New Preschool In Japan Collects Rainwater Into Puddles For Kids To Play In

The Dai-Ichi Yochien preschool building in Kumamoto City in southern Japan has a special innovation that lets ‘kids be kids’ – a courtyard that collects rainwater into one giant, clean puddle that kids can stomp and splash through.

At that moment, it is often too late to understand that as we’re already caught up in the thought and obsessing about it. It’s even more unpleasant when you know that something you lost was actually stolen. While losing means being deprived of something, stealing adds that feeling of having your privacy breached....
