Into the World:
The Random Thoughts in My Mind

In an era of the general public being inundated with different kinds of museums displaying a wide variety of exhibits , for any to really stand out from the competitive crowd, new methods are needed to draw in the interest of potential museum-goers.  Factory tours, at the first glance, fit the bill extremely well.  But presenting how everyday products are made from scratch via seeing the process actually at work in a normal setting, factor tours tend to provide a much more interactive experience for the general public, in ways that static displays of words and pictures cannot.

A recent news that is causing controversy is the plan for the Danish government to get rid of the country's ethnic ghettos by more forcefully assimilating its non-white migrant communities.  It is just a long line of growing trend of migrant host countries to compel migrants to assimilate faster through political and sometimes legal means.  The French bans Muslim headscarves , in plenty of countries (including the US), knowing the national language as a prerequisite for naturalization, and here in Japan, foreigners have to change to a Japanese surname upon becoming a citizen.

Japanese streets on the weekdays can be extremely colorless.  Salarymen in their millions walk about in almost identical black suits, quickly rushing toward their office buildings and clients.  But the black suits, for all their ubiquity, is not exactly designed for the hot summers that engulf the island country.  As humidity soars and temperatures rise above 40 degrees Celsius in some parts, keeping to the business norm, fashion-wise, can become tortuous.  Salarymen constantly wiping off their sweats can attest to the difficulty.
