Hello, Michiko,
Why are you so interested in Japan and Japaneses? Have you ever been to this country?
How do you like it to live in Canada?

yaponski_bog, Unfortunately I've never been to Japan, but I'm working on visiting after I finish university in 2 years. :)
I simply love the culture for how wise, artistic, disciplined, and loyal it encourages you to be - it's almost like a religion. And that's waht I value in people and what I cultivate in myself.
I like it here in Canada. A lot of freedom: you can chose your religion, who to love, what to do...
Why do you like Japan?

Yes, I love Japan very much though I've nener wished I were a japanese.
They are very different and I don't think you'd like to lead such a live.
Japaneses let me live my own live, they never meddle in it and I'm very much obliged to them.
I love their culture that became their religion, I love their attitude to nature, they actually live with and inside nature.

yaponski_bog, I agree with most you say. I like having my freedom to do what I wish. But do they really live within nature? I heard Tokyo doesn't have any nature in it?
