Politeness


Back to Tokyo... I've seen another example of Japanese politeness this morning from my kitchen window.

I'm at home making corn muffins for Lucinda's school's International Food Fair tomorrow. It's a fresh, sunny day out, and my kitchen windows are open.

Just now, a street-construction truck pulled up outside our house, and a worker came to my door to apologize, in advance, for 2 minutes of jackhammering.
