Why do Japanese people take pictures of right EVERYTHING?
It’s just due to the amount of cultural differences and the need for the memories. Japanese take photo’s of things like buses because the England Red double Decker is very famous and part of the heritage. They take photos of the people as we all look very different to them. They take photos of the local sights so they can show their friends where they went. They take photos of the food because it is different and easier to show a photo of a Cornish pasty then try to explain what it is. I could go on forever but just remember the main point that Japan is very different from the western countries and they want the photos for memories and explanation for their friends.
