Japan? or Asia

MRHJSIMPSON · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hello!

Hey guys...do you find, like me

that what has started as an innocent interest in Japan has now branched out into an interest into different Asian cultures? Hence the reason why I look at other websites like koreanfilm and blue moon and the tiger beer website.

Tiger Beer
Koreanfilm.org - Movie reviews, news, actor info and more from Korea

However when it comes to things I actually want to discuss I love the Japan Forum because of the story games but mainly because I feel like I have something to say and more things in common with you guys.

actually i started out liking a lot of asian things in general and then i became more focused on Japan. But I still like many different types of cultures!

But I think that South Korean films have got a lot in common with Manga...there is the darkness and computer game like plot of Old Boy, the epicness of Seopyeonje etc. I learnt a lot fro comparing different Asian cultures. Japan is still the focal point of my interest but it has also helped me understand and appreciate different Asian cultures that before felt too alien and different.

So you don't think that knowing a lot about one part of Asia effected your interest?

hmm..well i think it did to a degree seen as some of the culural aspects are similar but i think i still would of been interested in them if i wasnt interested in japan.....do get me???

With ya! I do kinda agree really. Living in the UK, so far away from Asia, it is more of a danger to just lump all Asian things together than to really understand an individual countries culture. Its like that website Oldboyghost mentioned in that other thread. The one which had all the best things of Asia? That pissed me off a bit....even though I was interested.
