Life is full of wonders

I thought of something really funny today. As I was walking down the street to get some lunch, I noticed that there are many nice cars driving around everywhere and none of them appear to have any big scratches or dents on them. When I started to think about it I couldn't remember a time since I have been in Japan that any of the cars have I seen have had any big scratches on them. This is funny to me because in America some people have a stereotype (or a belief) about Asian people and say that they are bad drivers, but when I traveled to the big cities in California a few years ago, about half of the cars on the road had really bad dents and scratches because they drive so badly. When I thought of this I just laughed to myself because some people say bad things about others when they do the same thing or worse themselves.




I think that the reason that the Californians drive their cars with the dents is, that the care too much about the way they look and spend all of their money on the newest most expensive car they can and when they scratch it, they have no more money to fix so, they drive around with the dent on their new car.



Little thing like this help to me appreciate life and I never miss a chance to laugh at loud at life's wonders.
