Knowing and following cultural traditions of the city makes it easier for a visitor to be accepted by the people of Tokyo” (Tokyo Culture).

As many know, the capital of Japan is Tokyo. The Japanese use the metric system like many European countries and their currency is the Japanese Yen. Japan is located on an archipelago just off the eastern shore of Asia and is surrounded by the Sea of Okhotsk, the East China Sea, the Sea of Japan, and the Pacific Ocean. Japan is slightly smaller
Kyoto served as the seat of the emperor for more than 1000 years until the Imperial Household moved to Tokyo in 1868. All Japanese try to visit the city at least once in their lives.

...ainment, Japanese culture, and shopping in the form of Japanese themed outdoor shopping malls, the Japanese American National museum, a handful of Buddhist temples, public murals that ooze culture and history, and an endless number of ramen establishments. Many experts talk about how contradictions bring about change and eventually reinvention, but the interesting thing about Little Tokyo is that the change is actually the source of new contradictions as the neighborhood struggles to maintain its cultural identity while also expanding and transforming to attract more leisure seekers. There is no question that change will occur in Little Tokyo, the question is, as F. Kaid Benfield puts it, “whether that change can be managed so that it inures to the benefit of Asian-American residents, institutions and businesses, and whether it will be environmentally sustainable.”

Julie says they have a very different views on work; they have a much greater worth work ethic. The Japanese she works with will be at work before anyone else is in the office, which is about 8 o'clock in the morning, and leave later than everyone else, which is about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. They really socialize while at work and then you show socializing at work as a bad thing, the American culture doesn’t view this as strictly as the Japanese culture does. When Julie first started working there she was started when she reached out to shake someone’s hand and they bowed toward her, and never extended their hand for a hand shake. She later learned that when Japanese meet someone new or come in contact with someone of higher power or that person is seen as someone to respect they bow to them; in America we would just shake their hand. Julie stayed that many of them smoke, " like a freight train", smoking is still common in the US however not like in Japan. Their eating habits are very different from ours, they don't overindulge in food, like we do. Also they don't eat a lot of sweets, they view sweets as a luxury. Julie says that they have a very professional culture; they communicate with everyone in a very professional/ formal way. As for America we communicate very causally majority of the time. She says they have a similar clothing style as we do with some slight

I would need to get my influenza Japanese encephalitis MMR and tetanus vaccines done before I move there. I would also need a work visa in order to stay in that country while I work. I would also need to respect the customs that they have there. According to matadornetwork.com some Japanese customs that I have to get used to include addressing someone with respect having table manners using chopsticks conforming to their general behaviorin making sure not to disrespect to any of their many gods and spirits. Well I feel like this would be difficult at first I'm sure I would be able to get the hang of it.
In 1950, only 13% of China’s population lived in cities (Seto, n.d.). Post 30 years, one hundred-million people moved to large cities from rural areas in China. This migration was considered the largest migration in human history. To compare this migration to western cities, the example of Shenzhen is used. For a Western city to have a population of three million to increase to ten million, it takes about a hundred years. 30-year old city, Shenzhen on the other hand made this population increase in just a decade (qtd. Caughey and Dawn). Today, over 53.7% of its population lives in cities; by 2020 it is projected that a whole 60% of the population will live in cities (Xinhuanet, 2014).
The Negative Effects of Urbanization on People and their Environment As our world becomes increasingly globalized, numerous people travel to urban areas in search of economic prosperity. As a consequence of this, cities in periphery countries expand at rates of 4 to 7 percent annually. Many cities offer entrepreneurs the potential for resources, labor, and resources.

Urbanization is the process of becoming a city or intensification of urban elements. Since modernization, the meaning of urbanization mostly became the transformation that a majority of population living in rural areas in the past changes to a majority living in urban areas. However, urbanization differs between the developed and developing world in terms of its cause and the level of its negative outcomes. Korea, as one of the developing countries, experienced what is called ‘ overurbanization,’ and it experienced a number of negative consequences of it, although it could achieve a great economic development by it. This paper examines how urbanization differs between the West and the rest of the world, the characteristics and process of urbanization in Korea, problems sprung from its extreme urbanization, and government policies coping with population distribution.
