Perhaps I was awfully lucky whilst in Japan (that's possible), but if asked to name the best Japanese thing, I would probably say that it's the way you can trust people to not mug you, betray you or be generally nasty.
Japan is a place where I saw people leave their wallets and mobiles unattended for a minute in shops and not be stolen. It's also the place where a charming lady found the scarf I'd just lost on temple grounds, and she went hunting for the owner of the scarf (I still have that scarf, thanks to that lady).
The entire country and the entire population isn't perfect, but that particular point is really awesome.
Today, I tried to trust someone the Japanese way, but I hope it's not going to come bite me... somewhere painful (but, yea... this post is a security of some sort because we're not in Japan).
The thing is, we've got passes to get our classroom keys in my college, and when we give the key back, we need our pass in order to open the door of the thingy where the keys are stored.
Tonight, the generally charming bloke who usually takes my key back was not in the mood to get up, and he told me he'd get my key back in storage soon. I trusted him, but if there's any problem with the key, I'll slap him. Literally.
I hope I won't have to growl, and I hope I was right to trust him...
*fingers crossed I won't have to update this post*

You have to trust occasionally, otherwise you close your heart and mind to any chance of trust!
it means you get hurt and abused occasionally and sometimes even thrown in your face, but you also find good folks and new people to trust!
Oh, yes! *hugs*
I think I was somewhat nervous because I really don't know that man well, and the disappearance of the key would have been terrible.
Nothing odd happened this time. :)
