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.
