Growing up in America, I spent a lot of my summers at the library!

When school ends in May, a lot of libraries begin their Summer Reading Programs. Students go to the library and receive a colorful pamphlet decorated as a treasure map! The treasure map shows a road that twists and turns until it arrives at a large, red X. Along the road, there are "reading missions." The students have to complete the reading missions in order to get to the big, red X. The reading missions could be "read a book about an animal", "read a book that is over 100 pages," or "read a book without pictures." The missions changed with every age, so babies and older students could all participate.

Growing up, my mom took me to the library every week. Every week, I was allowed to get three books from my Summer Reading list in order to complete my missions. I would go through the library, hunting down books that fit that week's mission. I spent a lot of time reading during the summers! I wanted to complete all the missions before the end of summer. And by the end of summer, I had always read over 30 books!

The Summer Reading Program encourages American children to read books during the summer instead of only playing video games. By completing the different missions, I read a lot of different kinds of books. And I got to discover what kind of stories I did and did not like. And for every five missions, I received a prize. I won books, candies, toys, and more. If I checked every box before the end of summer, I could earn an even bigger prize! One summer, I won a little, talking robot because I read over 50 books!

Life is very different in Japan compared to life in America.

First, Japan is very quiet! Everything in America is loud: the cars, the restaurants, and the people. Cars play very loud music as they drive on the street. Large families talk and laugh loudly in restaurants. And people tend to speak at a high volume. Life in Japan is much quieter. The cars make a little noise as they drive past, but very rarely honk or play loud music. Restaurants are quiet, safe places. And Japanese people tend to talk quietly to each other so they don't disturb the people around them.

Second, Japanese food is not sweet. Food in America has a lot of sugar! I did not realize this until I moved to Japan. When I arrived here, I thought that the desserts had no sugar! I could not taste any sweetness at all. However, the longer I lived in Japan, the more I was able to taste the sugar in Japanese sweets. Japanese sweets have a more subtle sweetness, which means they are only a little sweet when you eat them. Now, when I try to eat American desserts, I cannot finish the dessert because it is too sweet!

Finally, Japanese people are very polite. Americans are known for being "friendly". They will talk to strangers and help someone who is short or elderly grab items on the top shelf at a grocery store. But Americans are not always polite. They talk loudly on their cellphones, play loud music in their cars, honk at people on the sidewalks, and complain loudly to servers in a restaurant. Japanese people are very polite. They are very mindful of the people around them. They stay quiet in buses and trains. They do not play loud music or talk on their cellphones in public areas. And they respect the servers in a restaurant.

I have enjoyed life both in America and in Japan. But I have found that it is very different living in another country. And I have grown to really enjoy and admire life in Japan!
