Culture difference


I went to an airport to pick a my friend Julie up with Anna and Tammy on April 29th.
When I waited for her, I saw a little boy who speaks English.
His name is Silas who is 4 years old.
(He wears yellow shirt in this picture.)
He was waiting for his dad with a Japanese girl.

When I spoke to him, he asked me my name.
He said "Nice to meet you!" and he tried to shake hands.
And he also said "I only speak English, can you speak English?"
He is really cute, isn't he?
In Japan, 4 years old kids don't introduce themselves well and they don't ask if I speak Japanese.

It seems I saw different cultures.
I think Silas knows people speak a lot of kinds language.
Maybe people speak to him in many language in his country.
It is really rare people speak to kids in different languages in Japan.
Maybe Japanese kids doesn't know there are a lot of kinds of language in the world.
