How my life has changed

This whole thing started back in 2006 when Roy and me visited Tokyo for holiday..

Japanese people are very shy...The girls are actually very reluctant to take photos with me :P

It's hard not to be infected with Japanese culture.

Some of the very obvious culture that I've noticed during my visit.

1. A lot of people are on masks.

In 2006, H1N1 is unheard of. So why people are wearing them?? It took us many years later to find out that Japanese wear masks so that they do not infect others with flu. So nice geh.... I feel so ashamed as I was sneezing and coughing like nobody's business back then, inside the train summore =(

2. Everyone has phone strap (s)

I mean EVERYONE, even ah sums, 90-years-old grannies, atuks and kids.
I have seen one girl in the train who. has. like. HUNDREDS. of them on her phone.



3. Kawaii-ness 
Cute elements can be found almost everywhere in Japan, from big business to corner markets and national government, ward, and town offices. 

Such as this. 

 
A 747 with Pokemon cartoons

 Hello Kitty Parade Balloon

As the consequences,
In just 6 days, that is, enam hari in this land of cuteness...my life has changed..

I have been been infected with Cuteness & Hello Kitty!!!

 Life is never the same after that.
  
1. I squealed in delight whenever I see Hello Kitty products.
2. I  ♥ everything that is pink - Just started my Pink Cottage FB page
3. I had start reading HK websites/blogs such as:
          This is a funny one cause it's literally a HK hate-site done by a man who has a HK fanatic wife.
          It blogs about the weirdest HK stuff that you could never imagined. Ready?
