It sounds funny that the forigners are amazed by that bathtubs automatically fill up to a certain level, stay at a constant temperature and talk to you in another room to let you know when they’re ready.

But it is true that many Japanese also loves these confortable functions, my wife said her one of the most impactful thing she really missed is about bathtubs.

I also agreed with her to the certain extent, but I can choose our own apartment without bathtubs.

I read a very funny and interesting article on the web;



And found that the phrase "Otukaresamadesu", which most Japanese workers should use in the daily life in natural way, is really interesting.

The meaning of phase is like you are tired, but Japanese just want to say, “Hey, guy, you worked hard today, buddy. I appreciate that, friend,” without feeling all weird and awkward about it.

Otsukaresama lets you do just that in a way that no English phrase really could.  on second thought, this is really funny and kind of weird.
