The friendliness, the different culture
and the high food prices were just some of
the things Frederick Burghardt noticed
while he was in Japan.
Fred, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Mathias Burghardt recently returned to
Cranbrook from a two year stay in Japan
where he had been teaching Conversation-
al English and the Bible to the Japanese
people. Before he left for Japan, he had
been taking his Bachelor of Science and
Biology degree with a concentration in
drug identification at Andrews University
in Berean Springs, Michigan. He will be
going back there again this fall to finish the
work necessary to get his degree.
He went to Japan as part of a student
missionary program organized by the
University. The school is owned and
operated by the Seventh Day Adventist
Church. Student missionaries are given
different options as to where there are
positions in the world available for almost
any type of occupation such as typing,
construction and teaching music. The
program is a volunteer one in which
students can go anywhere from Germany
to Iceland, to South Korea, to Taiwan but
they have to arrange their own' transport-
ation and financing.
Fred didn't have the right qualifications
for some of the positions but he could have
chosen to go to Korea or Thailand as those
areas also have Conversational English
schools, but instead he chose Japan.
He had had some friends who had gone
to Japan and told him about their
experiences and he had always had a
feeling whenever he thought about going
overseas that he should end up in Japan.
Some of the things Fred noticed about
Japan compared to here outside of the
obvious culture, language and thinking
differences were that people were almost
always shorter than he was. In two years in
Japan he only saw about a dozen or so
people who were as tall as or taller than his
own height of 6'1".
No matter whether the people lived in
the country or city they were much more
helpful than North Americans. He said it
might have just been because he was a
foreigner to their country but he knew of
instances where the Japanese had gone out
of their way to help. He said sometimes
they would take you right down to the train
you wanted even if they were in a hurry
and were going in the completely oppostic
direction.
"They're very helpful," he said.
And one very different aspect of their
culture seems to be that while here we are
very individualistic,in Japan everything is
group oriented whether it be a family
circle, a company circle or a social circle.
And sometimes these overlap.
"There's always a group you fit into. If
you don't fit into a group you're an
oddball," Fred said.
Food prices in Japan are very expensive.
Some examples he gave of this were that a
case of American Mandarin Oranges could
cost $7-$10 in U.S. currency. Out of season
apples could cost $1 apiece and in season
six apples might cost $2.00. Certain foods
that were imported were expensive. For
, example a medium sized jar of peanut
butter might run between $3.50 and $4.00
a jar. They pick Del Monte products in
Japan so sometimes those products would
' be cheaper. In Japan they could get the
well-known brand names "but you pay for
it," Fred said.
Fred who at first lived with some of the
other students in Japan said they included
a lot of Japanese food in their diet.
"It was good. I enjoyed it and it was
cheaper," Fred said.
At first Fred lived in Osaka then later in
September of 1978 he moved to Harajuku
in Tokyo which is the fashion centre of
Japan where he was bored stiff because he
couldn't care less about fashion. Although
his term was only supposed to be for one
year Fred wanted to stay another so asked
the director about it and was told yes ,they
were opening a new school for Conver-
sational English and so he sta yed and
taught there.
He said it seemed to be God's will that
he stay there.
"I did learn a lot about myself and God
which is priceless," he said.
Fred's classes while he was in Japan
included special classes of Conversational
English for kids ages 10 till Jtinior High
school which is about age 14. And they
were just beginning to develop material for
Junior High School when he left. They also
had regular classes for anyone from high
school age on up. Morning and evening
classes were held. Morning classes were
mostly attended by housewives.
It was very talented, very educated
people who took these classes including a
heart surgeon, a physicist, people from the
oil industry and people from computer
electronics.
Fred said the Japanese had learned
English grammar in high school and when
it came to grammatical discussion and
analysis, "they could whip anybody. As far
as grammar goes they were very well
grounded. But they couldn't speak Eng-
lish. Their pronunciations were totally
gone," Fred said.
Tuition fees for the English class were
25,000 yen or about $110 for 11 weeks and
for a first time student the entrance fee was
8000 yen or $40.
