should one generalise a whole nation?

surely they are individuals as are we?

none of us are perfect. One can give a certain illusion about country men and women--but most are simply surviving.

As Shakespeare so eloquently put it--

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,


So true. We all put on an act for others.

Maybe the Japanese are even better actors than some others.
