A country I’d like to visit: Japan

A kind of knowledge that I give much value is to visit places of the World. Travelling means discover a new culture, a new language, and a new World! That’s because I want go to a place where people, cosmovision, and practices are very different to mine.
              Through novels, films, and comics (that they call manga) I’ve knew some of the japanese culture. They really appreciate the formalities, rituals, and solemnity in every aspect of their daily life, respecting to elders and traditions, at a level that is unintelligeble for us. It doesn’t mean that I want to follow their culture, but to know how these practices work in a society. I think, for example, political manifestation or atypical forms of life in Japan are unthinkable, and is interesting to me understand why this is just like that.


              Japan is for me a mysterious place. For one hand, is one of the principal culture industry (with their cinema, visual arte, aesthethic, music, manga, and anime), characterised for the rare and incomprehensible; and, for the other hand, is a place that exercise the discipline, the formality, and the solemnity own of an old world.
                I want go to Japan for a life experience and, obviosuly, for the food! Did you know that Japan is the place with more awarded restaurants for square meter?

    1. Hi, Ivana. Long time no see. Very good question: when I was very child, I saw a classic of the anime (no "manga", manga is like "comic" for us), called "Neon Genesis Evangelion". Also, I saw Pokémon and I was a very fan of that!

      You other question is very interesting, indeed is a problem for my doctoral research. Can we discusse that in person?
