Work culture in Japan

Image
Based on friend's working experience in Japan, but exaggerated (he didn't play games in office :P ). While it's normal to work overtime till 7-8pm in Singapore, it's normal to work overtime till 11pm-1am in Tokyo... 日本語バージョン:

The quest for Singapore Chicken Rice in Tokyo

Image
Photos of Singapore food flooded my Facebook wall last week because my school held a study trip to Singapore. So thanks to my friends, I developed a craving for our famous chicken rice so I decided to gather a few friends, who had studied in Singapore before, for a chicken rice lunch at Harajuku. But alas, we didn't know that even restaurants could close for the Obon Festival (around 15th Aug)!!! Japanese will go back to their hometown during Obon, something like hungry ghost festival of Singapore, where we go to our ancestor's grave to clean it up. Strange that all Japanese knows this but it's not on the calendar at all! (My university campus is closed for 1 week so I had to go somewhere unless I want to stay at home to meditate for a week).

Summer wear in Tokyo and Singapore

Image
During summer, many pharmacies and shops would start to sell UV-cut products like leggings, gloves, hats, stoles and even portable fans and cooling sprays. I tried their UV-cut cool leggings to cover my ugly turnips but alas, I still feel HOT! 中文版請點(更多)→
