Hello. I am Trent. I will be talking about bedrooms in Japan. Their doors are sliding doors. You have to slide the doors to open them. When they enter their rooms, they take off their shoes. Bedbugs are dangerous. They bite you in your sleep!!
Hello. I am Cameron. I will be talking about how the Japanese built their homes (in the olden days). The Japanese built their homes out of solid wood. They had wells inside their homes to provide water. Another fact is that they built their doors more solidly than we build our doors.
You can find more facts on Kids Web Japan.
In cold times in Japan, people use a heated table called 'kotashu'. Their mats are called 'tatami'. (It is a straw mat). When they go to eat their daily meals at a kotashu table, they must sit on a cushion called 'tataku'.
Goodnight everyone. We hope you enjoyed our segment, because we sure loved telling you about it. Keep listening to the other segments!
