Land of the rising Sun

I woke up early in the morning, because of the change of place plus the excitement inside my heart.. I was arranging my things in the hotel room when suddenly something popped up causing the fresh light to prevail over the gift of the night. I turned back to look from my french window and got stuck with amazement at the thought of experiencing what till date I had only heard and studied in the textbooks: the sunrise in the land of the rising sun.
A glimpse in to the japanese lifestyle made my vision broader.Discipline is inculcated not from above, the approach is bottom to top as japanese don't believe in doing two things at a time viz. eating and walking at the same time. In our cultural exchange programme we were taken to adore the beauty of the Venus Fort. Shops were left to be guarded not by the shopkeepers but to the honesty of the people or probably no need was occasioned of the same as the fear of losing things prevail when there is lack of belief and integrity in others.
Though english seemed as a blue moon , it being their
some third or fourth language, courtesy their strong cultural affinity, people do their best to make you feel at home. My stay with the host family enriched me with the first hand experience of japanese traditions and culture. You should not take the outside footwears inside the house for it is against the rule of hygiene and cleanliness, but don't worry : you will have separate footwears for the house and the bathrooms. There is also a tradition according to which each person has to take a dip in the bathtub in the same water one by one, which is becoming extinct with most of the families . They will attend you with all the affection and warmth .The peace memorial which I happened to visit in Hiroshima stands evident to the rapid recovery and progress of the bombed cities which have witness the worst of the disasters.
The most remarkable and perhaps the most distinguishing of all my discoveries was their priceless possession in the form of time, most akin to them . Japanese value it as a medicine ,
neither a dose higher nor a low; for you may not reap the fruits of the seed you sow , just the accurate for life to go.
The maple trees on the island in Hiroshima and the cherry blossoms by the roadside add just another feather to its crown.Yokoso japan is a word worth mentioning and often seen on a number of travel magazines and roadmaps when one happens to visit such a wonderful place. And indeed it is so.
