HI there! :D An anonymous person commented on my previous post asking me to update so here it is! :)

I'm currently in Japan on holiday as I'm on break at the moment and my stay here has been wonderful! I've been here for the past week and am amazed by how polite, welcoming and courteous the Japanese people here are!

The food is simply delicious, the fashion is a little queer but if you head to the right areas, shops and districts, you can find beautiful creations! :D One thing I really admire about the Japanese is their ability to follow and respect the law.

From how they interact with each other, to having the pedestrian first cars later mentality and to helping each other conserve energy after the recent earthquake and tsunami, they have opened up my eyes as to what a terrible state my country, Malaysia, is in.

If you watch the news on television you'd know that the citizens of Malaysia recently held a rally in the heart of our city Kuala Lumpur. They stood united and strong for what they believed in - equality and fairness. They protested to the government to have our election process be more transparent but alas our corrupted government only knows how to do ONE thing - To do things according to their personal agenda and Not for the people.

These are the differences I've noticed between a 1st world country that is continuously progressing and a 3rd world country which state is only declining.

I think I jumped around quite a fair bit in this post but yet I can't help but interrelate each incident and feeling. Well, hope you enjoyed the post. Hehe. I'll post pictures up soon! :) x
