[Mysterika]

Okay, so, perhaps our grandparents and stuff may not like the Japanese, but what do YOU like about Japan?

I love their technology, and anime/manga!! heart whee  

[cold_blooded_chick]

Japan originated form China, so that's...something...

I like the culture, probably because it's so similar to ours, but seems more mystic, since it is forieng after all.

Tokyo is the fashion capital! heart
Yea.. but I really don't care bout fashion... Oh I know I'll make a list..

Eh 90% of everything Japanese came from China. However I give them kudos on their technology / video games. Other than that...not much. sweatdrop

I used to be into anime/manga...now i just find them rather dull. Oh yea...fashion, Tokyo street fashion is worth seeing. They wear so much stuff on them, yet not enough to cover most places. XD

1093843 bracelets + 2 inch skirt... woot!

However, they do have a very good fashion sense. ^^

lol true^^ don't forget the 10 inchh platforms =P
and there is story that says that japan originated from a chinese princess . let's see the story says that there was a chinese princess and she was nice and then something got her pregnant and she had to run for her life then the gods liked her and made and island come out to the water just for her and she gave birth to the first japanese person on that island. but that's just a story. i'm not sure if it came from china or japan. lol
a more logical reasoning is that in ancient times people fron china fled to japan to begin their own government because it was too oppressive in china and then it was known as japan.

That's actually not how Japan started...although i do like that pregant girl story. The real story is that, in the second dynasty. The Qin, the emperor also known as Qin Shi Huang, (this guy ordered the Great Walll to be built) searched for the fountain of youth. He sent his men to as far as he could, the monks that he sent out to Japan was stuck in Japan due to a particular violent thunderstorm, their ships were lost and they never got the chance to come back. Hence the start of the country of Japan.

so technically, it should be rightfully chinese? ancestry, historically spawned? intriguing....

Yes, I DO know that Japan originated from China sweatdrop ( Very easy to tell so when studying their language systems. 3nodding ), but lets talk about what we like more about it in the present.

Having said Japan comes from China, I believe Korea also does. Random fact. *shrug

So, Kimonos, they're G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. I tried on a yukata in Hawaii, it took around 1hour and a bit more to fix up the sash. So kimonos, obviously much more elaborate and elegant, would take a lot more time.
Fashion wise, phhftt, Japanese chicks crazily acsessorize and mix and match, clashing everything together! Its not exactly very well co-ordinated, but it still is okay on the eyes, though at times, a bit OTT. sweatdrop Though I admit, very big fan of Hello Kitty, and Sanrio.

Hot springs, I certainly hope they are better then the ones in Korea. You gotta go naked in those ones. sweatdrop

As for anime/manga, I guess the reason why I love it so much is coz the cartoons are 'humanized' in a sense. And with a touch of Asian flair. The boys always look stunningly yummy. I'm currently hooked on Furuba. 3nodding

lol you crack me up xd
yes now that you mention clothes Japanese and chinese clothing a very similar and kimonos are very pretty though i have yet to try one on.^^i'm not big on hello kitty but i do like chococat and kerropi^^ as for hot springs ew... no way am i going in the water naked. and yes boys in mangas are yummy. they're so yummy that sometimes i turn them into cookies and eat them up. and korea was a part of china but they won their independance throuhgh war and china has stopped going after it. I think the same goes for japan though there is no actual record. if china were to take back all the land that had broken away there'd be alot of things to take back.
