[Eng] Start My New Blog in English / Bahasa Indonesia

Today (27 May 2020), I want to start my new blog "Glocal Diary for Local-to-Local" as a brother or sister blog of my Japanese private blog "Glocal Nikki (Glocal Diary in English)".

This new blog will be written in English or Bahasa Indonesia.

I will write about my daily life, my thoughts, my ideas, my comments, favorite foods, and anything else what I want to write. In short, my monologue.

Sometimes maybe just translation from my Japanese blog.

I try to update every 2-3 days. Please keep this blog and enjoy my monologue. Of course, very welcome your questions and comments.

Now I stay and work at my home in Tokyo. Enjoy to walk around my home to feel spring season this year, as seeing "rose garden" in front of our railway station.

[Eng] Higher "Cultural Standard" ?

Why are there fewer corona deaths in Japan than in Western countries? When asked so, Japan's deputy prime minister Mr. Taro Aso replied that it was because the "cultural standard" is different. "Cultural standard"? He said that the "cultural standard# of Japan is higher than other countries. This was the result of voluntary restraint of Japanese people, without the government taking any strong measures. As it say, Japanese people have higher "cultural standard" than other countries. It is true that the number of corona deaths in Japan is much lower than in the West. However, it is actually one of the highest compared to other Asian countries. If compared with other Asian countries, we can say that Japan has lower "cultural standard". I remember two things. First, the reason Japan started World War II was the idea of a superior Japan liberating a lagging Asia. It was said that civilized Japan had to teach and guide other Asia that had not...

[Eng] Start from the Local as Base of Our Life

I was born in Fukushima, Japan, from my father and mother with Japanese nationality. Automatically, I had my Japanese nationality. I did not have any right to choose my nationality. Nothing more than a coincidence. If born in Indonesia from my Indonesian parents, I became an Indonesian. I could not decide to choose the place I was born. If born in the Dutch East Indies 100 years ago, I might have no sense of any nationality. Nothing more than a coincidence. But, after I was born, I had lived with my family at a place. The place is called as my hometown. My place of birth has had a special meaning for my life. Maybe I has lived in several places other than my place of birth. Those places often have special meanings for my life. There are deep memories of my living there. Such place is not regarded as the nation, but as the local. I have special feelings on Fukushima as my place of birth, Tokyo as my current living place with my family, Busan as my first visited foreign city in my life, ...
