Similarity's and differences.Japan is unique in its own way when it comes to culture. There are just something's you just cant do any where else not just that but there are so many differences between Japan and AU.

For example a traditional tea ceremony and Kanto Matsuri can only be done in japan and nowhere else. That’s something you cant do in AU

But if your lucky there are some thing that you do somewhere else or even around the world.

For another example there are things that are the same even though there are more differences cars are the same, they both have are in a first rate economy and even though Australia has less people in its country they both have a low birth rate.
