Ohh I understand this of course, it's still very subjective. Most of the US finds Japan to be a place full of weird traditions and strange behaviors. We have a show with a segment called "What's up with Japan?"
Attack of the Show I am sure the Japanese don't find it so strange. My contention was just that who's to say they are trying to be something they are not and are just being themselves? We got this all sorted now
I myself find it funny how enamored Japan is with all things western because to me its pretty normal but I understand it as the 2 extremes
