Japanese

The difference between seperate bathrooms are that in Japan people have a different room for the bathtub and another room where you wash and get ready to take the bath, while in a traditional American home there's just one room for everything.
In Japan it's polite to take off your shoes before you enter anyones house, as where in my home you may keep your shoes on while you come over and visit!
The tatami in Japan is like a rug in America. The difference is that the tatami can be used as like a bed. You can put the futon on it and it's got springs and it very soft.
In Japan to have a tea party there is a lot of preprations that have to be made. Whereas I were to have a tea party i would just make tea and sit around and talk.
The Japanese gardens are made in almost every traditional Japanese house. In America it isn't necaccery to have a garden.
Here in America we have doors that keep out cold and keep in heat. In Japan doors arn't so privite and can hardly seperate tthe house from the outside!
