[026] Japan, the High Context Culture 日本的高語境社會

Sometimes I can't stand the vagueness of the Japanese language. It becomes especially frustrating during critical times... Through my studies, I came to realize that this is called a "High Context" culture. But as a fast and furious Singaporean, I prefer "Low Context"!!!

有時真受不了日語曖昧的表示。特別是重要時刻時還在跟你耍不確定... 在唸書的時候讀到原來這叫做“高語境”社會。但是身為一個喜歡快速了事的新加坡人，我比較喜歡“低語境”！

    Hahhahhahah... I can understand that. Although I personally doubt I would ever live in Japan, I do admire their culture. It's something the Chinese have lost along the way when we adopted too much western culture. No?

Boiled coke and ginger lemon for cough

This post has nothing to do with Japan, except that I have the tendency to fall sick during long Japanese holidays like year end and golden week.

It sounded unusual so I googled and found the recipe. Amazingly, many people swear that it works wonder to cure their coughs and sore throats, so I decided to try out of desperation because I had already been coughing for four days and four nights.

You can either add lemon when it was simmering or squeezed lemon juice after you pour into your mug. *I couldn't get old ginger from my Japanese supermarket so I used young ginger that was not so spicy. Verdict: I couldn't believe it, but it tasted rather good! Even my friend who disliked ginger said this remedy taste
