What's PDA?

We are thinking of going to Disney in Tokyo in a few weeks. If the boys remember to request off in time. It's interesting because they still have characters walking around but there is no hugging, no picture taking, no autographs. They are just there to look at and admire. So much different then seeing Mickey and running toward him is a stampede of 5 year olds. Nope, not here. 


That's just how the culture is. PDA isn't even a term here. They don't shake hands, they don't hug, they don't even hold hands.


I mean it's not right if I say no one does. Some of the younger couples have been influenced by the Western culture and hold hands when they are in the mall, or walking around town. But it's not seen a lot at all.


It's just interesting to see this difference in culture. After all, they are already quiet and don't tend to show much emotion, now they don't show their affection in gestures either.


I wonder how they feel loved? We are used to be told a thousand times, and kissing and hugging. And doing everything in our power to show how we feel. They don't. I wonder if they feel differently towards each other than we do.

(Also, Random fact: here, Stitch is more like their Mickey. I see more Stitch than any other Disney character.)
