This means that Japan has more people dying from old age than are being born to replace... Mazz http://www.mazikeen.com a la Britney Spears with small infants and toddlers on their laps. Toddlers will also sit in the font passenger seat with no seatbelt and they are also allowed to roam around the back seats with no seatbelt or car seats. Just yesterday we went to a store and found that the car next to us was empty. . . except for the sleeping baby someone had left in it while they went into the store. Yes, they left an infant alone in the car while they went shopping. The Japanese see nothing wrong with either of these things, at least not in the area I live in. I will not even bother to get into how ill-behaved the children are, how the school system works to kill individuality and create drones, and the high suicide rate Japan has. I am not saying other countries are not guilty as well, Thailand does have its parents who slip small children into the front baskets of scooters while they zip around town. I suppose, considering Japan considers itself a "first world country" and number two behind the USA I expect better. But the fact is, even with its shining cities and technology, Japan is no better than Thailand. In fact, in many ways Thailand is better off than Japan and they just had a military coup! Japan is not all bad, I would rather live here than the USA, but common sense is not a common thing here.]]> Passing Moments tag:www.mazikeen.com,2009://1.203 2009-01-21T09:52:35Z 2009-01-21T09:57:15Z Today was a wonderful day.

The above is a daruma. A daruma is a type of Japanese wish doll. When you purchase the doll both of the eyes are blank, you fill in the right eye while expressing your wish. When your wish comes true you fill in the other eye.

If you have had access to my private Live Journal entries then you already know a little of why 2008 has been quite the trying year for me. I am taking all of the optism I have and putting forth that 2009 will be the year of me.
