I was wondering after Peter mentioned the person who enters the elevator initiates conversation in Japan, if I go to Japan to visit/live there, I'm expected to speak when I enter an elevator or else I'm considered rude?

北海道もそうですが、東北ちほうの日本海がわでたくさん雪が降ります。
新潟とか秋田とかですね。私は北海道に行ったことがありません！でも１メートルくらいの雪は長野でみたことがあります。

In a real life situation you may become confused, so it is nice to hear how else a word can be used. A friend of mine, who is Japanese and lives in Japan, started learning English the same month and year I started learning Japanese. When we used to Skype all the time, we came up with the idea to take words and phrases and try to explain to each other how they are used. For example in English, "that was a piece of cake" to mean something was very easy to do. To someone learning English they most likely will not know this phrase. So that is why I find the uses of others words interesting. It is very helpful to hear slang words.
