Well one thing needs to be said: those architects are doing an awesome job with the space and material they have at hand.

Human genius.

No argument there. They are making the most of what they have.

In a place something be consider "terrible", but in another place be accepted the excellent,this is the earth,and the earth is round

No, we probably can't understand but it's good to read about other cultures and at least be aware of what they are and what they believe.

More:

they are be ordered to strictly worship and obey their superior more than the Christian worship GOD,

-----not only the superior,but should show high respect and some obedience to the colleague who join company before you

they always smile to you but never opening their heart to you,even very close friend,hidden the personality and the real thought is the way to survive

-----frankly to say ,this is not only in japan,but also in china ,the person like this will be thinked smart and mature,on the contrary will be considered foolish and childhood

they always working OT till evening,even midnight,if someone rejects working so hard,he will be considered lazy ,

-----if a husband not always OT,his wife will think him a loser and worry about his carrer,so most of the japanese men do not back to home when they finished their job,but to some place to play

they deny the personality,"you should like the others in the group'is their living credo from their childhood

-----actually,in japan,to obey the group and working for the group and dealing anything the same way just like the other group members be considered the way leads to success

their women serve and respect the husband like the maid ,and be teached should happily accept their husband's inamorata,in Japan ,the divorce is very disgraceful,but a man has the wife and inamorata at the same time will be considered success,even his wife

-----the woman think it is honor if their husband has the inamorata who is very educated and graceful(not beautiful),the wife and the inamorata do not live in the same house,but if the wife can not manage the family for some reason the inamorata will take the place in charge of that but she will never be the wife although she living depend on that man throughout her life,the wife ,her kids,the whole society accept this

I am not blaming japan,china of course is not totally the same as japan,but as tough as

If a person think both the Buddhism and the Taoism are all the truth ,and then we can be the Christian and the Muslim at the same time

The trouble with having an open mind is that the truth often falls out of it

I am very familiar with china,India,japan,although I do not like to say,but I must say that the huge difference between east and west is the second reason I believe in GOD, the first one is Israel
