kindness

One thing that really struck me when I arrived in Japan is the kindness of the Japanese people. here people are very cordial and friendly, respectful both in the workplace and in the street, it is truly exceptional. In Europe people are often rude and not very friendly, while in Japan almost anyone answers you with a smile and politely. I will certainly miss this Japanese way of life when I return home, but it made me understand how important it is to be kind to others and I am sure that from now on I will try to smile more often also in Europe!
