Gender Discrimination in Japan

-
Based on true story of what happened to me when I was in Japan. The final straw was when the editor who actually flipped my work let his pizza drip onto it and not wipe away! The biggest insult to an artist is to treat her work like trash, thanks old man, thanks...

I'm pretty sure things would be different if I was a bright young Japanese man. But then again I don't regret being a Singaporean woman because we are strong.

So with weak Japanese medicine not working, and even with kiwis and lemon honey drink all failing, I resorted to my friend's advice: coke and ginger . 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.
