Namba, Osaka, Japan |
When you live in the Philippines and travel to a country
like Japan, you will realize how stark the differences are between the two
countries. In Japan everything is in its proper place and everything is done
with method and order. There are many things in that country that I wish the Philippines
also has – things like umbrellas in individual umbrella stands, heated toilet
seats, bathrooms that also work as clothes
driers, ICOCA, bagging your own groceries, house slippers, bathroom slippers,
trains that are never late, TV in the bath, unlimited green tea at every meal,
push button crosswalk signals, spotlessly clean sidewalks devoid of vendors,
beggars, and street urchins, shops without security guards, bicycles for rent, vending
machines that can be found everywhere, bento boxes, bus drivers wearing
pristine white gloves, the absence of chatter and unnecessary noise in buses
and trains.
