It's one of the reasons why in truth I'm glad I grew up American and why so many Japanese rebel and try to find individualism in like rock and stuff or become hikikomori. Japan--don't fix it if it isn't broken. Pretty shocking self-accounted tale.

I can sympathize with your plight when the teacher blew up at you. Way to keep your cool. I have deep love and fascination with Japanese culture, and anime in particular, but I've realized through these stories how deeply Western, and even more deeply American I am. Taking into account my mixed heritage, and a homogeneous situation like that would drive me crazy. This reminds me of Locohama’s posts on his extended time in that country.

I'll be making updates everyday this weekend since I have some free time for once, so be sure to look out for them!

I'm of Chinese, Vietnamese and Laotian ethnicity born and raised in Canada. My parents never really taught me anything about my culture, so when I went to China, it was really tough to understand the culture for me. Due to this, I made many mistakes and blunders which were really bad in Asian culture. Since I really believe in individuality and expressing yourself, I felt uncomfortable in many situations and would get lost in trying to figure out what I should do for situations. Although I'm not very educated in this area of talk, I think I would rather stick with an American way of thinking for myself at least. Maybe if I was older I could have handled things better, but I still had some fond memories of the trip at least (16 at the time of the trip). When you talked about your teacher, it reminded me of how I had a similar teacher. After enduring her fits of yelling just out at the class and such for a few days, I simply just took my stuff and left her class without a word. Excellent post man. I love learning whatever I can about societies and cultures. This post reminds me of when I went to China.
