There're many reasons for why I love Japan, some to start with:
1/ The Sushi are very good once you got used to eat it with Wasabi (Or Mustard, if correct), sweet and a bit mustard-ish, yummy :mrgreen: .

2/ Some sceneries are very beautiful like Mt. Fuji, the Torii gates, the shrines, the cherry blossoms etc.

3/ Japan is eco-friendly which means that there will be less pollution (From the Kyoto protocol thing) and you can live your normal lives without worrying 'bout the Ozone layer getting ripped out , the street is usually clean and tidy, unlike some countries I know....

4/ The Tea ceremony (Or "Chanoyu") is a very delighting thing to do, it isn't as boring as it looks, you'll feel peaceful and harmonious with you inner self and your surrounding as shown how the bitterness of the tea blends perfectly into the sweetness of the cake accpompanied with, I'm proud of that tradition and so glad to know that it's such an enjoyable thing to do, we do it every Sunday. Although I wouldn't say that it would be comfortable for everyone because sitting "Seiza Style" (The "bend-your-knees" thing, I don't know that in English) can cause the pin-needle feeling for most people who are unfamiliar with that.

5/ Another thing that makes Japan so unique is its martial arts, some are also taught in other countries like Judo, Kendo, Akido and the rarer one I really love is "Tessenjustu" which teaches you how to use steel fans in combat. Music... aside from the J-pop thing, traditional songs are pretty good, too, the sound of the Shamisen and the Koto can evocate the past of Japan just through the sound of plucking a string.

(I think that just some of it...) :roll:

Wow well when I saw these it made me realize that most of you I dont think know what goes on behind the curtins, cuz im sure if you did then im sure your views would be diffrent, mainly that whole freedom of speech thing is the biggest bull crap I ever heard, ofcource they say its true and ok, but its really not, were always gonna be ruled by high ups, so the freedom and indipendent saying is saddly a huge lie made by the governments and other high groups....

Its very sad though but someone should look up whats really going on in our world because most of what we belive is a bunch of lies and were gonna suffer in the future for them...

I hate to say it but the crap that goes on that people should know about makes all countrys and places defiled due to the secrets.

Yeah countrys are beautifull and have great things to offer the world but thats just the outer core of our societies, but deep down so many false prophets and lies and its just disgusting to even think about, so I guess all we can do is see the outer beauty and try not to think about whats beneath it all....

I'm happy with the freedom of speech rules. In some countries, what I've said about our leaders would get me killed... Yeah, there's a lot of nasty stuff that happens behind closed doors, but most countries these days aren't as bad as they were.
