Once I found out where I was going (and after I had looked up many vlogs about Japan), my thoughts turned to the Japanese language. I was intimidated (still am, actually), not just by the three alphabets that I have to learn, but by the vast cultural differences between Canada and Japan. From things that you would expect (eating with chopsticks instead of a fork and a knife), to the things that I've never thought of as something that others might do differently (not just having a single alphabet to write with). It's actually a fun learning exercise to find something that you take for granted, and then find someone or a group of people who either don't do that, or do it very differently.
Well this post got a little bit ramble-y, but I hope that it was a good start.
