I'm sorry you are going through a rough patch at this moment, but I am very glad that I was able to help in any way. Please do look out for opportunities, but beyond that for all the great things life has to offer. Oftentimes I find myself unhappy because of a particular things, until I realize I have so many other things to be grateful and happy about... then it doesn't seem as important anymore.

Good luck!

HI Christina,
I'm glad you enjoyed the post, I really believe that being in Japan changed the perspective I had about things! Now I want to go back to Japan... :)

Deng-san, thanks for your comment! :)
We are, indeed, happier if we stay grateful. I truly believe it.

well, i just stumbled over your blog, and i quite enjoyed reading it.

i have passed 5 weeks in japan this summer, too, and totally understand your cultural shock!
especially since my country is somewhat famous for being nice to tourists and rude to everyone else...
anyways, have a nice day :3

We should always forget what we have done for others but remember what they have done for us. If we view the world on our grateful eyes, the world is more beautiful, We are more happier . It is a smart kind of life style to lead to a life through gratitude.
Thank you very much, Omar.

Yu-San! Yes, the driving in Japan seems a little crazy... particularly seeing how everyone seems to drive in small streets that seem suitable only for people walking! I already miss the food, though... :(

See you around!

I'm sure by the now you've adjusted back to life in Boston... and may be you're feeling this way too, but I must say, it feels good to be an acceptable "individual" again.. haha. No worries. Knowing you, there are lots of good times ahead (esp since you're amidst our awesome group of friends ;P ), and seriously, before you know it Omar-san, we'll be back in Japan in no time. You know it's going down. We're living in Nara in the future. End of story. As long as Mister Donut still exists (and Koji-san and Naoki-san, of course), there's always a reason to go back. :P

じゃ、またね！

I'm glad to hear you like Japan so much. Yes, there are a lot of differences between there and here and they make us shocked at first, but we will be able to enjoy them sooner or later. At least, I believe the driving manner in Boston is better than that in Japan! Sorry for the Japanese foods, we can't eat them around Boston...
Anyway, welcome back Omar! See you soon.

Your absolutely right. The service in Japan is great. Though sometimes it isn't time effective when you are in a rush.

Amazing. I have yet to come across customer service anywhere near what you described. I've lived in North Carolina, Texas and California and the customer service in places is ok but nowhere near as you described.

It's a pretty surreal video, but definitely makes me think. I agree that, in some ways, all the communication technology available nowadays can also isolate us from each other if we're not careful.

Your video reminds me a little bit of "augmented reality."

Thank you Omar. I totally belive it. The more grateful you are to all the good things you have, the more you get. Gratitute makes your life beautiful and you will focus on what you have rather than what you dont have. Gratitude leads to Adandance.
