actually this is the most beautiful thing i've heard today...
"mina yashashi eh.."
i was on the train when a japanese couple board.. the wife was pregnant and she was sitting beside me.. they seem to be tourists to Singapore as she was holding a guidebook and discussing with her husbad as to where to go.. it seems that they wanted to go to the Merlion.. so the people around them (including me) started giving them directions.. and it was a good thing that they know a bit of English..
after all that direction giving, the wife said lotsa stuff to her husband in Japanese of which i only understood.. "mina yashashi eh" (everybody's so kind!) and that really made my day..
