🇯🇵🇯🇵 Come to Nostrasia in Tokyo!! 🇯🇵🇯🇵

There are some words in the Japanese language that express concepts that are unique or that are not emphasized in other languages or cultures. Here are 2 that work in a pair.

1. "Okaerinasai" (お帰りなさい): It is a word used to welcome someone back home, expressing a sense of warmth, hospitality, and acknowledgement of their return.

2. "Tadaima" (ただいま): It is a word used by someone returning home to announce their arrival. It is often met with the response "okaerinasai," creating a reciprocal exchange of acknowledgment and welcome.

Every time I return to Japan and see the "okaerinasai" sign in the airport, a sense of deep appreciation for this country and its people well up in me. 🙏
