I apologize for not being able to post regularly as I’m on a family vacation with my family for the next couple of weeks. Though it’s been a little tiring for us - waking up a little earlier and handling the travel demands of my preschooler, everything has been great and we are enjoying ourselves.

Tokyo and Osaka are great cities to visit and though many friends were puzzled on why I had chosen these two busy cities for a family vacation, I have not regretted a bit. The Japanese have a very rich heritage and culture and I have to commend them for their hardworking and meticulous characteristics. They work hard and relax well at the end of a long day - enjoying a drink in the sake bar or joining wine of the month club for a little social networking. They are people who know how to enjoy the little pleasures when it comes to festive and a time out session. In a fast moving city like tokyo or osaka, it may seem great for people who can work from home since property is scarce and very expensive. But I definitely have lots to learn from the hardworking japanese and also their efficiency and constant strive towards high standards.
