1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?
I would say it depends. When I'm on campus, I don't think I judge people by their clothes so much since our generation is close and there are few differences among us. Of course there IS differences, but I think it's just personal preference of each person, so I believe that I can't judge people according to what they wear. However, when I'm on a train or at downtown, I think I do that. For example, if the person wear suit, I could guess the person is a member of society or is doing job hunting. Also, I sometimes judge if the person is rich or not. For example, if the person wear a quality leather coat or bland-name bag, I will think the person is rich. On the other hand, if the person wear shabby shirt and sit on the ground with some garbage bags, I will think the person is poor.
2 Do you think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country?
Yes, I think so because it gives us the imformation of the country. Since we usually don't know much about people from another country, we try to guess about them according to what they wear. For example, we may know what the weather like in their country, or what kind of religion they believe in by their clothes.
3. What colors are you wearing now? Do they reflect your mood?
I'm wearing blue and black now, and they are not energetic color. Indeed, I'm tired and not so energetic now, I don't think colors I wear reflect my mood really because I don't choose the colors depend on what colors I want to put on. For example, even if I think I want to wear bright colors like red or yellow, I think they are not proper to wear for my age but for more kids. Also, season sometimes has to do with color I wear. Since I don't choose colors I wear by the feeling at the moment, I don't think they reflect my mood.
1. What are some subjects that you will never discuss with a friend?
I don't talk about weight with a girl friend. I don't tell my exact weight nor ask her weight.
2. Do you have different friends for different parts of your life? If so, how are they different to you? Do you talk about different things? Go to different places?
Yes I have some different friends. For example, friends who have their baby. They seem adults for me because they are usually forced to be independent. They need to do house works, take care of their babies, and make dinner and so on. Although I usually talk about school, classes, or part time job with my similar friends, I talk about shopping malls, restaurants, or TV shows with friends who have babies. Also places I go with them is different. I usually go downtown and go shopping with my friends, but the other friends who have babies, I mostly just go to their house or a restaurant since it's hard for them to bring their babies around.
