Kouri Island is referred to locally as “Love Island.” Okinawan folklore has it that at the birth of mankind the island was home to two lovers, who lived in a sea cave. Adding to this romantic imagery, two heart-shaped rocks rise out of the sea at Tinu Beach. Sculpted naturally by the crashing waves, they have become an iconic symbol of the island.

I have always wondered about Japanese kids being so well behaved and disciplined!

Some articles say that the way of correcting children in private (but not in public) help them to be well behaved since it doesn’t hurt their self respect.
They are also taught to empathise from their young age.. and so on…
After so many years here in Japan, I still can’t figure out exactly why…

May be one day I’ll..

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
