What fun...a class that shows videos!
It's not your average class style videos though.
We have been watching a series called "Begin Japanology" which you could probably find on youtube or somewhere else online.
The series does what it sounds like...
It teaches about Japan. There are many aspects to Japanese culture, in case you did not know.
It's that little country on the far eastern side of East Asia.
Weirdest part is that this particular video is about convenient stores...
While the concept came from America, as the starting group made a contract with a convenient store company based in Dallas, Texas (I think it was 7 Eleven), Japan has made it their own idea.
The founder of convenient stores in Japan was confident that this would be successful in Japan, but they were leaning on the manual they were going to get... That was why they made the contract, for that manual.
It was all common sense...
This stuff was all common sense to the founder, so he was taken aback once it was translated for him.
He signed into this...became a licensee for this manual...and the manual turns out to be a freaking training manual!
It's okay, he made it work.
It became more efficient and more convenient than American convenient stores.
To learn more, go find the video...
Now...watching another video in one class?
Ekiben...what's that?
Ekiben = boxed meals that are sold at train stations/stops.
The merchants sell them through the windows so travelers can try local cuisine.
Looking at all of these indulgent foods...I'm hungry...
Shrimps...octopus...blowfish...clams...crabs...
I'm going to die!
Octopus and blowfish don't appeal to me well...but watching the host eat rice with clam...is driving me crazy...
LOL
If you've ever wondered about another culture, I would suggest delving into a little of Japan through this fun series: Begin Japanology.
Any thoughts?
Have any knowledge on Ekiben, Japanese Convenient stores, or any other perspective of Japanese culture?

- How to use the register.
- How to greet customers.
- How to handle issues.
- How to sanitize the store.
