76. What equipment do you need for your favourite sport?
A yoga matt is required to attend the class. You can do yoga as long as you have one matt, simple clothes and plenty of water. Nothing else is needed.

77. What is your favourite food? Please also explain why.
Yakiniku, Japanese grilled beef, is my favorite. Yet I love all kinds of food, and I don’t have any specific dislikes. I’m proud of myself for that.

78. Do you like cooking? Please also explain why.
Yes, I do love cooking. That’s because I was interested in how to improve it. I used to be frustrated with my bad cooking. So I called my mother for advice many times on the phone, then I learned some knowledge and practice the basics. Now I’m able to do it without any given recipe and kitchen scales.

79. What’s your favourie festival?
I have some favorite festivals. For instance, Karatsu-kunchi in Saga reminds me of a cherish childhood memory somehow. It is called “Okunchi” among locals, which is a Japanese tradition one.

80. Do you think festivals are important for a society?
I believe that festivals play an important role in connecting with people. People gather where people are, and cultures are born.

Hello!I'm Look, a guy from the vibrant and lively city of Hong Kong.

I've always been fascinated by Japan's beautiful culture and the balance between tradition and modern life. I would love to learn about it from a local's perspective and, in return, share stories about life in Hong Kong.

A little about me: I'm a curious person who enjoys simple pleasures—exploring new city streets, watching movies, and of course, enjoying great food. (I absolutely love ramen and sushi!).

To help us connect, I can communicate in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. For writing, I use English and Traditional Chinese.

My goal here is to find a sincere penpal for meaningful conversations. We can talk about our cultures, hobbies, dreams, or just the little things that make our day special.

I believe the best friendships start with a simple "hello". If you're curious and would like to chat, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I'm really looking forward to hearing from you! 🙂

Tipping is often defended as part of cultural tradition, particularly in North America. However, on closer inspection, tipping is not a genuine cultural practice but merely an economic arrangement that has been mischaracterised as such.

Historically, tipping emerged from a hierarchical society in which nobles would offer small amounts of money to their servants as an act of patronage. Far from being a celebration of culture, it was an expression of inequality and dependence. Its continuation in modern societies is therefore not a matter of heritage, but rather an outdated economic trick.

In contemporary practice, tipping complicates transactions and obscures the real cost of services. What appears to be a voluntary act of generosity is in fact a mechanism through which businesses shift responsibility for fair wages onto the customer. This undermines both service quality and economic transparency. Service staff are incentivised not to provide consistently high standards, but to focus selectively on customers who seem likely to offer higher tips. Employers, meanwhile, reduce their tax burden by keeping base wages artificially low and treating gratuities as external supplements. The result is a system in which workers are underpaid, customers are misled, and public revenue is diminished.

A more rational and equitable solution is to abolish tipping as a formal expectation. Instead, service charges should either be included in the price of food and drink or collected uniformly as a service fee. This approach ensures clarity, fairness, and accountability: customers know the true cost, workers receive stable pay, and the state can tax wages transparently.

In conclusion, tipping should not be mistaken for culture. It is a relic of feudal patronage that survives today only as a means of concealing costs and transferring responsibility. Modern societies should recognise it for what it is: a flawed economic practice, and one best replaced by a fairer and more transparent system.
