Going Hi Tech~~~

Recently in my area supermarkets,there have been new changes..

They added a new special area for Auto Cashier...meaning is you can be your very own cashier..hehe..

The photo above is the auto cashier machine..

You just have to scan the bar code of your purchase,located at the square window,and just follow the instructions...

I asked my daughter to do the auto cashier process,while I took these photos with my handphone.

Notice the plastic bags on the left hand side..you can open them out to be ready when you have scaned your purchase and just put it into these plastic bags.

But ,from this April 1 st,onwards we will be charge a small amount if we use this plastic bag,so we would have to use our own shopping bags or shopping basket to bring back our purchase.

After scanning all the purchase,the t.v icon will show ,how much you have to pay.It is really very easy,just like a ATM machine,you just have to press whether you want to pay by cash or by credit card.

This time ,I purposely try to pay by cash..the process is just like an auto venting machine for soft drinks.

You just have to insert the notes into the machine and also coins.The amount will automatically appear in the t.v icon.So even if you do not have small changes,you can over pay,and the small changes will comes out in another compartment of this machine.

I find this system is very nice as the next person will have to wait in a yellow line,until there is a vacant machine available.

There are eight machines,four on each row,so we have our own privacy..scaning and paying for our purchase.

There are the normal cashier area also where the cashier will attend to you,but sometimes,they are so crowded and I feel this auto cashier machine will sure comes in handy.

You do not need to worry even if you make a mistake as there is also a buttom to press for help.A sales personal will come and assist you...not bad ,right???(^0^)

Boring weekend~~~

As usual,I will always looks forward to enjoy my weekend by watching as many as i can my favourite dramas..but this weekend ,I was so disapointed as some online dramas website were ban from showing these hong kong dramas.

So,even from some of the other website which allowed us to see,they were lagging very bad,maybe due to the heavy flow of online users..

I found a few dramas which are interesting like.."The royal tramp".."Marriage of inconvenience".."The greatest of a hero"..and "General Pao"..interesting..

So anyone of you have any interesting dramas titles to share with me?..hehehe...

Different country different cultures~~~

After staying in japan for so many years,I found that there are several amusing things about japanese people.
One of them is they are crazy about slippers.Now ,why do I say this???
The reason is there are so many kind of slippers for every reason.
For instant,when you want to enter a japanese household,the host will put a pair of slippers for you to wear.
Then if you want to enter the toilet,there is another set of slippers,specially for toilet use!!!
Then the school children too have to take out their outdoor shoes when they enter school and change into their indoor slippers before entering their classroom,and offcourse in the school toilets too have several sets of toilet slippers..

Another amusing thing about japanese ,is when you are in a japanese home,do not enter the kitchen.
The japanese woman does not like anyone to invade her kitchen,so unless she invite you to help her out,it is a taboo to enter her kitchen ,even it it means to help her wash up the cups or what...

Another amusing thing is I noticed is the ladies will use their hand to cover their mouth when they laugh..I mean not those short laugh..

I best is I like about their culture is when you want to cross the road and when there is no zebra crossing.You just have to put up one hand and the cars which are coming your direction will slow down and stop for you to pass.I wonder if this practice can be done in our own country??

Another amusing thing is that when in a clinic..there are usually children books on the rack beside other magazines.
Those japanese mothers will read those children books for their kids to hear..so you can just imagine..on one bench ,there are at least three mothers reading different books at the same time..amusing,right???
