Accessible Facilities

Priority Parking ProblemBeing steal a priority parking by someone else is greatly hurtful and quite a big society issue. It demonstrates a characteristic habit and attitude of people in that living society. We, sometimes, seem to judge what we so-called civilization based on materialism, but miss social rules and those mental values like empathy, compassion, or sympathy. And I am wondering that is it a true prosperity in long-run? “Nice car boy! But well your heart is broken.” Live picture recently from my friend. As you see, the car’s wheel is being locked.

On a journey to study the basic accessible facilities, the most important was to be able to test and examine whether it’s suitable and can be used in our daily lives. This is why I call my trip as a “mission for everyone”. In addition, testing is very important and also the information would be much more valuable when we could hear the stories from people who were being involved and work close to these issues.
