A week’s passed since coming back from the short trip to Vietnam. The time of pleasure flied and that makes a sharp contrast with the life in the working place where tons of piled jobs urging me with terrible suffering to struggle. The difficulties to communicate with the people in town who speak funny language made me recognize that I was a total stranger coming from another world. But I could benefit from being “alien” among them, as that made me forget about the daily strain where always required to have any insistence and claim. It was a bit embarrassing when I noticed that they saw us Japanese as the rich to spend so much money easily. But I as one the “rich” Japanese was astonished when I saw the sight where King of Fruits “Dorian”, which normally costs JPY5-6,000 to JPY20,000 if you buy in “Senbikiya” at Kyobashi, was sold in the similar way as the sale of lot of banana in Japan. People are prepossessed with an artificial sense of value formed separately from the blessing of the natural world.
