I have this friend named Yoshiharu Takamatsu (nicknamed – “Yoshi” for convenience) from japan who is doing a research at my college for one semester. Getting to know him made me realize how different two people living in different countries can be. Our language, culture, food habits, social behavior, everything is different. One peculiar aspect that drew my attention was his punctuality. Tell Yoshi to be at the juice shop at 8. He’ll be there at 8! You wouldn’t even have to call him once to enquire where he is or how much time he’s going to take.
