Japan: The dhaqan of respect and cleanliness is out of this world walahi. I saw random people just walking around the streets and cleaning and helping the cleaners doing their "job", Being a cleaner in Japan has to be the easiest work in the world since no one is littering there :banderas:

Somalia could've been like that.

Yeah, there is a lot to learn from confucian cultures. I saw elementary school kids clean their own classrooms and toilets when they were in school to teach them the value of taking responsibility.
Wow
Mashallah, all the best in your studies
Oh, I’ve seen it in a report that they clean the school after the end of the day. Lol what Kid likes to do that. It’d be amazing if such values were instilled on our own Somalis in my opinion.
