" MINOSA " is one of my favourite flower..........  What lovely flowers !! 英名 English name   mimosa 学名 Scientific name  Acacia decurrense var.dealbata 原産地 Origin  Australia  Mimosa is very popular in Europe as the symbol of spring.

One problem in Japan lately is............  Customers are too strong in the hospitality industry ..... Some customers think「Customer is a king !!」and they make unreasonable complains at shops, restaurants or hotels ....etc. I wonder since when it is like this....... it is so sad..... We can't love everybody, everybody can't love us! I wonder if those Japanese complainers would help or give a hand to anyone needing help? or offer their seat in the train or bus to someone in need...??? Often what I see..... is people who offer their seats are mostly foreigners.
