TECNOINFO: Top 14 des différences illustrées entre le Japon et le reste du monde, un pays pas comme les autres

Evangeline Neo est originaire de Singapour, et elle a voyagé aux Etats-Unis, en Indonésie, et surtout au Japon, où elle vit. Du coup, elle connaît bien le pays et ses différences avec le reste du monde. Et comme elle est aussi illustratrice, elle a mis en scène ces différences dans les comics qu’elle poste sur Instagram. La vie est bien faite hein ? A la fin, ça donne quand même pas mal envie de vivre au Japon (même si on l’aime bien aussi, notre pays).

1. Les fruits carrés au Japon

Anybody bought the expensive Japanese fruits before? Like the melon or the insanely priced grapes... ... #Evacomics #evatheexplorer #patreon #webcomic #cartoon #comicstrip #japan #japanesefruit #kawaii #manga #mangadrawing #instacomics

2. Au Japon, ils mangent KFC à Noël

While foreigners were bewildered why Japanese celebrates Christmas by eating buckets of KFC chicken, Japanese were also surprised that the rest of the world doesn't do the same. This is the result of clever marketing from KFC Japan in the past that became an annual tradition. ??Please support me on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/evacomics), where you get first look at my comic strips!

4. Au Japon, c'est mal vu de manger pendant qu'on marche dans la rue

There is an exception if you are visiting a festival or fair in Japan where there are many street food stalls. However, people still tend to gather at one place to eat finish their food first before moving on ???? #evacomics #evatheexplorer #comics #onlinecomics #webcomics #manga #cartoon #comicsstrip #japan #japaneseculture #cultureshock #?????? (BTW, I originally planned to post a comic about the recent incident, but because I received a good reply, I decided not to go ahead but post on my Patreon account only instead).

5. On ne fait pas de doggy bags au Japon

Singapour et USA : « Je vais prendre les restes à emporter s’il vous plaît » / « Ok »

Japon : « Je vais prendre les restes à emporter s’il vous plaît » / « Désolé, ça n’est pas autorisé. »

I heard that no take away of leftovers from restaurants and buffet was allowed because of a major food poisoning that happened some years ago. Caterers and restaurants did not want to be liable if anything happens. ?Bento are ok because they have a expiry date and storage instructions on the packaging ?????? #evacomics #evatheexplorer #cartoon #webcomics #comics #comicstrip #japan #japanese #japaneseculture

8. La perception des distances est différente

Japon : 2 heures de route : « Cet endroit est très loin »

Singapour (et ailleurs aussi) : « Oh, c’est juste à 15 minutes d’ici » / « C’est super loin. »

Not sure why my "Our Perception of Far is Very Different" comic was popular last week :p #evacomics #comics #webcomics #manga #cartoon

9. L'habit de fait pas le moine

Singapour (et ailleurs aussi) : Un beau bâtiment, mais des toilettes dégueu

Japon : Un bâtiment un peu vieillot, mais des toilettes nickel

A bit exaggerated for Singapore but based on own experience! #japan #webcomics #comics #cartoon #manga #japanese

10. Au Japon, quand certaines personnes trouvent leur plat trop cuit, parfois elles paient et partent sans manger

Alors que dans le reste du monde, on va plutôt le renvoyer en cuisine et réclamer qu’il soit mieux cuit.

Many Japanese will feedback to the chef but some will pay and not eat, which is unthinkable in other countries~ #Evacomics #evatheexplorer #comics #japan #japanese #cartoon #webcomics #comicstrip #manga #??????
