| What the heck is up with Japan? How did it get to be so incredibly weird and hilariously amusing? What’s in the water there that makes Japanese people so concerned with showing just the right amount of deference to each other while at the same time whacking each other in the crotch with sticks on national TV? What is it that makes them the world leader in coming up with useless inventions (it’s an actual art)? What is it that makes them advertise using bizarre, pointless commercials? What makes them want to combine firearms and cartoons? Appointing cartoon ambassadors? Sexualizing noodles?! Ok, that one freaks me out, and it only scratches the surface of all the weird stuff going on in Japan in that area…no comment there. |

If I hadn’t already invested so much time in learning Chinese, I’d probably have my face buried in a Japanese grammar book right now. Here’s a cool Japanese commercial: |

“What the heck is up with Japan?”
I mean this in the nicest possible way, but they are just a bit more childish than other people. I think Japan is a country of Peter Pans.
I think so, and I love that for the most part! I wish China would loosen up like that. Yes, I understand why they haven’t…
