Talking to a teacher over lunch today I asked her what Japanese university students usually do for food. Eat out or cook or go to a canteen, etc. Her answer was that she had never lived away from home. This lead on to her telling me that her parents would only let her study in this prefecture and thus commuted to uni. She is twenty-seven, a junior high school teacher and has never lived alone. She still has to be home by 10pm every night. I think her subjects are social studies and geography. But how can you teach kids about life if you haven't lived?
