I have always wanted to learn about foreign cultures. I like meeting people from different places, and learning about how we are similar and how we are different. However, there is one culture I have always had a little more fascination with than any other. It is the Japanese culture. The main reason is that I like watching a lot of Japanese movies. Also, in my childhood, I used to read a lot of Japanese manga, which are Japanese graphic novels and anime, which are Japanese cartoons. Even now, I sometimes play some anime series on You tube or Netflix. I have found that Japan is different from all others in some ways.
