WE landed in Kansei, Osaka on July 21 for a seven-day visit, with two days in Tokyo. It was warmer than Manila so I didn't need the warmers and the jackets.

From the airport, we hired two vans to take us to our hotel. As soon as we left the airport, I already saw glaring distinctions about Japanese culture which I greatly admired: discipline and courtesy.
