I've had an attraction to the culture since I was young.
Martial arts always caught my attention (especially samurai) even though I haven't ever taken 1 class! I find the amount of work and skill involved in making a katana (or any sword for that matter) is something which should be cherished and never lost. The language I find is great (at least kana). I don't know any Kanji yet, so I don't have anything to say other than it's been a hard time motivating myself to learn the language on my own while looking forward to eventually memorizing a ton of them. I just want to be able to have conversations with people in Japanese & maybe do some basic reading/writing. I also like (as someone previously said) the attitude of the general population; which is you are responsible for yourself. I really have come to anguish in the matter of how we are babied here in the US. The life there just seems something I would enjoy to experience. |

Are there gas stations in America where you pull into the area and a bunch of people run towards your car, direct you where to go, hand you towels to clean the inside of your car, wipe off all of your windows, empty your trash and ash tray, and then even stop traffic so you can leave?
No.... |
