    What’s my favorite country?
    Actually I was in Sydney, Australia and Bangkok, Thailand this week.
    I liked Sydney more than I expected!
    It was safe, clean and peaceful.
    Nothing crazy like Bangkok but I can imagine myself living there in the future.
    And I love Thailand.
    So energetic and chaotic but the people are so warm. (especially compared to people in Tokyo)
    And I’m planning to live in Bangkok for a month this year!

It is the only country that left me feeling so incredibly happy and gave the upmost desire to be a better person to others and myself. If you have never been to Japan, I would recommend you going. It is an experience that will remain with you forever.

    If you interview Thai people, maybe half of them would say Japan is their favorite too.
    You would hear Thai people say Mai Pen Rai (it’s ok, don’t worry) a lot. It’s the society that won’t mind if you fail. You can be yourself, do as you like and I’ll do the same, it’s not a big deal. While Japanese people care about others and make sure they won’t cause troubles. So their personality contrast but in a good way. 😆
    I grew up in Bangkok but if I need to choose the city to live in Thailand, I’d go for Chiang Mai. If you have a chance, please check it out.

One can even say it is a humbling experience (if you are a person who unknowingly lived a very priveledged life). But with Japan, it's more on xenophobia rather than against a specific race.

Like the whole place (around the University of Kent in Canterbury) felt like it still had one foot in the 70s, then half of the other foot in the modern day and the other half several hundred years ago.

    I find myself compelled to express my genuine admiration for the exceptional qualities that define Japanese society. I am truly amazed, humbled, and continuously inspired by Japan's clean, respectful people, low crime rates, and peaceful, intelligent natured culture. This stark contrast to the slightly hostile and unclean aspects of some societies in England is a testament to the remarkable virtues embraced by the people of Japan.
    Japan's commitment to cleanliness is truly awe-inspiring. From impeccably maintained streets and public spaces to the meticulous attention to detail in daily life, the dedication of the Japanese people to cleanliness is evident everywhere. It creates an environment that not only uplifts the aesthetic appeal but also fosters a sense of pride and discipline. This remarkable quality has left an indelible impression on me, and I can't help but feel inspired by the collective effort to maintain such high standards.
    Equally impressive is the deep-rooted culture of respect that permeates every aspect of Japanese society. The inherent politeness, courtesy, and consideration exhibited by individuals towards one another is truly commendable. Whether it is the warm greetings, the meticulous attention paid to social etiquette, or the genuine concern for others' well-being, I have been astounded by the unwavering respect that characterizes interactions in Japan. It fosters a harmonious and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and acknowledged.
    Furthermore, I am profoundly moved by Japan's commitment to maintaining low crime rates. While no society is entirely immune to crime, Japan has undeniably created a safe haven for its citizens. The social cohesion, collective responsibility, and effective law enforcement contribute to a peaceful environment where individuals can thrive without constant fear or anxiety. This dedication to safety is something that I deeply admire and wish to see replicated in other parts of the world.
    Lastly, the intelligence and intellectual pursuits of the Japanese people have captivated me. Japan's rich history of innovation, technological advancements, and scholarly pursuits showcases a nation driven by a thirst for knowledge and progress. The emphasis placed on education and the relentless pursuit of excellence have yielded remarkable results, establishing Japan as a global leader in various fields. This intellectual prowess and curiosity are not only inspiring but also serve as a reminder of the incredible potential that lies within humanity.

      It’s dry season in the PH right now so please don’t forget to bring your sunscreen and beachwear if you’re planning to visit the islands and the beaches! I hope you have more fun in the Philippines!!! 🎉🎊🍻❤

    This time the perspective was interesting and it was nice to learn some of the Japanese views on foreign countries

      I just said the same thing! The man won't have to buy a pint while he's here.

    I was just in Japan for the second time and the first time since I began studying Japanese. After only five months of studying, I found myself able to order most of my food in Japanese and even make small talk with locals. 🥹 I can't wait to see how my Japanese will be for the next time I visit!
    日本が 大好きですよ!
