    As a teacher I visited schools in Japan. I walked into a classroom to find the children diligently working but no teacher. You could hear a pin drop.. They explained she was on her break. At lunch a designated set of children bought the food from the kitchen & served it to other students. Also at the end of the day all the children cleaned the schools. I can't speak for all of Japan but I was impressed with the city of Shingu.

    • @erestube
      @erestube 3 роки тому +6

      Teachers in Japan do not take breaks during class time--unless they are having a breakdown. Teachers may run off to get something, make copies, etc. or they may be taking the day off (but another teacher will cover for absent teachers). Something was lost in translation there. The only possible "normal" situation would be the accelerated classes preparing for entrance exams. But a teacher would not have "her break" at that time. Japanese teachers do not have scheduled breaks at all. They rest while working at their desks between classes!

    The habit of Japanese calling the color of green "blue" is not because of color blindness, it's because of one of Japanese traditional kimono dyeing methods called "Aizome".
    Ai = Indigo blue zome = dyeing. At the early phase of Aizome, the color of dye is truly green, and changes to truly blue ; indigo blue at the last phase.
    So Japanese think of blue color when they see green leaves.

      From the Chinese which is still used to mean young and youthful. But green actually has a new word from China pronounced midori. I think that one's from the Tang Dynasty. But it's still weird why Japan decided changing the light to blue to match Aoi was a better idea than just calling the light midori.

    I grew up in japan and I have some controversial thoughts about #16. I think bright side got it the other way around. Mayonnaise is VERY different from normal mayonnaise and it has special ingredients such as msg and using only the yolk of the egg. We do use mayonnaise as a dip or in salads. I've never heard of anyone put mayonnaise on pancakes or ice cream, where did you even get that from 😂.

      When I make mayo at home I tend to only use egg yolks also.

      I was just thinking that my friend, who has a colorblindness where he can't really see red (or the red content of other colors) would probably vastly appreciate the Japanese lights, because blue is the one color that he can see very well.
