Cultural dDifferences

Last year, at the end of July, my friends and I went to Japan.

And dDespite the humidity ofbeing around 70-80% and the temperature ofbeing more than 35 degrees, we still walked around 200 km in 2 weeks.

For the last few days, we used anevery chance to sit somewhere just for a bit.

One day, we bought some cold drinks and stepped by an underground pedestrian crossing.

That's awesome!

It had a roof, so we could hide in the shadows while thinking about where to go next and, We decided to sit on something that looked like a step where we decided to sit.

An elderly man even stopped with the intention to say something, but he seemsed to changed his mind and walked away.

I couldn't stand the feeling that we were doing something wrong, so I translated the signs, and it said "NoDon't sit, no,don't eat, noand don't drink."

I still feel embarrassed for our actions, and even the fact that this sign didn't look like an official sign (just A4 paper taped to the wall) without any English translation can't chill me outs spooked/scared me.

"For the last few days" is usually used to refer to the few days leading up to the current moment, so adding "of the trip" helps make it clear that it's the last few days of the trip and not the last few days of the present.

One day, we bought some cold drinks and steopped by an underground pedestrian crossing.

I noticed some Japanese writings on thea piece of A4 paper inside the punched pocket taped to the wall, but I was too tired to care about it.

"the A4 paper" wouldn't be right here because this is the first time you're mentioning the paper and "the" is usually used when you're talking about something that has already been talked about or that the listener is already aware of.

I still feel embarrassed forabout our actions, and even the fact that this sign didn't look like an official sign (just A4 paper taped to the wall) without any English translation can't chill me out.) doesn't make me feel any better.
