Being more numerous or being better eguipt does not win wars,what counts is the soldiers determination to fight,Japan has a history going back centuries of fighting against greater odds,South Korea on the other hand lacks the disipline to hold the line when pressed,Japan against South Korea would be like witnessing Alexander the great and an outnumber Macedonian army attacking Darius and the Persian army and make them turn and flee for their lives,Response to your vast knowledge of South Korea,I gather by your statements you are south korean yourself,if you are self promoting your country of origen there is nothing wrong with that,but to diminish another country's capabilities to elevate yours is where the wrong is being done,I'm neither south korean nor japanese so I have no personal interest in the matter,all I see is South Korea having a larger army than North Korea with better military armament provided by the US and still need American Soldiers to protect it from North Korea.Why do you put a question for debate and then throw a tantrum because people don't agree with you,if you're trying to show your national machismo and expect people to agree with you,make it known to start with so people won't waste their time with your adolecent questions,by the way,don't even bother answering,this is the last time I'll be reading this list

The Japanese leave a bad taste in the mouths of most Koreans. The Jap soldiers often would go to the schools and drag out beautiful female students and rape them over and over. My grandmother said my aunt was raped while the Japanese men laughed. \nIf the village chief did not invite Jap officers to functions, he or somebody in his family would be murdered. At the functions, the Jap soldiers would take most of the food and the most beautiful girls to rape. Many times they rounded up the beautiful girls and take them to whatever campaign that needed comfort women. There were Koreans, Chinese, and even a few European type women taken in this manner. \nTo date, there has never been any retribution, only empty promises. Asian men did not marry the former comfort women; they had been violated.

China and Japan do this on a regular basis.  Sadly there isn't any software that I know of that can get around this!  It's blocked at a local level, most often by those in power.

I suggest taking a picture of the jar and posting that here. Asian languages, though they might not seem like it, are easy to identify from one another. If no one is able to translate it themselves, at least with knowing what language it is you can contact someone else online (probably at a specific website for that language) and ask.

there is no similarity between korean and japanese, other than the fact that the grammar is very similar.  vocabulary-wise, many words in both languages are based off of chinese characters.  however, japanese uses chinese characters (kanji) and pronounce them by pure japanese words, and koreans simply have pure korean and sino-korean vocabulary mixed together... in essence, almost two words for everything.\ni've studied both korean and japanese, and personally, i found korean to be much more enjoyable.  then again, i'm sure this is only personal preference.\ni studied korean intensively in korea, and it takes a while to attain even a basic level of fluency, due to the fact that the grammar is almost completely backwards from english.  however, in korea, most korean people are very helpful and willing to work with you.  when i went to japan, i noticed that most japanese people either ignore you completely if you talk to them, or rattle off as fast as they can even though they know you won't understand it.\nif you're choosing whether to study in either country, i'd certainly recommend korean.

Japanese are closely related to Koreans (though they don't admit that) Koreans are a kin to the Chinese, The Chinese have links to India, Russia, and the middle east.\n\nWorking outward:  Japanese have populated Okinawa, Okinawa has plenty of links to the southeast island such as the Philippines.  The Filipinos are culturally and genetically related to the Spainards and Americans.  \n\nFrom the view point of eastern time Japan is 13 hours ahead.  So if it's 11:30 pm eastern time here, then it's 12:30 in the afternoon of the next day in Japan!

Most likely, her parents are very into their culture. I had a Korean friend who's family was the same way. They are trying to teach their children the things that they learned as they were growing up, and want their household and rules to be the same as well. I wouldn't take it personally, although it is frustrating. \n\nIf you ever visit her at her home, I would suggest trying to learn something from her parents about their culture. You'd be surprised what you can learn, and you'll find that they are probably very nice people ... just from the 'old country'! :)

that is an ignorant statement. not all japanese people share the same traits.

Japanese hate the Koreans because they were really former rivals, politically and economically. Read the history of the 2nd World War. Now they still have territorial disputes. In addition, if North and South Korea get united under North Korea, the latter will really be a threat to Japan.\n\nThey accept America because though America had caused considerable damage to Japan during the wnd World War, the former contributed and continues to the the economic status and security of Japan in the form of the so-called Nuclear Umbrella.

that the philippinos have a raw deal.  seems to me you guys have been manipulated by the elites who took turns to mess up a beautiful country.  the government is like a musical chair game.  it's a pity. there was a time when The Phillipines was the most advanced country in South East Asia.

Well Japan in itself is done with war.  It is in their law of war now. They will never be the offensive in a war, only support and defend.  As far as the WW3 thing, we are on the verge of it.  North Korea and China only leave Japan alone because we have bases there, if we left....  And as it is you know China, Russia, and N. Korea would join.  And then we would be back to the original Allies for us.  Except this time it would have Japan with us.  They can be ruthless, as we know.  And in the long run, the next WW, will be earthly disasterous!!  Nuculear weapons, and the number of ground troups required for that kind of war again would be insane!  The outcome would be the end of seperated countries, someone will battle for dominance. But end the world as we know it.

well, koreans have receved brutal treatment from the japanese during the "occupation" and i don't think they are that ready to forgive.  you could research more unto the korean resistance and what the japanese have done.  also, both nations are very competetive in technology while taiwan is focused on investments and all that.

Yeah Japan and S. Korea are it. Other than that, the other countries are 2nd class.

No. Toei retracted the English language distribution rights for the anime and manga. They won't sell the rights for the last season and they won't distribute the rights for the live-action series that came out a few years ago. I think there is a desire to sell what's left. Deluxe editions of the manga came out around the same time of the live-action series, which is when the distribution license expired for Tokyo Pop and ADV. They could make a killing wth the deluxe manga and the live-action series, but Toei doesn't want to sell it to them. One of the popular rumours going around is that Naoko Takeuchi is in a legal battle with Toei over the rights. Otherwise, this is just what I've heard. I don't know how much of it is true, but it's what's standing out.
