Japanese Culture

Umm can any native japanese explain to me a few things aboit japan culture. I know they are very conservative, and since I've been livign in america for the past 10 years am very open about things. My girl is in japan and she told me she was attending a christmas party and bringing her video camera becuase her friends wanted to have her bring it. I said if I could look at it after she got back, and she said "No" and I said why? and she goes because its private.. so in my head am like wow I just got pushed to the side.. whatever happened to sharing with your bf etc.. etc.. anyways I was slightly disappointed because I first thought she's hiding something from me so I wont get hurt, then I tried to cool down and ask her again. She was like its because they don't know you and am not suppose to show you them, and then I said but its not like am going to see them.. she got a bit upset but I tried to tone the convo down not to make it a big deal. But anyways can anyone fill me in on this cuz am a bit confused.

she is having a secret love affiar with your father.

end of story

i think she is sincere, but overreacting....culture shock, and she's taking it too far....being too respectful

Yup, we all know how Christmas in Japan goes...

man its coz of their crazy language

"Japanese culture"

that sounds kind of weird, but maybe she is just being polite. i lived in japan for 2 years, but that was like 6 years ago. western civilization is having a big affect on asian countries. all the teenagers are all punk rock now and it's not like it used to be. they are getting more and more liberal. my .2 don't know if it helps. it was probably this big, out of control bachelorette party w/ strippers and stuff and she's hiding it.






















jk. i'm sure it's nothing don't worry. japan though!? my god, how do u guys do it? no pun intended

japanese ppl are one of the horniest.. whats the legal age there, 16 ?, used panties sold in vending machines so business men can sniff them ? lol.. nuff said, i think they 'do' just fine.. sexually that is, other respectful issues a dif. story.

u dork, i meant how do they do it, as in carry on a relationship while she's in japan and he's in NYC. then i said no pun intended because i didn't want him to think i meant how do they have sex



and i remember a popular trend in japan when i was living there was older, rich business men paying shitloads of money to virgin high school girls to take their virginity, and the girls were wililng to do it so they could get the money. i also saw a porno vending machine in one of the more rural ares one time on a road trip. that was very interesting to say the least.

It's because the culture is so damned repressive. The kids still wear uniforms to school, heavy emphasis on schooling, and a successful career. There's supposed to be 100% respect for everyone, etc.

like wearing a school uniform is repression..

probably 90% of schools here make you wear a uniform, as do most others around the globe.

re: japanese kana, its pretty complicated. my other half is trying to teach herself japanese, only just got through kanji (the chinese type one).. its very wierd going from a romanised language to pictogram based language, words can mean completely different things.

Lets just say I got the habit of being patient

Leave it to us Americans to decide that wearing whatever you want is the norm. Still; when's the last time someone in the UK killed themselves over failing a test in school? They do that in Japan. (No, really ).

And as I recall, Kanji has something like 2000 commonly used characters, and there are tons more that are not commonly used? I assume you mean she just got through the commonly used ones.

better that they kill themselves instead of thier teacher and classmates. lol

I heard japanese are not afraid to hurt themselves. They are willing to cut their stomach with a knife right across.

i do?

Suicide over a bad test is just WRONG -- no matter how you look at it. Don't they realise that tests (especially standardised ones) are just one thing you do on one day? It never can determine how much a person knows. People have good and bad days all the time. I believe more in how someone performs all year in the academic environment rather than just one test taken at the end of the year being your grade for the whole class. If someone did very well all year and got, say a 60 % (failing at anywhere below 70 %) on the final exam (assuming that the final exam was just material that was already gone over), that would show that the particular person had an 'off' day. There shouldn't be anything big to worry about in such a case.

i think that was the old samurai way of killing themselves, rather than being disgraced for the rest of their lives
