I was very amused with one of the Japanese participants here in the office. We were doing some photocopying for the leaflets for tomorrow's Japanese Night to be held at Fort San Pedro. What amused me was that we wasted around 20 sheets of A4 paper just to get the leaflet copied with correct tone (darkness) and correct alignment (margins). We, volunteers, were all smiling when we saw them struggle to align it properly. When they saw some of us looking amused, one of the Japanese said, "We are Japanese.". Wow! Bang! That suddenly wiped those smiles off our face. Deep inside we recognized their keen-ness to detail. This awareness perhaps is one of the best things I have experienced throughout my helping in this convention.

Gotta go and watch over the copy machine printouts. There will be 500 copies to be made and one speckle of dust on the prints could mean my life for these people.
