@Glen: Haha, indeed that is very strongly stereotyped sentence. Oh the things we say to emphasis a point

Thanks for taking the time to round me up.

I can choose to be as polite and reserved as a Japanese, or as loud and in your face as an American. I can haggle as much as an Indian salesman if I really want to.

Heh, that’s quite a strict statement of stereotyping there, there are obviously quiet Americans and in your face Japanese people

I actually think you should take your own advice on this (which was excellent):

The external world is what it is, work with it don’t interpret it too much.

@Patricia: Thanks for your input Patricia. Our values are really what matters most as those are the criteria that we base our decisions upon.

I’m looking forward to going to Japan next year to get a real taste of Japanese culture.

Good point you have there.I also consider myself a global nationality.I’m from Argentina, and most of the things I read are from English speaking people,some others are from different parts of the world since values are what interest me most.As an EFL teacher and counselor my interests go from English language to personal development so many different people from different cultures are a must read for me. Thanks for your insight
