I'm fascinated by Japan because they are more isolated then the UK and have a outgrown local (local like a township, not even city) culture distinction with 'outsiders' and 'insiders'. I somewhere can understand the 'suicide spread' and 'otaku culture' they are so isolated and have a LOWKEY nazi(like) social understanding mixed with a lot of, for my reference, medieval understanding of classes.

The ZEN culture is honest in all it's aspects, when you've done all the training you will become either an 'angel' or a 'demon', you just know how the 'world' works and how to warp or deconstruct reality.

They can lick, but they don't stick.
