After My Trip to Japan


Japan was simply magnificant!! We really had a good time exploring the cities and enjoying the real ramen in Japan. Although communicating in Japanese is the main barrier (because most Japanese barely speak a little bit of English as they started to learn English at scholl at the age of 13 so this explained why), but it did not stop us from exploring the country and it's culture.

I guess that's the beauty of Japan was simply natural and original. They support to preserve and safe the environment from pollution... everywhere you could see recycle bins were placed in public places and most public toilets were clean, well equiped with tissue (apart from one toilet which I've been to in Osaka... it's terrible!! Don't even want to think too detailed into in.. :S ).

I have to say that Japanese religion is more like the Buddism... more or less the same. Both uses incens to pray, just that before you enter into a shrine/temple, you have to wash your hand and mouth to clense and clarify your mind and soul before proceed to prayer.

And I think the Japanese government cares a lot about his citizen. They adopt only the best policy which they've learnt else where from other country then applied it to their own culture. Their continues research into the health care reserach have given a lot of benefit and support to the people to live healthy and happily.

This is very different from where I live... no wonder they could be the most developed and successful country in the world.
