tinuruan ako dati ng magulang ko na mag luto, mag saing, mag laba, mag plantsa at water the plants. ganyan din ako ituturo ko sa mga chikiting ko paglumaki na.

The attitude of the the Japanese????? the Germans???? Last time I heard, both caused the death of millions of people worldwide from 1941 to 1945.

whenever i went TDY ( temporary duty) when i was still in the service, cooking skills came in handy. i did not have to walk or drive to the chow hall in knee deep snow for a lousy meal. i cooked my own food in the billeting. in fact, girls would visit my room to "share" a meal. i cooked whatever i felt like eating with whatever ingredients you can find in the commissary. it save me time, money and most of all, i did not starve

we are talking about the future. specially the future involving our kids. we are not talking about history. what i meant was, the japanese kids are taught how to behave and taught technology and production. the german kids, it is mandatory for every german citizen to serve in the military once they reach the age of 18. it is mandatory for german kids to get technical and vocational training.
