We’re blogwalking in kaskus.us I found an interesting article about the people of Indonesia and Japan. I am posting this article to give an idea of how foreigners look at Indonesia and its culture.
This is only a personal observation from the experience of living in Sapporo, northern cold city in Japan, which is famous for its snow festival. Although Sapporo ranks third largest city in Japan, the city is quite far from the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan. Cycling little out of the city center, will feel the silence of rural even though they are met by a typical Japanese apartment apartment buildings predominantly of wood. A Japanese friend once said that in Sapporo clock ticking slower than Tokyo. That is, although using the same work ethic, people seemed more relaxed Sapporo compared with others in Tokyo. However, the typical Japanese ‘workaholism’ is also visible in daily life in Sapporo.
Saturday is a holiday in Japan (from work), but we will still see plenty of men in suits pacing in Sapporo Station (main station and located in the city center). Jas is the office uniform. That is, although the holiday, there are still many Japanese people, especially men, who work overtime. Even the same scene can we meet on Sunday. On Saturday and Sunday, especially in summer, will often be seen mothers and children walking around, enjoying the beauty of Odori Park, Maruyama, or other tamantaman. There are only a stroll, sit back and even playing with children. Odori Park is a city park along the almost 1.2 km, located right in the middle of town. In this garden, in winter, Snow Festival
held a very famous. Maruyama is a park in the city center as well, but not right in the heart of the city like Odori. In the center there is a small lake where people boarded the boat and in the summer, the garden center goods flea market (flea market). In winter the park was used where a simple cross-country skiing. What is interesting is rarely seen father of fathers who accompany the child and family play. Even if there are one or two, usually they are still wearing jackets, which means new home overtime. The same scene will be found in the subway and mall. Very little visible whole family, father, mother and son walking together.
Indeed different from the big cities in Japan, where family values are still quite high in Sapporo. Married, have children and family life, is still part of life that most of the population lived Sapporo. In contrast to what has been observed and described in Hiroshima, Kobe, Yokohama, and several other large cities. There, very rare to see families playing in the park or to see mothers pushing prams. Generally, they park in the park is dominated by young teens who play with each other.
However, like Japan as a whole, men were more dominant than women. In families, women are responsible for everything from taking care of husbands and households. Task husband was working for a living. Novel novels and films Japanese films, both old and new settings also indirectly indicate that. If one family will be traveling, then the istrilah who prepared everything. In fact, to prepare and incorporate all the things in the car was done by the wife. Husband stayed in the car and driving. What is often seen at the mall or at the park no less. Husband was never troubled with affairs of children. Children covered in food, dirty clothes, replace cap, clean face, and all the ‘little job’ done it all by his wife.
Apparently, how men are more superior than the woman had been seen since her teens. More than once seen, teenage couples, if traveling, then the burden of carrying the bag or more is a woman. Even one looks twice if there’s only one bike, then a man on a bicycle, while the women’s road!
That’s the Japanese culture and it seems there is no problem with it. This was evident, with a culture that already hundreds of years, the Japanese and remained ahead until like now.
Japanese women seem to view some of the cultural change it a little closer to knowing when Indonesian citizens living there. In Sapporo, there are many people oarng Japan, mostly women, often joined with family events and Indonesian students (many women because the men preferred to work and get drunk). They must observe the simple things that turned out to look fabulous with a culture that so far they live. The strange thing for them to see her husband do the dishes, or husband to bring groceries in a mall, or a husband who closed and locked the door when a family traveling, or husband to change clothes in the garden or feeding children food to their children. It is also remarkable for them to see her husband cook and prepare food for his wife, or playing with children while his wife sat down and read.
They also feel surprised if you see students were always delivered and not let students go home alone tonight night. Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. No worries for the home that night alone. They were more surprised if you knew the reason was not because of fear brought nothing in the way, but because they appreciate. They will also wonder if there are willing to give the bike to be climbed while hers walk. Once an event, we walked five, three men (MHS Indonesia) and two Japanese women. We all bring a bicycle accident. Half die we force and also convince them to adopt our two bikes. One thing that is difficult with the language is barely adequate and contrasting cultural differences. Frankly, when we offer not because to be gentle, but to get to their destination. But still hard so that we all walk and a little late to. In another incident, in a case like that, eventually we no longer offer the bike but firmly told, We take this bike or do not go.
Incidentally, in the event or discussion gathered together to discuss something, almost all Indonesian people, are those people who wants to listen and appreciate other people’s opinions. In each of their discussion, the Japanese people, generally quiet and obedient only. Perhaps because of language problems and also feels his position only as cheerleaders in the group. But we still and always ask for their opinion. We explain first what we are talking in the Unread Japan by a friend who can. And then we invite them to speak in Japanese and will be translated. They may not believe how we want to be bothered bothered to explain in their language and then hear the opinion of the group as their cheerleaders.
In many ways, they see that the Indonesian people have a better culture than with their culture, particularly in relation to men and women. Two of the three Japanese female friend if asked if you liked the Indonesian man, they replied that all three liked and wanted to marry a man even Indonesia. Most of the Japanese friends who often join those in the age is minimal in the late 20s, where the view of the opposite sex was not handsome and gagahnya but had more on his character. Evidence of how ‘conduct’ Indonesian men in Japan, is at least in Sapporo environment alone was found about six families, where her husband was an Indonesian.
Perhaps, by chance alone, the Indonesian people who come to Japan is one of those chosen. But if we know further with Japanese friends, we’ll know that almost all of them had never been to Indonesia, especially Bali. They already know and interact with Indonesian men ‘direct from the source’. And their opinions have not changed that Indonesian men respect women more than men in Japan.
So apparently someone Indonesia both eyes of foreigners, why do we keep the predicate tida as long as possible.? Be a good Indonesian, Indonesian people are always friendly, dignified, dignified and always share with others.
