Wednesday, July 4, 2007. Tuesday, July 3, 2007. English is the only foreign language taught in public Japanese schools. It is a Japanese custom to remove your shoes. Before entering a house or other building in Japan? This is because the floors are covered with straw mats which are called tatamis. In order to keep the tatamis clean for sitting upon, the Japanese take their shoes off. Shaking hands, on the other hand, is not common among the Japanese; however, they often do so when greeting a foreigner.

Sunday, March 1, 2009. this is the time where our eyes slowly opens to the reality. The time of both happiness and sadness. much like the yin and the yang. In high school,we met different people with different faces and personalities. At first,we were strangers starting in our different journeys. then we became friends until we became the best of friends. my journey also became their journey. High school is the time of our blossoming. Now,another chapter of our life is opening.
