1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?
I don't judge what they wear.
Because, I think its freedom and we can wear any clothes what we want depends on TPO or our conditions.

2. Do you think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country?

I don't really thik so.
Because, usually we know people from foreign countries wear the clothes acording to their culture. But, Japanese people are quite strict to their clothes.

3. What colors are you wearing now? Do they reflect your mood?

I'm wearing a sweat and pants.
It's my pajama style.
I'm really sleepy now beacause of my sleeping styles.

a. Where do you go when you die?

we'll go to heaven when we died.
But, actually we're going to have laid to rest in the cemetery..

b. Explain why do Japanese have death memorial services 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, 7 years, etc. after a person's death?

I think that its just ritual of faith.
Japanese people believe Buddhism.
