Michael DiGiacomo of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCnjiDqr3dcQB_GVPFXvqpSg\">Happy English Podcast.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael is a passionate English instructor with over 30 years of experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He started his professional English teaching career in Sendai, Japan, in 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then he&#8217;s worked in international education both in and out of the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s episode, Michael compares American culture and Japanese culture with Lindsay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He lived in New York for much of his life and has now moved back to Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay lived in Japan for a year and a half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both talk about the biggest differences they\u2019ve experienced between these cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-contrast-of-cultures\"><strong>Contrast of cultures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When Michael moved to Japan, the biggest change he experienced was the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He describes the typical American dinner as a combination of starch and protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japan, there is a variety of vegetables and fruit served with protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The portion sizes are also often smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They often serve rice, meat, soup, salad, and other vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-phrases-for-comparing-cultures\"><strong>Phrases for comparing cultures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Today you learn phrases to compare different cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will help you discuss differences between countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It allows you to connect while sharing your experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-in-contrast-to\"><strong>#1: In contrast to<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael shares that <strong><em>in contrast to<\/em><\/strong> the U.S., in Japan, the people don\u2019t barbecue in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast to Americans, people in Japan don&#8217;t grill outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is likely because they don&#8217;t want to bother their neighbors with the smoke or the smell of food cooking outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not due to disliking grilled meat, because restaurants all over the country allow visitors to grill meat right at their table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-apples-and-oranges\"><strong>#2: Apples and oranges<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This expression is used to compare two different things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael shares that we use the phrase <strong><em>apples and oranges<\/em><\/strong> in English to say something is extremely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means it&#8217;s so different it can&#8217;t even be compared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example is recycling, which is taken much more seriously in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is separated and a lot more effort is put in by consumers to prepare items to be recycled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When recycling a plastic bottle, they remove the label, the cap, and even the plastic ring under the cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottle, the cap, and the ring are put out for recycling on different days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-whereas-in\"><strong>#3: Whereas in&#8230;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a connecting phrase to show the difference between things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay and Michael shared that in the U.S., most restaurants are happy to customize your order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can ask for a salad instead of the vegetable that accompanies an entree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also ask for something to be removed or a variety of substitutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Substitutions are common in the U.S.,<strong><em> whereas in Japan<\/em><\/strong>, things are usually more fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, you order off the menu and special requests aren\u2019t as common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
