SAD AND FUNNY EXPERIENCES OF JAPANESE PEOPLE YNNUF (=ENOUGH) BEING SAD
BY JILL BARCELONA SUZUKI
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Why do we judge people this way and that way? Why do we always stick to stereotypes?
This book gives you a chance to know and understand each Japanese person’s different experiences—both SAD and FUNNY—and the way Japanese people view life. You also get to know their jobs and their lifestyles. This is also an eye-opener to many people, especially us Filipinos who believe that Japanese people are perfect and that they have everything.
Look deeper, understand their daily life, know their culture and embrace who they really are and what most of them want with their lives. They have SAD stories just like us. But while contemplating their SAD stories, you also need to remind yourself that as a human being, you deserve to hear FUNNY stories to balance things, and of course, to simply make you happy.
