Oh Japan, there are so many things about you that confuse me. Like the way people can be really polite but also rude at the same time; or the way no one tells you when you're making a mistake until after you've made it because they don't want to embarrass you but you're still embarrassed either way and you wish they would have just told you before you made the mistake!Phew.
Anyways, back to the topic at hand and the source of my latest confusion: the little black bag. Well, it's actually not that small, but this one has quite a few things in it. You're probably wondering what's in this little black bag. What's in little black bags in general and why is this confusing Jeannette? What's confusing me, is how the Japanese can be really open with somethings, and really modest about others. Take for example all the explicit and not so explicit sexual nature of some of their anime. Really in your face right? But, when it comes to real life, super modest. What's in the black bag: tampons, but also hands soap and toothpaste. Why do I need to hide all of that? It's not like people don't know it happens and besides once everyone sees the black bag they can almost guess what's in their. I mean, really, it's a bag with punctuation marks all over it. Let's be real, Japan. Let's be real.
