From the Morning Sun

Do you know japanese policemen very strict, especially with foreigner? I think maybe many foreigners come to Japan. In Japan, many foreigner make accident and some foreigners make overstay. Then makes japanese policemen very strict. In Japan, Internasional Driving Licence from Indonesia (makes from Ikatan Motor Indonesia) can use in Japan only 1 year. More than 1 year, if you make again, it means illegal. You must make Japanese Driving Licence if you stay more than 1 year in Japan. 

Utsunomiya is second most accident in Japan after Hokaido.It isnot easy if we want to get Japanese driving Licence in Utsunomiya. In Utsunomiya, have 2 type for testing, writing test and driving test. Maybe writing test you can pass only 1 time, but driving test normally take until 10 times. If you arenot lucky, maybe you can take driving test more than 10 times. Maybe only American foreigner and Korean foreigner take driving test only 1 time. I think betwen Japan, America and Korea make aggreement about that. Another city except Hokaido and Utsunomiya, test for Japanese Driving Licence isnot strict.   

In Japan, garbage disposal is very important. You must know when　ｔhrow garbage, because different type garbage you must seperate. In Japan has three type garbage, recycle garbage, unrecycle garbage and burnable garbage. Recycle garbage likes book, paper, can, bottle or cloth(if its good), unrecycle garbage likes vas, battery, kitchen equipment, umbrella etc, and burnable garbage likes kitchen garbage (from food, vegetable, fish and meat).

Every region different day for throwing garbage. At my region, every monday and thursday for burnable garbage, wednesday for unrecycle garbage and friday for recycle garbage.  

But for big garbage, if you want throw garbage, you must pay. Example you want throw car, you must pay 20.000 JPN to garbage disposal station. If you throw bycle, cupboard, chair, table, and another bigthing, you also pay money.    

I think its a good idea, because city office doesnot need much money for burning garbage and also good for resource.  

In japan, the subject is very interesting. When my husband wants to legalize his master degree certificate, his professor was so excited. Cause, the Japan system do not recognize a legalized certificate, the copy is enough. Good name of the professor or teacher can make guarantee their student. It means that japan system is entrusted society, no need to make a legalized copy, because the copy itself is sufficient. 

In Indonesia, every body makes a legalized certificate for going to school or job, the copy of certificate is not enough. Why? because Indonesia system is low trust society.
