By now, most of our Fall 2015 students are settling into their new homes abroad and starting to notice key things about their new environments. In this Blog Post of the Week, Alex Nguyen shares five of the most notable cultural observations he’s made since arriving in Tokyo.

From tiny homes, to cleanliness and fast paced walking, Alex has a keen eye for pulling out some differences he’s noticed. Keep an eye on Alex’s blog for more revelations about Japanese society, and perhaps even some debunking of his personal observations.

Read the rest of Alex's post here.
