Picture Description

This picture depicts a scene outside the entrance of the Universal Studios amusement park of Japan as stated on its sign hanging above the entrance.There is also a a wreath of leaves hanging beneath the logo,so it must be Christmas season somewhere at the end of the year when this photo was taken.

The amusement also seems to be located somewhere in the rural part of Japan as unlike its urban counterpart,there is no high rise buildings surrounding it or near its premises.Also,it seems that the amusement park is undergoing some construction to its facilities as as shown by the crane used in construction sites,or even building up new ones to upgrade the place to attract more tourists.

The Universal Studios also seem to be rather empty as shown in the picture.Thus,I believe that it must be a weekday,with less people coming to visit the park due to the hectic and busy schedule the Japanese have,leaving them only weekends to visit such places for entertainment and leisure.Therefore,I believe that the people in this picture may be tourists and foreigners,who have come to visit one of Japan's places of interest.

In the background,the people there are all wearing overcoats and winter wear,so it must be cold then in the area as it is late autumn-early winter season,when the weather becomes cooler even during the day.A man in the background also seem to be giving out tickets to his family for entry into the Studios.I believe he must have took time off to bring his family out for vacation and take the time to bond more as a family.

The other woman in the picture wearing a bright electric blue coat seem to be on her own or rejoining her group elsewhere as she does not seem to be part of the family.As it is seen that she is walking past them.

I personally think that Singaporeans should be more like the family in the picture and spend more time with one another despite the little time we have everyday.And that we should not pour over our books like nerds do by burying themselves in our studies till we neglect those around us that we care for.regardless of time and seasons alike.In Singapore or not.
