Food Packaging and size reflects Culture 食物包裝於份量反映出文化

Image
A lot can be told from just a simple food packaging, like how the packaging was designed, to ease of opening. For example in Japan, sweets and snacks are packaged in small exquisite packs, making it easy for individuals to eat or for those who are more health-conscious to feel less guilty. On the other hand, Singapore sweets and snacks, which are typically sold in big packs, are meant to be shared among the whole family, reflecting a bigger family nucleus. Those who are familiar with Japanese products would know how easy they are to be unsealed due to good packaging design and material (although the waste generated is debatable). This probably reflects the Japanese emphasis on details. That's all for my BS for today :P 中文版請點(更多)→

Girls and their heels 女人愛美不要命

Japanese girls always seem to appear flawless with their f ull make-up, neat hair-style and their high heels.  Unlike me, the foreigner, who goes out with my bizarre frizzy hair, spectacles and  bland face without full make-up.  I always thought, wow, these women are really remarkable... until witnessing a  few flips (hee hee). 中文版請點(更多)→

Japan should ban suits in Summer! 日本應該禁止夏天穿西裝!

Filled with oily goodness....toasted and turning black already! As for Coolbiz... when you arrive into the office with sticky sweat and need to put on your suits, you won't want to wrap those damp cooling scarves round your neck to see clients (though that'd be literally "cool") With this heat and humidity, even going around naked won't help to dissipate the heat generated from walking... 中文版請點(更多)→
