Well the title “Lost in translation” speak for itself. They are human beings traveling in another country. They talk different in Japan, they look different and they eat different. But what makes them so different from an ordinary American? My opinion are first of all the fact that Japan and USA is located on each side of the globe and therefore there is a different climate which means that they do not have the same trees and animals as they have in the US. For an example people from Japan eats a lot of seafood and rice, and in the US they are known for eating unhealthy. They have some traditions in America that could be for an example Christmas. They don’t have Christmas time in Japan.
