Have you heard people are very nice and polite in Japan?

You can get smile at McDonald for 0yen. People working at supermarket cashiers actually do pay attention to you and try to process your shopping cart as quick as possible. They would apologize you if the product you want is out of stock and show some sympathy like your pet squirrel just died in front of them. They would never roll eyes at you when you ask questions like "can you check if the other location has some?"

But then, the same people would never say "excuse me" or "I'm getting off" on a super crowded train or elevator when they try to squeeze by you. They just push. Push you with the back of the hands coldly. If you say "ouch" or "hey" they would either ignore you or give you an uncertain smile, and that means "oh hey...you know I didn't mean it. calm down...please?"   

Those people pretend not to see someone on a street needing help. They won't try to stop bullies bullying the ones that gets bullied. They simply look away and go back to their own important business.

Those people might be some of my best friends. Those people might be my family. I might have been one. Hope not. But could have been. 

But then, I hate people who is all up in my business and give me expert's advices that I did not ask for. I get very quietly angry and upset. And because they think it is "for me" I put some weak smile on and say "Ah", and that means "I would love it if you leave me alone. But I might be alright even if you don't...Please?"

I am going to Japan tomorrow. I do miss Japan!
