And we finally tried playing Pachinko! I guess Japanese are really crazy about this pinball-like game, where you try let the balls drop into a specific hole. But we lost Y1000 (S$13) in less than 5 minutes.
Anyway, look at this water-efficient toilet bowl. You wash your hands from the small sink on top, and the water is used to flush the toilet.
After spending more than a week at Tokyo, I really realise how different the people are, in terms of their culture. In Japan, everybody is so polite and thoughtful, and "Sorry" and "Thank you" are always on their lips. This trait isn't limited to people in the service industries. They tend to bow slightly too. They use very polite words when conversing, even between friends.People will automatically keep left on escalators. And it is common to see people wearing a mask covering their mouths, because they didn't want to spread the virus to other people. They queue up at the train platforms, where the train doors would be, and they don't enter until nobody else is coming out.
Their streets are squeaky clean. And it is not because of bins that you see everywhere in Singapore. Guess what, it is not as easy to find bins there! And even if you find one, chances are, they are recycling bins, and you are supposed to throw according to the rubbish classification!If you put Japanese and Singaporeans together, you'll realise that the latter are downright rude, horribly uncultured and undisciplined, and certainly unclassy. It really seems like we still have eternity, if we are aiming to become world-class or if our population are to move on ahead.
人生是黑白的.
