I visited Japan in 2019. I travel through Kyoto (my favourite), Osaka and Tokyo. I finished impressed how big and populated these last two. Japanese culture is very particular and different from that of other countries. And people, evidently, are different too. Many details were showed to me along those 20 days in so special land. One of them was that, except people who had studied out of this country, Japanese don't speak English. Another was that when I tried to communicate with some pedestrian, this apologized and ran away. Later I knew in Japan to make mistakes or to do something wrong is very negative; social dislike. That, I suppose, restricts behaviour. So people preferred to flee than trying to speak with me, although they were curious. I must say that I found some English speakers too, but the least. What I try to mean is that you can feel that education and culture in Japan value very much its individuality and perhaps an out of time vision about honour and embarrassment. I couldn't arrive to a positive or negative conclusion about this, but I can say that I could see happier faces between humble people than salaryman. What do you think?

NATO extension NATO secretary general Stoltenberg is trying to convince Turkish president to allow Swedish and Finnish applications to joinning NATO. Soon senior officers of this three countris are going to meet in Brussels, where NATO is based, to discuss about this situation. Tayyid Erdogan is a hard negotiator, and personally I think that finally he's going to allow applications, but we will never know conditions. Since many years NATO is step by step, breaking the little balance in Europe and Eurasia. Again Europe will finish depending from USA because bad diplomacy, worse interests and lack of sovereignty.
