Today we had a guest lecture on Japanese culture and business, covering etiquette, work-life balance, and traditions. We also learned some Kanji and the importance of each stroke in forming meaning. After lunch, we had a marketing class focused on globalization and competition in Japan. Later, we visited a sky tower with amazing views, explored a bookstore, and ended the day at the Sony Museum, which featured exhibits on music, cinema, and video games.

After a short rest, I planned to try ramen for dinner but ended up falling asleep and missing it.
