My honeymoon in Japan

Things which i have learnt!

1. the streets are extremely clean even when u can only find 1 rubbish bin in God knows how many kilometres!
2. the people are extremely courteous. they bow to everyone b4 they enter the elevator and bow to everyone in the elevator before they get out.
3. the mosquitoes here are deadly. I have been bitten more than 10 times and each bit is at least 1.5 times the 50-cent coin in Singapore.
4. There are millions of temples and shrines interspersed among the modern building of offices and residential estates.
5. Somehow, the Japanese are very addicted to slot machines too.
6. Pace of life is not as fast as in Singapore although they are workaholics, I guess.
7. Japanese girls are extremely expressive and loud too in the way they express themselves.

My thoughts

1. Meaning of life amidst the danger of losing it in earthquakes at any moment
2. My vocation as a teacher versus something else. It always hurts me to see the poor on the streets and the less fortunate.

that is all for now....my feet are aching (standing to type this entry while waiting for the laundry to be done!)
