Japanese Time

I wanted to share with one of my students the experience of waiting for an unnecessary walk sign in Japan, the feeling of obeying the sign, even in the middle of the night, on an empty street.  But since he was still learning to wait for the metronome and to embrace that feeling, I didn't think that the feeling would be transmitted to him.  It can be so hard to wait, so hard to fill out the time, so hard to obey an arbitrary rule of order.  Thank you, Japan.
