>I write often about how the Japanese love it when foreigners take an interest in their culture, and nothing is more fascinating to them than seeing a gaikokujin who knows more about a certain subject than Japanese do themselves. I recently caught another TV show that introduced these kinds of unique foreigners called "Like! Japan" First there was a traditional enka singing competition in New York followed by a spirited trivia contest because hardcore foreign fans of AKB48, then a father-and-son combo in Italy who love Japanese trains and could name all the train stations on Tokyo's Yamanote loop line. Finally there was a competition between four Americans who could best be described as "Japanese history otakus," possessing a huge amount of knowledge of Oda Nobunaga, one of the most famous names in Japanese history. They were able to answer such tricky questions as, "When Akechi Mitsuhide brought his army into Kyoto to assassinate Nobunaga, what did his say to his troops before fighting?" (The answer was Teki wa Honno-ji ni ari! "The enemy awaits at Honno-ji temple!")

Oct 17, 2011 (The Nation/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) --
One fine morning, pandemonium broke out in a South Korean supermarket, and customers and shop stewards alike scampered for safety. Babies strapped on their mothers' backs, others in prams screamed as their parents sought the nearest exits.

And it wasn't a terrorist attack, neither was it a band of robbers who had raided the convenience store. No, it wasn't a fire alert either.

One Kenyan woman had just walked in to make a purchase.

"It was terrible!" recalls the woman, Everlyne Nyambegera. "Children were crying, their mothers dashing for the exits and all this made me also break down and start crying too."

Chinese from Canada here, Chinese people actually eat watermelon seeds and sunflower seeds.

Watermelon seeds (the large variant) are salted, then either sun-baked or baked in an oven. Once dry, you can break them open and eat the kernel inside, which is quite tasty. Same goes for sunflower seeds, though they are sometimes fried in fragrance oils.

Actually if you've watched NHK world you would know that they don't boast about their culture that much. The one country that actually brags about their shitty culture is Corea. I was watching a program on Arirang the other day where they played a supposedly ancient corean instrument and analyzed the sound, rhythm and stuff etc. Then a bunch of foreigners were interviewed about the play at the end of the program, they were all saying things like "this changed my whole life, I wanna come to Corea again!" . It was fucking facepalm inducing, pathetic and blatant.

At least Japan has something to brag about while Corea does this shit with their non-existential culture.

Also why the fuck do you even care? Do you spent your whole day on youtube arguing just because someone said something stupid? I'm not the kind of person you described, but this boggles my mind.

>>10021339
I think it's immature to cry about things like that when this shit happens everywhere with every other country. It clearly shows that you're having a bias yourself against anything pro-Japan and bear a grudge of some sort. Why don't you, for example, cry about other people for having bias towards American games? Or music? Is it because you take it for granted that you can't accept anything else as superior?
