Spilling Onto The Sidewalk But Neat

spilling onto the sidewalk but neat

Adapted from the manuscript Abunsanda reviewed by Denis IBS

Tokyo, capital of Japan is beautiful, is known as one of the world-class metropolitan city that has a wonderful infrastructure. All modes of transport network is very sophisticated. Public facilities was very fantastic, six-star class.

The city with a population of nearly 20 million people are certainly not as grand as New York, not as romantic as Paris, or not full melodious voice as often we hear in the city of Vienna or Munich. But Tokyo is neat, cleaner, more quiet, and polite citizens. A little mutual respect, bowing, bows body.

In the matter of food, do not ask. Tokyo is one of the renowned food paradise, next to Hong Kong, Shianghai, Singapore, San Francisco, Jakarta, and so forth. Try for example, cheap food pepper lunch, certainly thrill all joints taste. However, this is great Japanese, very rare to find Japanese citizen, male or female potbellied. They liked to eat, but diligent physical exercise. They enjoy biking and walking distance to dozens of kilometers per day.

It is very interesting, the city is very neat. Executive recently recalled, he was very fond of them come to Japan because of neatness and cleanliness. Let you see the pavement. Used to sit barefoot even for all, no matter. Note also the chairs in gardens, net baffle, an executive said earlier.

Once satisfied to walk, or buy things that do not exist in Indonesia, try the food there. The food served only tasty and delicious.

One time during the holidays, I browse sidewalks of Tokyo, dozens of kilometers per day for five consecutive days. I traveled almost all elite road pavement and some middle area of Tokyo. Same impression is clean, neat, and orderly. Colorful flowers scattered everywhere.

In addition to fun traced sidewalks, the buildings were beautiful. Business centers are built with first-class architectural tastes. Homes, from elite to a simple, built with taste very awake. Even the modest shops, which sell household goods, packaged neatly. If any goods from a simple shop was overflowing, still packaged very well so it always looks neat. Aesthetics does not bother him at all. Goods which expanded into the shop page remain upright with the dashing. Strict control carried out by the owner of the shop itself. There is no impression would occupy the area to pedestrian. Automatic elegance one of the biggest business city in the world is not tainted at all.

Its people had incredible discipline. In 02.00 am when the road began to quiet, car chases are few in number, the smell of adherence to traffic signs remain strong. When the traffic lights glow red, immediately passing car stopped. Adherence was amazing and then becomes a reflection of just how high the discipline of a great nation. Just another illustration, when the raging tsunami and devastated many cities in Japan, food queues can take place very orderly. Residents stand in line very patiently despite temperatures often minus a few degrees. There does not appear to pilfer and mutual impression ahead.

We do not intend to idolize Tokyo and other cities in Japan. But surely there are lessons to be learned here, namely how their discipline. Discipline was born not because of severity of law enforcement (like Singapore), nor because the instructions of government officials, but born of consciousness of its citizens alone. They feel partially responsible for maintaining order, neatness, and cleanliness of the city. They are proud of the neatness of it.

In the Ginza for example, when tired of walking on foot for several hours, I sat on a seat for the public on the edge of pavement (a seat like this much scattered all over town). I see people who dress neatly, of whom wore a tie for men and blazers for women, sweeping the floor every hour. What a citizen of this city. Pain has a hometown high.

Of course Japan does not achieve this remarkable culture overnight. Cultures are built for decades and even centuries. All depends on its leaders. If the leader goes wrong, of course people are also wrong. If the leader orderly, disciplined, and not corrupt, people will also follow with joy.
