| So in my hometown, it’s very common for the school kids to go home in the lunch time to have lunch and take a nap and go into school in the afternoon and when I go to America and go to Japan, I don’t find this culture in other countries, then I feel taking nap is a culture of my hometown. I really enjoy taking nap in my school days. |
