Japan is indeed a contrast in Asia Pacific











I have lived in Malaysia for most of my life. I spent six years in France for my doctorate studies. I am now living in Singapore, and travel around the region. The contrast of Japan against other countries is its people's focus on quality, be it food or manufacturing. The civic mindedness of Japanese in keeping the environment clean is difficult to comprehend. This is so evident when we visited Takato and Matsumoto where the cherry blossom was in full bloom. There were no garbage bin to avoid any time bombs being deposited in them. Yet, there was no rubbish on the ground. There were so many visitors yet no garbage! This is Japan! Enjoy some of the magnificient photos that I put together. More to come, when I get them from my friends.

I can now easily write an article in word document, store it in Google Docs (Beta), and then publish it to my blog.

I have not tried video, as it takes time to edit for something that is worth sharing. Google has purchased YouTube for a few billion dollars, and this means you can integrate video as well. I am sure it can be linked to e-Bay which you buy and sell your stuffs and many more. I have to keep this experiment going to opti...

Expectation and Reality

Which parents do not wish the best for their kids? Which kids (teenagers) ever understand their parents? Hence the arrival of the generation gap. While the parents work to fill the barn with grains for a stormy future; the kids pass out the grains to demonstrate their pride in having what their contemporaries may not have. This same phenomenon is like the Chinese saying of wealth will not last three generations. The first generation painfully work hard and save to grow the wealth. The second generation appreciates this hardwork and continues to grow but use the wealth cautiously and educate the next generation. The third generation does not see the hardwork, but that they have more than sufficient to use and lose their hunger to find food. Eventually they lose it all through laziness and extravagance. The Americans spend more than they earn to sustain the growth economy of developing and emerging nations. They owe the rest of the world about thirteen trillion dollars. Here is the live ...
