  1. I really like the images that depict the line at cinema and life style. I think there is some truth in them. LMAO

  2. I don’t agree with the images of punctuality and presentation of idea/argument. I trust that punctuality and presentation of idea/argument is largely dependent on the personality of human beings regardless of being Western or Asian.

  3. Well, in all cultures, Western or Asia, there are always a few deviants, and the above pictures, for sure, can’t be representative of the two cultures. They are simply generalizations of what we Asians and Westerners tend to do. I believe there is at least a 60-70% truth in there.

  5. As for me, when the world was not flat yet, the percentage falls between 80%-90%. But it has been changing since Asian countries (Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia) has been influenced by western cultures…
