  • apparently this has become a place to diss the japanese which, speaking as an english-japanese, is quite funny actually as obviously some of you are incredibly ignorant and have probably never been to japan in your life. It is an awesome country which has an amazing unique culture like every other country in the world...and yes, that includes China and [Korea]. It has very beautiful temples, yummy food, quirky gadgets that make you re-think the japaneses [sanity] and some very cool people...some [japanese people] are reserved, but sometimes, once you get them to open their shell they can be as fun and crazy as yourself.

Some [adore] manga and anime, drinking sake, [karaoke] bars etc. The Japanese are proud of their country, but haven’t they a right to be? I think many work way too hard, but I guess it hasnt really harmed them as they have made Japan one wicked place to go and visit. In all, it’s difficult to quite [sum up] a Japanese person without mentioning their culture...it seems to go [hand in hand].
