I knew for a long time that in Japan that children and teenagers value school more then anything else but it wasn't until recently did I learn the truth. Here is a typical day; they get up and eat breakfast at home. They must either walk, take a bike or use public transportation to get to school, no school buses exist. They take their classes from what I heard in the same room every day, eat lunch they brought with them, no lunch room exists which contradicts the season three episode two where Guilmon eats all of the cafeteria food.
Clean the building which would explain why Takato and Jeri were mopping the floor before she explained her first encounter with Calumon in the nurses room. Continue classes then when school finally lets out they stay for after school activities sometimes staying as late as 7:30 at night before finally going home. Now, my question is if they spend all this time at school six days a week only having one half a day on Sunday I believe, how do any of the children have any time to watch all of the anime like digimon or pokemon or whatnot?
Seeing how they spend so much time in school I can't see how they have any time for free activities. Not to mention they actually like school over there unlike here in the U.S. where I live. Also, what about Nintendo, PS2 and XBOX? I read in my issue of GameInformer that all the new systems are going to Japan eventually and that they sell well there.
Once again, how do they have time to play the systems? I'm pretty sure that certain games are still linked to the minor age area like here in the West and I doubt adults play them. Does anybody here even live in Japan? Cause I'd like to know how anybody there who still goes to school has a personal life. Or is my information incorrect?
