Managing Cultural Differences
The culture in Japan is very different from our American culture. When vacationing, or living in the country as a foreigner, the difference in culture creates varying obstacles. Given that in today's age, technology and business have made it very easy to plan a vacation almost anywhere in the world, I think that it would be relatively easy to take a vacation to Japan. There are many different companies that can help plan vacations with plane tickets, hotel fares and travel planning. That being said, even on a vacation there are some obvious obstacles, such as verbal/body language differences, living situations, and transportation challenges. Even though there are obstacles, on a vacation they are easy to temporarily navigate because oftentimes, areas that are high in tourism will cater to foreigners and make things easier. Some examples of this can be having signs written in both English and Japanese, or the hotel living may be more similar to the average American hotel wit
