| I’m sorry, but I gotta say again how awesome the total quirkiness and creativity of Japanese culture is. So much of their stuff is just so off-the-wall that it defies description, so I won’t even try. It would sound completely retarded if I did. But it’s hilarious. I’m addicted to Zuiikin English, which is an English learning video series. Language learning videos may sound boring, but in true Japanese style, Zuiikin English is totally bizarre and really entertaining, even if you’re a native English speaker. It’s not only the execution that’s funny but what they choose to teach. They teach rather abrasive, not-used-every-day English, but they do it with constant smiling, and sometimes they jazz things up with horribly-written and poorly-acted skits. Check out the video below to see what I’m talking about. A word of warning: If you’re prone to getting catchy tunes or chants stuck in your head, you may not wanna watch. |
| It’s like a train wreck, isn’t it? Simultaneously irritating and entertaining. Man, I really wish China would come up with stuff like this. Compared to Japan, you’re a bunch of stuffed shirts, China. Come on, get with it! |
