Alrighty bois, its ya boy, バーニーせんせい. Back at it again with the Japanese Blogs. We're gonna hop across the pond and visit the wonderful nation of 日本！Unfortunately, we're not going to go visit the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto or the Shibuya Ward of Tokyo. Instead, we're gonna take a looksie at Japanese homes!! Get excited~
Japanese homes, right as you walk in, have a small depression of sorts called a げんかん, or mudroom. It is Japanese custom to take off their shoes before entering a house, often putting on special slippers. American homes traditionally do not have such a room, and many people leave their shoes on indoors in the US.
Once inside, many Americans would be surprised to see that most Japanese homes don't have carpet! The humidity of Japan could cause the carpeted floors to become musty and germy, so, more often than not, Japanese homes have wooden or tile floors.
Japanese homes also have rice cookers! Personally, I also own a rice cooker, but many Americans probably do not.
Rice comprises a much larger part of the Japanese diet than the Americans', so a rice cooker is a very convenient appliance there.
Well that's all fine and dandy. . . but we all know what you're here for. To hear about me! and my stuff! Well, you're in luck, cause that's what I'm about to do! But, there's going to be a twist. . . it's going to be in Japanese! Alright. . . let's see how this goes. . .
わたしのへやはKeough Hallにありますよ。へやの中にソファとベッドとテレビがあります。ときどきテレビをみます。ベッドの下につくえがありますよ。まいにちよじかんぐらいべんきょうします。れいぞうこもあります。れいぞうこの中にソーダがあります。
There's not much else in it. . . I'm a college student :/
