Some Super Inconsiderate Malaysians !

Seriously, I wonder what's on these people's mind when they do these. They just can't be bothered with other people as long as it is convenient for them.

Example No. 1.
Can you imagine parking right at the junction of a road ? Here's how it's done:

Example No. 2.
One car taking up two parking lots.

I'll be taking & posting up more of those inconsiderate people...

My 2004 Trip to Japan Pt.2

There's a bike shop across the street from the hotel. I think it's a bicycle shop but they sell small capacity motorcycles/mopeds/scooters too. Check this out:

See the Classic Honda Cub 50cc or in Malaysia they call it "Kapchai Lima Kupang" . There's now a collectors item in Malaysia & people are willing to pay thousands for it for it's vintage value. Think again, Suckers...! Hahahaha. It's available new here in Japan, guys. Why crack your head for one ?

This is the train station not too far away from the hotel I stayed.

I was walking around Sanda City & came across this "river". The next day, I told my colleagues that the river there was very clean. They asked me,"What river ?" Then I pointed out to them. To my embarrassment, they told me that it a drain ! Even our rivers in Malaysia never looked this clean.... sigh.

Some shops around Sanda.

A flower shop closed but flowers are left outside the shop with just a chain tied at the entrance. I wonder what would happened if they did that in Malaysia. Probably everything would be gone the next day !

If you take a closer look at the streets & surroundings, you'll probably notice how clean it is. One thing we Malaysians should learn from the Japanese; cleanliness & civic mindedness.

My 2004 Trip to Japan

Was sent to Japan for a training / working trip to our HQ in Japan back in 2004. It was in April; yes it was Spring. The best season of the year in Japan where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom & the temperature is just nice at about 20 degrees Celcius. Wish Malaysia's weather was like that all year long.

Here's some of the pictures I took:

Getting there; the boring 7 hour long flight in Economy Class....

Almost towards Kansai Airport...

After I landed, my hosts took me to a hilltop temple in Hiraki. According to my boss, this temple is donated by our company.

The two guardians at the entrance of the temple.

Inside the temple compound is like a park with beautiful landscape

The map of the temple, as you see from it, its compound covers practically covers the whole hill. "We're here.", says my boss.

In this shed, there's some water for... can't remember; holy water ?

This is another biulding in the compound; made entirely of wood & it's very old with significant historic values.

Here's a view from the balcony......absolutely breathtaking......

This building houses a large bell.

This is the administration office of our factory in Hiraki Mine.

That is part of the factory across the other side of the road.

My colleagues, very nice guys.

The hotel I stayed in Sanda City.

This is where I take my breakfast every morning.

My tiny room

& the tiny bathroom

small it may be but check out the toilet...fully automated bottom wash. 

We didn't have those back in 04. We only have it recently.

This is the view on my left as I exit from the entrance of the hotel. There's a train station not far from the hotel.

And this the right view. There's a Pachinko shop across the street.

The view from my hotel room on the 12th floor window.

The best part; sunrise at 5 a.m ! They don't call Japan "Land of the Rising Sun" for nothing.
