Q:What kind of work place do you think you will work best in? Choose a country other than Japan and research and explain 1 aspect of their business culture that is different than Japan. Do you think it is a good practice? Why?
A:I will choose to work in New York. As you know, NY is the most glamorous city all over the world, where lots of work opportunities could be offered, and where I can grow maturely. Although many people say New York is a fast, money-worship city where the relationships between people are so indifferent, I still think working there is a good opportunity for me to get to know the whole world: the diversified culture, the edge-cutting technology, the advanced ideology, etc.
For me, it's rather a learning trip to broaden my horizon. Besides, since NY is a big pot that mixes different people and their culture, I'm very interested in knowing people from different background.

Dating
Responsibility,Job, and good-looking.
Responsibility: The relationship between 2 people not only relies on the feels we have towards each other, but on the responsibilities we bear in mind. Those who have a sense of responsibility will have a clear picture about where we should go, how we treat each other. He will not ignore you when you are in trouble, and he is mature enough to take care of you.
Job: He also should have a decent job and salary, so that we will not struggle for our life. Just as an old Chinese saying goes “Everything is miserable when the couple doesn’t have money”, which indicates that happy marriage life is still depend on your money, status, etc.
Good-looking: It would be better if he is a good-looking man, because it is our nature to love beautiful things. But it is also ok if his look is not that outstanding, and the only criteria towards my ideal partner is he should be taller than me.

Homework3-Answer the following questions
Q1:How do you greet people in your life?
A1:Just say "hello" to them.
Q2:Is it different for different people? How so and why?
A2: I think it differs. When back in old days, people in our country always greet people with a sentence like "Have you eaten?" while people, especially in western countries just say "hello" or "how do you do?". It may trace back to the different culture. We attach great importance to the food, so that's why we greet people with something related to the food.
Q3:Do you touch people when you talk to them? Why? Or Why not?
A3:I think it depends. When talking to strangers, I will keep a certain distance. Maybe this is for safety reason. But when interacting with my friends, sometimes I will touch them to show the intimacy between us, which draws us close.
