Pre-reading: 1. She feels big and clumsy, she compares herself to Godzilla. It is hard for her to figure out all of the different shoes they wear. 2. Problems with the shoes. She makes a lot of fails in the bath, and puts the soap in the basket, which is for the clothes. She clean herself with soap in the bathtub which is like peeing in the pool and drinking milk from the carton. 3. the thing with the different shoes. she thinks that Japanese people take more care, and the americans just ruins it. 4. When the narrator takes a bath, the proprietress looked bemused at her, and just sat down the tray. they also looked at her in a despairing way. she is hopeless. 5. She fells embarrassed that she doesn’t know all the rules, and keeps breaking them. Everything that can be done wrong, she had done. 6. she is despaired but although she is positive, because from now on she can only do better. 7. it’s like a diary, but not really. Because it’s not written day after day. maybe it’s more like a memory (erindring), because she talk about her feelings and thoughts. 8. the one who is speaking is a woman that have been travelling, maybe around the world, but we only here about japan and the Ryokan. i think she is telling to everyone who hasn’t been in japan, she tells about the traditions. 9. feeling like a monster, when you visit another country not knowing about the culture and traditions. 10. Post-reading 1. she is making fun of herself, she is self-ironic, and i think it’s quite funny when people is that. 2. Japan do: use the different shoes right, only rest in the bathtub. don’t: clean yourself in the bathtub, use the same slippers in all the rooms. Denmark: do: clean yourself in the bathroom or wherever you want. take of your shoes when you’re inside. don’t: pee in the sink
