All the people that live to 100 and more,they get there by enjoying life[and of course being active etc]. The Japanese still live the longest.
They probably won't,I'm sure an entire country's people's traits won't change that easily.

how do you know that the japanese do not like to talk about anything heavy.
do you mean that they choose to ignore the unpleasant things in their lives.
we don't know what they discuss with each other do we?
i admit i hate listening to the news, because its always focussed on the bad things that are happening, but sometimes we have to face facts.
i think serious thinking and planning ahead is essential for those in charge in japan.
many of those japanese caught up in the disaster need to be rehomed etc. they have many problems to be solved. i hope this country is doing all it can to help them.
our uk govt. and nato have made things in libya much worse--but not prepared to go in and help those poor people who are being killed or injured.
i am ashamed of what uk and nato have done--------
our current govt. gives us cause for pessimism, but individuals also still know how to be cheerful with each other even though we moan.
