Got me curious on the German/Japanese mentality being similar, could you elaborate please?
- strebler 9y agoJapan is sort of the Germany of Asia. Both are very detail-oriented people, well known for craftsmanship, significant amount of global exports, their trains are always on time, etc.
- ashildr 9y ago> trains are always on time If I would not hold the German black belt in suppressing my emotions I would have laughed uncontrollably. (Though compared to the trains in the U.K...)
- bitL 9y agoSuppression of emotions, following rules to the letter, indifference/coldness to each other, "Weltschmerz" visible on faces, protestant work ethic (=stick at work doing nothing to show bosses you are working) etc. Other parts of Germany feel slightly different though (Bavarians seem much happier), it might be just Frankfurt.
