nippon japan. the land of the rising sun.
japan truly amuses me. the people, their prominant culture, their advanced technology and of course the endless shopping streets.
the japanese have very mobid fascinations.
they put great emphasis on their toilets,trains,food,vending machines and of course their self-obsession.
all these may make them out to be a country with high-end technology which may eventually lead to a lost of culture and tradition.
yet they prove us wrong. the japanese are able to come up with toilet bowls with various functions and yet stick to their traditions.
we may be unaware that they still sleep on their ancient tahtami mats and still prefer sushi to any other kind of food.
at the same time, their trains have plane-like seats which are able to rotate 360 degrees and toilets which are more pleasent than that of our SIA planes.
almost all japanese have salon-hair and make up on their face.even students in uniform. even the males look more feminine.the only thing which differentiates the two genders is the fake eyelashes.
despite the self-obssesion, the japanese are very courteous people.
they would stop, bow and sincerely say sorry if they accidentally nudge you unlike singaporeans who quickly say a soft sorry while continue walking.
yepp...theres more actually but i'm getting quite lazy....haha...
ohya! and 90percent of them don't speak english.yet they have a booming economy. wonder why.
