Hmmm....silliness. The mother of all misguided misconceptions. Have you heard that before? Well, it's been mentioned in the Korean forum. must be one frickin' gigantic twist.

In the North-East Asian cultural/societal realm of things. Have mountains. Near each other. Rapid economic development in 2nd half of 20th century.

Behaviour-wise, way of thinking etc.........man, they're opposite.

Just my 2 cents worth.

What do you reckon?

Could do a poll on the 'japan with a twist' theory. agree/don't agree....maybe. Aah...Probably not.

Totally agree. I spent 15 months living in Korea, and apart froma few cultiral similiarities it`s basically chalk and cheese.

Korea: SUCKS
Japan: doesn't suck

Does it get any simpler than that?

If you define "twist" as "school owners will do everything in their power to rip you off, treat you like crap, then wonder why you did a midnight run", then yes.
