Snippets (2) : How nice the Japanese are....


One day during the recent trip to Tokyo, pakdokter and family decided to lunch at one of the many restaurants at the Lumine Est Mall in downtown Shinjuku, Tokyo. The restaurant was full except for a table for two which obviously could not accomodate pakdokter's party of three ( pakdokter, makdokter and our son, Rastam). We were told to wait for a while until a table for four was available.


Two Japanese ladies who were having their lunch at a table for four and who must have seen us standing and waiting at the door immediately moved their lunch plates to the empty table for two and invited us to take up their table instead.


Never in pakdokter's life has pakdokter ever come across and experienced such considerate gestures.


Japan kept giving pakdokter many pleasant surprises like this....
