That perfectly relates to my original point of the
excuse scenario.
I am finding in Australia that an Aussie and non Australian relationship always leans towards the non Australian thinking the Aussie should understand his or her culture, although I'm not believing that the non Australian is interested in understanding Aussie culture.
Having said that, I don't think Australia has much culture being such a young country.
In that respect, could it possibly be that other European, Asian and American cultures or much stronger, hence the need for Australians to understand more?
It's going to be a difficult debate, although would be great to hear some more Japanese opinions on the topic, considering Japanese culture is so strong.
By the way, did the Japanese culture originate from Korean culture?
