Just back from Japan

I have been to Japan many times, starting from 1971. This time I went to Yamaguchi, Wakayama, Kyoto and Osaka between August 26-31th, 2008. I was in the group who were looking for technology such as rice bran processing products, poly lactic acid polymer for plastic wares, or other laboratory processes. And, we met with the academic institute high rank staff to sign MOA for the cooperation in the future. This was a task of the office I am working for and my working contract will be ended at the end of October. It could be my last formal trip in my life.
Anytime I went to Japan, I impressed the cleanliness of the country. These included the public areas, resident areas, restuarants, tourist spots, etc. Event the public rest room or the rest room in the restuarants or the hotel areas were very clean and furnished with the new technological equipments such as automatic water valve, or automatic toilet cleaning system. Besides, Japanese were so neat, disciplinary, friendly, gentle, and good service. We could taste some food at the food stores even we didn't buy them. Japanese women were so cute and good mind.
The only thing I have not impressed was the expensive lives. Everything were so expensive such as food, hotel, drugstore, departmentstores, supermarkets. There were many 24 hours stores such as Lawson, Seven-eleven, etc.
For the scenery, Japan was so green with decorated plants every where. We went to Nara to see the biggest Buddha Statue in the temple. The site was ancient style, and green with plants and lawn. Don't have to say that they were beautiful. As a matter of fact, everywhere, there were parks,at which hill or water being a part in the scenes, . Saying that Japanese live with the traditonal houses, healthy food and beautiful environment. I am envious of their lives except for standard of living. Chavalvut Chainuvati
