Japan is a beautiful country, and the Japanese are also beautiful yet calm people. Jamaica, on the other hand, is not only beautiful but also lively. This energy difference is only a small fraction of the differences between the people. If Jamaicans plan to come to Japan, there are some essential customs and traditions that one should know. This blog is a continuing series introducing you to the fundamental differences, social, business, and overall cultural differences between the two countries. The format will also let you easily differentiate between the two countries. These blogs are written by KerryK, A Jamaican living in Japan for six years and counting. With her experience and love for both cultures, she will allow you to peek into both countries through her eyes.
