Things I like about Japan (part 2)
The following listing is actually an addition by Electric-Japan-san (http://myspace.com/electricjapan) which I also fully agree with. Read on:
9. Convenient stores that are truly convenient. These stores are open 26 hrs a day, 8 days a week and it sells just anything you had forgotten to buy at the grocery stores.
10. Hot Ramen in the winter. Well not only ramen, but also odeng, nabe, shabu-shabu--hot delectable and nutritious soup that is quick-cooking and entertaining to prepare. I particularly like the tonkatsu. Uhm..Yummy.
11. Onsens, hot spas and places one can go to relax, like your local park. Japan places high regards and importance on being able to get away from it all, even if just for an hour some afternoon.
12. Hot can coffee in vending machines in the winter, cold can coffee in the summer.
13. Students who earnestly try to learn a foreign language, even if they see no need to at that moment. Students who work hard.
14. Adherence to tradition. We tend to forget this during our bust lives, but I noticed many instances where tradition played an important role in Japanese life.
