Japan: The Strange Country by Kenichi (Vimeo)

First seen on vimeo.com created by Kenichi (see http://vimeo.com/kenichi) -- a Japanese describing his country strange. But before people becomes outraged by watching this, take note of what he said at the end part, "Who created this strange country? You did." Simply put, Japan is strange in a perspective of a foreigner. It's just logical to say something is out of the ordinary if it's different from your own culture. But that's somehow like being ethnocentric.

I always say this, Japan really is a strange country but in always a good way. When I say strange, it's unique and full of contrasts. Of course not having been to Japan (yet), I'm saying it based on my various exposures to the Japanese culture -- dominantly through the power of media.

Kenichi purposely created this video from the point of view of a non-Japanese (just an opinion) but strangely enough, some Japanese do agree to what the title says that Japan is strange indeed.
