I think the people of Japan live in the present moment, fully aware of the possibility of death due to natural disasters. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think this also what makes the Japanese grounded people. Humility is interwoven in everyday gestures. I'm in awe of their simplistic ways.

I cannot tell you what a relief it is compared to a place where people take little things for granted. The difference in attitude toward life and people is stark!

I had a chance to visit Osaka and Kyoto during right when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. I'm a better person after my visit to Japan. I want to come back there. I loved it so much.

If death happens to me in Japan, I'll die a happier person at the time.
