The simple question

The report by which a "japan Expo" is held in France was seen. The problem is that the contents are unrelated to Japan. With the report, most contents of the exposition are related to South Korea, and were shocked. Do you have a distinction in Japan, Korea, China?

While it's fair to say that these three cultures (among others) share many similarities (such as how Americans share similarities with various European countries) a distinction is important because each and every country has their own unique culture. Mislabeling can be rather annoying and depending on the content could even be insulting. It's not unfair for someone without knowledge of these countries to make mistakes but it's when they continue to insist the cultures are the same that it becomes ignorant and usually rude. Being of South East Asian descent I like to think I have a rather knowledgeable (but by no means perfect) understanding of the differences between Asian countries. Nothing annoyed me more when I was younger than when [usually my peers] asked if I "was Chinese or Japanese," as if those are the only two Asian countries in existence! (For the record, I'm Cambodian).

こんばんは＾＾ It is very interesting that the opinion expressed like this can be heard. Since I have not come out from Japan, he is interested in foreign. Language has been an obstacle for me.

Chinese restaurants outside of China aren't even close to the quality of food available there), great scenery, neat history.
