Everyday is a Learning Day

Just came back from Tokyo, Japan with the family. In Tokyo, we decided to visit Tokyo Disneyland or, actually Disneysea.


The night before we went, I was just looking at the direction to Disneyland. In the brochure, it mentioned that we can go from Tokyo station to Maihama - gate at Disneyland. However, from where we stayed, we needed to take a train to Tokyo station. We had to walk about 500m to catch a train to connect us to Tokyo station.

Direction from brochure

Out of curiosity, I decided to ask the hotel concierge for direction. Here is the learning point ... The guy helping me was a trainee. I clearly saw his badge as "Trainee". Hence, I didn't think much of him. When he showed me the direction to Disneyland, it was completely different from the brochure. My first reaction was, what does he know ... ??

Guess what? When I showed the direction to my cousin - my cousin actually told me that the trainee's direction is better for us!! We do not need the 500m walk as he used the train station directly in front of our hotel, Higashi Ginza - which was a mere 10m walk! Really 10m.

I realised that I can learn something anytime and from anyone. What a lesson.


Direction from the trainee

Well, at least Disneyland was worth it.
