We're comparing the ease of finding specific interest groups in Japan and Rwanda. Do you think it's easier to find a samurai sword appreciation society in Tokyo or a competitive milk-drinking contest in Kigali?
Japan likely has the edge on niche interests. You can find clubs for everything from competitive origami to napping on bullet trains.
Napping on bullet trains? Is that a thing?
It's an unspoken art form. But seriously, Japan's dedication to tradition and quirky modern trends makes it a haven for hobbyists. Think tea ceremonies, bonsai, cosplay…
I saw a documentary about a subculture dedicated to dressing up as historical Japanese warlords. It looked intense!
Intense is an understatement. But Rwanda has its own unique draws: wildlife photography, gorilla trekking, and vibrant art scenes.
Gorilla trekking sounds incredible! Is there a "Talk to the Gorillas in Kinyarwanda" language course?
I haven't checked, but I wouldn't rule it out. Rwanda's tourism sector is rapidly developing.
Do they have K-Pop dance classes?
Probably not K-Pop, but Rwanda has a rich tradition of music and dance. You might find drumming circles or traditional dance troupes.
Drumming circles sound amazing! New life goal: learn to play Rwandan drums while wearing a kimono and drinking matcha. How can I find people to share it with?
You could start a YouTube channel! But both countries offer unique opportunities, depending on your passions.
If I'm passionate about competitive eating, which country is better?
Japan has legendary ramen-eating contests, but Rwanda might have amazing feasts too.
What about birdwatching?
Rwanda's biodiversity is incredible. It's called the "Land of a Thousand Hills" for a reason.
Both countries have different appeals.
Exactly. Japan has more long-established and specialized interest groups than Rwanda.
I think it's time to move on.
