Why do the Japanese sit on the floor to eat?日本人吃饭为什么要席地而坐？
Japanese people don't wear shoes indoors, so the room is clean enough to sit on the floor. That is called Chabudai. Japanese rooms have tatami mats. Japanese take off their shoes in the house, so they can sit on tatami mats because they are beautiful. Chabudai is a round and low desk. We put food on the…日本人在室内不穿鞋，所以房间很干净，可以坐在地板上。这就是所谓的 Chabudai。日式房间有榻榻米垫。日本人在屋里脱鞋，这样他们就可以坐在榻榻米上，因为它们很漂亮。茶部台是一张圆形的低矮桌子。我们把食物放在...

Because you have not checked a period that is long enough. if you look at a period that is long enough, you would find Japanese like to copy cars from America.

I love my husband, I really do but this past year we re vamped our laundry room and moved our smart litter box. As a result, we needed a way for the cats to get in without the door being open because of our kids.

Is it bad to read too many books?书读太多有坏处吗？

Yes.是的。

I read too many books. I buy more books than I can read so that I'm never out of books. And when I'm feeling too low, I grab a book without a second thought.我读了太多的书。我买的书比我能读的多，这样我就永远不会缺书。当我情绪低落时，我会不假思索地拿起一本书。

Yesterday, I went to a bookstore and I saw a book by Ernest Hemingway. It was costing me around 100rs more than the online price. I could've waited for one or two days and it would've been delivered to my place.昨天，我去了一家书店，看到了欧内斯特·海明威的书。我比网上的价格贵了大约100卢比。我本来可以等一两天，它就会送到我的地方。

But no.但不是。

I bought that book. I was feeling extremely low, yesterday night, and I couldn't put my heart and soul into any other book. I had to buy it.我买了那本书。昨天晚上我的心情非常低落，无法全身心投入到任何其他书上。我不得不买它。

I hate to be a person who leans onto someone at his low phase of life. I don't like calling someone and saying:我讨厌成为一个在人生低谷时依赖别人的人。我不喜欢打电话给某人并说：

'Hey, I was feeling very low. Can you please talk to me for an hour? Can you please stay on the call?’'嘿，我的情绪非常低落。你能和我聊一个小时吗？你能继续通话吗？

I've had bad experiences with people on this front. Whenever I was low and needed some help, people were busy. And I have no hard feelings for them.我在这方面与人有过不好的经历。每当我情绪低落需要帮助时，人们都很忙。我对他们并没有什么不好的感觉。

Everyone is busy these days. And that's why I rely on books.这几天大家都很忙。这就是我依赖书籍的原因。

The worst thing about reading too many books is you become self-centred. You don't need people. You like spending time with people, yes, but you like spending time with books more.读太多书最糟糕的事情就是你变得以自我为中心。你不需要人。是的，你喜欢与人共度时光，但你更喜欢与书共度时光。

Because, of course, it never lets you down.当然，因为它永远不会让您失望。

Reading too many books hampers your human relations, yes, but then again, it also keeps you alive!读太多的书会妨碍你的人际关系，是的，但话又说回来，它也能让你活下去！

We all are gifted,我们都有天赋，

Chinese characters seem very complex to write. Can Chinese students who hand write essays or exams write quickly? What do they do if they want to use a word but don’t know the character for it?汉字看起来写起来很复杂。中国学生手写论文或考试能写得很快吗？如果他们想使用一个单词但不知道它的汉字怎么办？
1. Most commonly used characters are not that complex. More than 80% of them are not complex and are used in repetitions. In fact you can read 92% of Chinese texts knowing merely 3000 characters; but to read 99% you need 7000. 2. The entire point of having an essay section in Chinese exams is to examine if…1. 最常用的字符并不那么复杂。其中80%以上并不复杂，都是重复使用。事实上，你只知道3000个汉字就可以阅读92%的中文文本；但要阅读 99%，你需要 7000。 2. 中文考试中论文部分的全部目的是检查是否……

Why does Japanese have 3 writing styles (Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana)? Are they completely different alphabets or are they connected?
Kanji, katakana and hiragana are all connected. At first, the Japanese only used kanji readings to represent Japanese. It's called Manyo-gana. Hiragana is a simplified form of Chinese characters used by female voices to compose poems and letters. Katakana is a form of Japanese syllabary used by monks to…

What's something awesome you've noticed about Chinese people?
Dedication. This is definitely the most admirable character of the Chinese people! I think dedication is a great thing, it represents a person's selfless, kind character, which is very rare and precious. Many Chinese I know value devotion and reject self-interest and individualism. From giving up sea…
