So....what is Japan?

Don't feel like wanna write something here,
But I have to record something here in this memorable day,
My First Year in Japan!

I experienced lots of things in this past 1 year.
Of cause the most memorable thing is non other than the
huge natural disaster + most severe radiation leakage.
One time is more than enough,
please don't come to kacau me anymore.

Let me share some interesting things in Japan.
Japanese sial one, they like to queue up for many things.
Queue up for the new release game although one game cost more than RM200.
Queue up for the Pachinko (something like our老虎机) although it is kind of gambling.
Queue up for Ramen although it is not delicious,
Queue up (overnight+outside the mall) for the mega sale although it is in winter season.
Queue up for starbuck which consider as a mamak class coffee in Japan.
The weirdest thing is, they queue for the elevator!
Not to mention they queueing up for iPhone, PSP, etc...
Oooppss, almost forget to say this..
Not only queueing up to buy the new iPhone, PSP, etc..
Before that, you need to queue up to reserve it few months or few weeks earlier.


Buatan tempatan is much more highclass than imported goods.
Especially when it came to food.
For example, one normal class garlic in make in japan sell RM12,
three garlic from China sell less than RM4.
May be you say, China what....

Cherry imported from US is 3 times cheaper.
Beef imported from US is also 3 times cheaper.

So after all I concluded that Made in US almost equal Made in China.
Never under estimate the quality of Made in Japan!!!!
** So don't get shocked when u saw one Japanese garlic selling RM20 in Malaysia.

Everything here got a card, a card to collect points!
While in Malaysia, I only hold a debit card,
In here, I am holding around 20 cards!!!
Wallet is never enough to put the card!
Buy shoes, got card.
Buy food, got card.
Buy cosmetic, got card.
Go shopping mall shopping, got card.
Go restaurant makan, got card.
Go sing K, got card.

Pay money, never use cash.
We got card!
WAON card, Edy card, IC card, Suica card, Pasmo card, etc..
Not to mention ur credit card!

Japan is a wonderland of Hello Kitty.
Hello Kitty is everywhere.
Here got Hello Kitty tissue,
Hello Kitty shampoo,
Hello Kitty Cosmetic,
Hello Kitty food,
Hello Kitty lipstick,
Hello Kitty facial foam.
Every place, I means every place!!
Every place in Japan have different Hello Kitty key chain.
So don't under estimate the influence of Hello Kitty in Japan.

Japanese like to commit suicide.
In Malaysia, you die then is your own problem.
In Japan, you die then is problem for thousands of people.
Because they jump toward the in coming train.
So never under estimate Japanese love and passion toward the train!
Die also want to be with train!
And of cause don't under estimate the unity in Japan!
Die also want you die together.
Simply amazing spirit, totally impress!!

In Malaysia we always go buffet, eat all you can!
Or with drink all you can, but cola only.
In Japan, we always go drink all you can.
Of cause, Japanese not as gian siap as Malaysian especially Chinese.
They let you drink beers, cocktail, sour, Japanese wine an cola too.

Actually there are still tonnes of interesting that can be shared.
But I just so lazy to type it out.

Lastly, Japanese is so rich!
They spend money like me pouring water.
When we all go mamak to fellowship,
they go restaurant drink beer in order to fellowship.
We spent RM10 with 1 teh ais + 1 nasi pattaya + roti canai etc.
They spent RM120 with uncountable beers + sashimi + lots of small small dishes.
We wear G2000, they wear Dunhill.
We use renoma wallet, they use LV.
We use RM4 name card horlder, they use burberry cost RM400.
We wear ZARA jacket and feel proud,
they wear buatan tempatan 3 times more expensive.
Our Isetan sell Padini, G2000, Crocodile.
Their Isetan sell Prada, Gucci, Burberry.

What I want to say is,
different class!
Really a huge different class!

So I conclude that, unless you are rich,
If not don't hang out with Japanese.

This is the country that I am living in past 1 year.
Few more year to go.
Many more things are waiting me to discover.
