Election blues

@DC, many thanks for being my first again! There are simply so many good things here that we can't enjoy in our native land. Walking at night is one example. Not that I'm fond of doing it as an exercise but as a need in going home right after work. There was a time when I walked home at 2am or 12MN with no incidence at all. I can't do that in my own country without bringing something to defend myself just in case. You can leave your car, your bike outside without worry of losing them. Although, I knew of one who was robbed of his bike just days after having bought it. But that case was unusual. About pandan, you can put together with rice and just the smell alone would let you have more than one serving. You mention buko pandan, what a mean lady! Now, I have to work double time to be able to buy a ticket home!
@Altar, pardon! Some of us become so "enthusiastic excited" seeing some long time friends that we forget our manners in public places. As I'm working in a multicultural setting right now, I've developed the don't care attitude if some co workers talk in their native lingo. To those who aren't used to hearing people "talking in tongues", it really could be a struggle not to be annoyed. The lady candidate is supposed to be cancer stricken and she is 70. She has many believers and most probably win if only there's an assurance that she'll be able to finish her term if she wins. Phil election has never been that orderly and peaceful like here in Japan. Proclamation of winners sometimes takes weeks and even months. Hope that would change this time around. Hope the one who could serve well wins. And thanks for commenting.
