Bisdak Babbles

Near Seishin Chuo train station:
Women and children donning their yukatas is the sight I love most here in Japan. Plus, seeing them dancing beneath the paper lanterns … what a refreshing sight! These are some of the “positive” indicators that I am really here in the Land of the Rising Sun. (I consider the unreadable signs and incomprehensible conversations as the “negative” ones).

I really would love to see people in the Philippines wearing the Baro’t Saya. Not just the politicians, politician’s wives and the celebrities… but ordinary people! How nice it would be to see almost everyone (not just the performers) wearing traditional dresses during fiestas and other special occasions. Unfortunately, I think these days the Baro’t Saya just represents a lady’s high social standing… do you think it’s high time we change this misconception?
