Kit Kats Galore: Japan is known for having a wide variety of unique Kit Kat flavors, ranging from matcha (green tea) to sake to sweet potato. These flavors are often region-specific and make for interesting souvenirs.

Punctuality is a Virtue: Japanese trains are famous for their punctuality. They are so precise that delays of even a minute are uncommon and can make headlines.

Capsule Hotels: Japan introduced the concept of capsule hotels, which offer compact sleeping pods for travelers. These hotels provide an affordable and efficient way to rest, particularly in bustling urban areas.

World's Oldest Hotel: Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan in Yamanashi Prefecture holds the Guinness World Record for being the oldest hotel in the world. It was founded in 705 AD and has been run by the same family for over fifty generations.

High-Tech Toilets: Japanese toilets are renowned for their advanced features, including heated seats, bidet functions, and even built-in music to maintain privacy.

Bowing Traditions: Bowing is an important gesture in Japan, used for greetings, gratitude, and apologies. The depth and duration of the bow convey the level of respect and formality.

Cherry Blossom Season: The arrival of cherry blossoms, or sakura, is celebrated with picnics and parties during hanami (flower viewing) season. It's a beautiful time when parks and streets are adorned with pink and white blossoms.

Vending Machine Diversity: Japan has a vending machine for almost everything, from hot drinks and fresh fruit to electronics and even umbrellas.

Innovative Architecture: Japan boasts impressive modern architecture alongside historic temples and castles. The Tokyo Skytree, a broadcasting tower, is one of the tallest structures globally.

Kawaii Culture: The concept of "kawaii," or cuteness, is pervasive in Japan. It influences fashion, entertainment, and even business branding.

World's Fastest Train: The Shinkansen, also known as the bullet train, can reach speeds of up to 200 mph (320 km/h) and is famous for its efficiency and safety.

Haunted Hachiko: Hachiko, the loyal Akita dog, is known for waiting at a Tokyo train station every day for over nine years after his owner's death. His statue at Shibuya Station is considered a symbol of devotion.

Who agrees with this? I think that the Balkan region is particularly susceptible due to various cognitive dissonances, cultural confusion and cults of personalities. The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

Title: Trail Drive Location: Downtown Dallas, Texas Sculptor: Robert Summers   Photos Credit: Alice Lowe for the Art & Design Matters Texas Art Crawl; close up photos of a portion of this massive sculpture setting.   The setting for this spectacular historical tableau is in Pioneer Plaza, a 4.2 acre park with an artificial waterfall and stream in front of the Dallas Convention Center. The Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau considers Pioneer Plaza "the most photographed attraction in the city." Much of his Western art demonstrates his love of wildlife and the cowboy spirit of the small Texas town.   #admsupportsthearts #visitDallas #visitTexas #sculptor #sculpture #DallasArt #museumcurator #artcurator #artcollector #artcollecting #traildrive #admTexasArtCrawl #massivesculpture #admArtInPublicSpaces #ArtInPublicSpaces #CultureTrip #CultureTravel #CultureTraveler #Dallas #Texas #ArtandDesignMatters #bronzesculpture #PublicArt #artanddesign #longhorns #TexasLonghorns #ArtHistory #ArtHistorian #Cowboy #westernart (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDfbweaAIBz/?igshid=1nx5e2o4kus8u

THEN & NOW @Akiiki Romeo Making it to the top in the 90s and 2000s, Akiiki Romeo showed that you can beat the odds and be the best. Through his music mostly sang in Runyoro Rutooro, Romeo became a legend of Ugandan music who together with the KADS Band alongside the likes of Jose Chameleone, Bebe Cool, Bobi Wine and Afrigo Band among others made Ugandan music popular locally and globally. Akiiki Romeo has inspired a generation of the next big artists especially from Bunyoro & Tooro with his all time hits, crowd favorites like Garuka, No Parking, Kankulinde, Genda Mpora, Kiki Eki Oroho(Bukiire), Tibingana, Sure Deal and many others. He made a marker that you can sing in your language, the language you understand best and make it to the top. Akiiki Romeo is a legend, an all time inspiration and one of the best vocalists to ever live. His music to date makes hair rise with goosebumps.

Manuel Felguerez Mexican, born 1928 Entre dos almas (Between Two Souls), 1992 Oil on canvas Purchased with funds provided by the Ewing Halsell Foundation Photo Credit: Alice Lowe for the Texas Art Crawl. “Every plane contains potentially infinite volumes. Opt for one, and create a relief; color will also assume dimension. Then take the volume and develop it in space, demonstrate that the concept painting-relief-sculpture is obsolete, exhausted,that form-color is one within relative spaces”…….Manuel Felguerez Manuel Felguerez was born in 1928 in Zacatecas, Mexico. He moved to Mexico City to study sculpture at the Academia de San Carlos and La Esmeralda School of Art. He began exhibiting in the early 1950’s in Paris and Mexico City and continues to exhibit worldwide today. Felguerez has taught for many years at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and was also a visiting professor at Cornell University. In 1976, he was Visiting Researcher at Harvard University, where he collaborated with other scholars on the use of computers in design. He has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim grant. Entre dos almas is typical of many of Felguerez’s paintings from the early 1990’s in which he explores composition in two dimensions. His paintings include lyrical explorations of curved organic forms juxtaposed with geometric elements. The cool metallic gray background of this work is reminiscent of the high technology and computer elements which influenced Felguerez’s work in the late 1970’s. Felguerez’s paintings are closely related to many of his sculptural reliefs.
