Small differences between Canada and a Japan
I'm often attracted to all the numerous small differences between Canada and a Japan.
Between Vancouver and Tokyo, they are VERY different cities indeed!
As a student of art and design - I appreciate differences in architectural design;
probably more so than most.
One interesting difference that I came across between Japanese and Canadian apartments or "mansions"
*besides the fact that Japanese call apartments "mansions" and not - "condos".
Is the fact that in Canada HALLWAYS are built WITHIN apartment buildings, with rooms on either side.
In Tokyo, most "hallways" or walkways are built on the outside of apartment building.
I'm not sure why this is. But this certainly gives Japanese/Tokyo apartments the look of having an "exoskeleton"....
as if they were wearing their structure "on the outside".
Have any of you ever noticed this?
Pretty cool, huh!?
See you everyone!
Yours,
Matthew
