Interesting discussion so far.

I've heard that Koreans are more patriotic and natiolalist than Japanese... almost like Americans in that it's a militaristic "My country is the greatest" type of patriotism. I suppose having a volatile Northern neighbour who you are technically still at war with will do that to you. Not to mention the compulsory military service.

In saying that though.... my experiences with people of both cultures have varied and I couldn't really tell the difference in behaviour between Koreans and Japanese. (Though that might have something to do with the fact that I'm usually drunk when I'm with these guys haha...)
