Observations in Japan

This is so true - a good reminder to self when I delve into a relationship in the future: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/29/opinion/sunday/why-you-will-marry-the-wrong-person.html?_r=0

I'm travelling in Japan right now and there are so many interesting things of note!

For one, everyone here uses Line, so I created one just to see how it's like. It's amazing, and has more fun features than any of the other social messenging apps (whatsapp, wechat, facebook messenger, etc)! and it automatically finds emoticons when you type in keywords (try toilet) xD

Also, cute bear and rabbit stickers! Enough said.

Another thing I noticed is that despite how polite everyone is, it's clear they are not friendly and keep to themselves. Japanese people don't smile, and they are kind of rude to foreigners really, except their language and culture forces them to be super uber polite. It's such an oxymoron. Don't be fooled by their language to think they like you lol.

Third thing, Japanese guys in the club are more aggressive than those in Singapore, but less so than those in the US. They do very interesting things when they're trying to hit on you xD
