I Lived In Japan And Their Approach To Kindness And Manners Changed My Life
Dostoevsky once said, “Beauty will save the world.” I have seen this beauty first hand during the three years I lived in Japan, and being witness to it has filled me with beautiful stories. Stories not about the countryside or the art, but about the Japanese people. People who have forever changed the way I think and behave due to their manners and kindness.
