The Mainland vs The Island
"Lovers of China are thinkers; lovers of Japan, sensuous. People drawn to China are restless, adventutous types, with critical minds. They have to be, because Chinese society is capricious, changing from one instant to the next, and Chinese conversation is fast moving and pointed. You can hardly relax for an instant: no matter how fascinating it is, China will never allow you to sit back and think, 'All is perfect'. Japan, on the other hand, with its social patterns designed to cocoon everyone and everything from harsh reality, is a much more comftable country to live in. Well-established rhythms and politenesses shield you from most unpleasantness. Japan can be a kind of 'lotus land', where one floats blissfully away on the placis surface of things."
Quote by: Alex Kerr (Lost Japan, 1996)
