What is your favorite culture and why?

So what Odin is saying is all Americans are different, and all Japanese are basically the same?

Come on man, just think a little bit lol.
Their society isn't as open as ours.

And about the thing where they all look the same, I used to think that latina women are the prettiest. Does that mean they all look the same? No, tho they do share major similarities as with EVERY RACE!

My favorite nation, "culture", besides my own of course, is Spain. They share same religious believes as me, their country is simply beautiful, love their language, women, food, traditions, football clubs...did I mention women =). If I had the chance to visit any town whatsoever, it would definitely be Valencia where I would participate in their famous carnival, and visit Mestalla of course.

I've not even been to Japan, yet I can tell you how wrong that is. Japanese culture has evolved so much more than the west. Everything is completely different and diverse from what we have: farming, cuisine, literature, art, fashion, technology, religion, performing arts, sports, business, architecture, history... and more, and with each that could be listed here, a dozen roots spring from them into sections. To say it isn't as open is naive - Japan isn't a closed up little box lol.

You just proved my point while trying to disdain it.
Anyways, not risking warnings cause I can't properly explain so, I think my second favorite would be, either the farming culture of China.

I don't think she proved your point at all. It's a little hard to follow you, though. Point is, the more you talk, the more we start to get how you're just obsessed with a culture blindly. You have built up in your mind this haven for yourself that you believe exists in Japan, and all we're trying to say is it's not what you think. So really, we're just trying to help you out.

Hope this helps.

That's the thing. I know a hell of allot about Japan. No, not from animes and crap like that either. (not crap but ya know).
My friend who lives there is literally teaching me the ways of Japan, or how and what I should expect. I also have a "pen-pal" who is teaching me Japanese and she also tells me about different places, what again I should be expecting.
And in all honesty, I hate america and can't wait to get out of here fast enough.

I know I'm hard to follow and I'm sorry about that.

I'm not racist either, my best friend is black.

Don't flatter yourself over that. I meant you're hard to follow because you rarely make sense, logically.

Going on about your last comment about me proving your point, I really didn't. You described Japanese culture as smaller than your own, and I said it wasn't.

What kind of things do you expect? Sure, I know that over there, there are particular mannerisms you should follow out of respect, but mostly if you respect the people where you come from, there shouldn't be a huge problem over there. Also, what kind of "ways" are you on about? Japan is diverse - there's NO certain "way" of anything.

Also, I'm more or less with Treize. This thread has turned into an off-topic spam fest and it's making it difficult for other people to respond.

I meant to say that you are grouping all Japanese people in one culture called 'Japan', as if there is 1 Japanese culture that dominates all aspects of Japanese life.

Whatever. Didn't mean it in whatever aspect you guys are taking it.
NOw, enough with me and back to the damn thread.
