2010年至2014年我在東京學習,注意到日本和我的國家之間存在著許多文化差異,因此為了應對我的文化衝擊,我開始創作有關它們的漫畫。我希望我的漫畫能幫助更多像我一樣的外國人更好地了解日本和日本人民,並提高人們對我們訪問時可能需要做出的一些行為改變的認識。這些漫畫是我從 2012 年至 2015 年間創作的 300 多幅漫畫中精選出來的,並發佈在我的 Facebook 頁面上。我還將這些插圖整理成兩本書:《Eva、Kopi 和 Matcha》和《Eva、Kopi 和 Matcha 2.0》,可在亞馬遜和其他電子書平台(Kindle、iBooks、Google Books、Kobo)上購買。

水果
有人買過這麼貴的日本水果嗎?就像甜瓜或昂貴的葡萄...
自動販賣機
There are vending machines almost everywhere, even at places where life-forms doesn't seem to exist.
That's what I noticed the first time I came to Japan. I was walking on a street between empty field and there you had a vending machine in the middle of nowhere, nothing else.
Celebrating Christmas
Strangely Japanese celebrates Christmas not with turkey and ham, but with KFC...
Oh. OH!!!! Maybe this explains my mother-in-law!! We kept insisting "Do you not want something... more? We will get you any---" - "No. KFC." .. okaaay...
Clean And State-Of-The-Art Japanese Toilets
Smartphones
You can't turn off camera shutter sound on Japanese smartphones due to privacy and upskirt photo taking.
Actually, that sounds like a good feature, they should do this with other phones.
Tattoos
If the tattoo is small, it can be covered with plaster to enter into the public bath houses or swimming pool.
The reason is not that the person is thought to be a Yakuza. The reason is that you can't forbid only Yakuzas or they would get mad. In order to work around that, since they all have tattoos, this excuse was used. So if a Yakuza gets mad, they can say it's the rule, nothing against them.
Getting Off The Train
Kids After Finishing Their Food
Active Elderly
Seven Wonders Of Japanese
The 7th wonder can be found on my FB or blog.
I don't think you took the train in the summer ... I can assure you they are and look sweaty in the work suits.
Train Etiquette
Now this happens in the USA and it's very annoying. I've been at restaurants and had people at the table next to me with their smartphones cranked up loud so the kid who's hardly touched his food can be entertained.
Sayonara
"Sayonara" means goodbye but has a sense of finality to it, so don't use it to your clients!
Stairs
There is a great number of staircases and very few escalators and lifts at smaller train stations.
Impressive Customer Service
Maybe it depends on where you are in the US. I'm from southeastern Virginia and people definitely greet me with a smile and politeness. No bow though.
Office Toilet
I went to a Japanese company for an interview before I decided to leave Japan. When I went to the ladies toilet, I saw a nice wooden locker cabinet mounted on the wall with small compartments. I know Japanese are very particular about hygiene but to see a locker for toothbrushes and sanitary stuff is a whole new world for me...
Designated Smoking Area
Sushi Rice
Somehow sushi rice will fall off when you eat outside of Japan...
Japanese Speak English
Based on the real story at a sushi restaurant...
Kids In Trains
That's in the USA too...people letting the kids run wild on public transportation.
Hairdresser
Actually, the company (?) who wrote this, Evacomics, actually is part of a monthly school magazine thing in primary schools in SG. So probs is just a joke. Anyways, as a Singaporean, I dun feel offended. Just feels relatable honestly.
Load More Replies...This seems to basically be a "have a dig at Singapore" comic. It's just dissing Singapore. And all of Malaysia. And also the US.
