different, isn't it?
