Ok, after a LOT of thinking, careful consideration and scutinizing every single detail of every nanosecond I still don't feel it. Anyway, Kraftwerk would never agree to work with him so it doesn't really matter.
Well, its not like Arjen [the creative mind and guitarist of Ayreon] would beg for Kraftwerk to work with him, usually everybody in the music industry wants to, because he is a musical genius, and a very nice and agreeable person too, based on the account of all the people who interacted with the guy. But yeah, they move in different worlds completely. Its sad tho, that I get the appeal of K [even if I'm really unimpressed with their material], but you seem not to get the appeal of A.Kraftwerk would never agree to work with him
Like for example: what do you think about Ugetsu?he next thing to clarify at some point should be movies.
"U gets u", it means that you get yourself, which is a feat, given the wisdom that one's self is the furthest away from one's own accurate perception as Nietzsche said.Like for example: what do you think about Ugetsu?
You seriously weren't joking about different aesthetic sensibilities."U gets u", it means that you get yourself, which is a feat, given the wisdom that one's self is the furthest away from one's own accurate perception as Nietzsche said.![]()
No rush at all, take your time.Hey everyone! To mark my most recent coming back from the dead after a 5 days absence on f95, (kuei jin don't get sired they just come back to unlife for having unfinished business in the mortal world, so blame it on my account name!) here's a nice Chinese lesbian love story

I knew I said I'd come back with an entry for Rise of the White Flower for the finder, but I haven't gotten around to finishing the latest update yet so that will have to wait for a few more days!
I know some people who lived/live in east Asia and from what I gather from them is that Taiwan seems to be the nicest place to live for a foreigner. I also heard that while with higher crime level and with people who want to scam you for money if you're white when you'll get to know the countries better Thailand or Indonesia could be pretty good too, though definitely better for men than women. I never really got interested in this subject though, as I never wanted to live in any of these countries. I may add though that based on my Internet conversations and comments reading on various websites I found Chinese people often the most anti-foreigners and Indonesians the nicest (though my Internet conversations with people from Indonesia are mostly limited to fans of death metal or grindcore so I don't know if I can say they're typical examples of people in their country).It seems it would be a nightmare living in Japan, the comment section in particular is scary:

I think its the same with South Korea or Hong Kong. China seems the friendliest of the east asian countries lol. I guess I'll stick dreaming about Finnland.
Overall I have no bad opinion of any East Asian country, and I do not seriously thought about moving there, just on a flight of fancy level [was never interested in South Asia, India in particular is creepy to me], but I was a bit sad about how paradoxically isolating modern Japanese culture seems to be for "foreigners". That's all really.

I think it got worse in Japan some yrs ago (interviews with some Japanese directors seem to confirm that too), but I can't tell for sure as I don't live there. I work as a tourist guide though and I guided groups and people from various countries and usually folks from Japan (while still having a rather different approach to visiting than organized groups from other countries) were pretty friendly, quite open to talk about various subjects (especially when they noticed I speak some Japanese [definitely more than I can readOverall I have no bad opinion of any East Asian country, and I do not seriously thought about moving there, just on a flight of fancy level [was never interested in South Asia, India in particular is creepy to me], but I was a bit sad about how paradoxically isolating modern Japanese culture seems to be for "foreigners".

I bet its the dark side of the combination of exaggerated, inhuman rule-following politeness, the rigid hierarchy, and the overworking culture. Something gotta give after awhile. ...Or maybe I say this because I have the worst kind of blood: AB.I think it got worse in Japan some yrs ago (interviews with some Japanese directors seem to confirm that too), but I can't tell for sure as I don't live there.

I also lived for almost 2 yrs with a Japanese guy in one apartment (we befriended at Uni and decided to rent an apartment together while I was starting 4th year of my studies). He also told me that I shouldn't trust Japanese people, that they are very stingy, like to lie a lot and talk about other people behind their backs. He said it was normal for example that when he goes to the elevetor in Japan when someone inside sees him coming promptly pushes the button to close the elevator door so he can't step in.
I can't comment on the Indonesians or Japanese very much, but one of my best friends from the time I did an Erasmus scholarship in Italy was a Filipino girl who was very outgoing, very non-judgemental and friendly with everybody, and if I'm not mistaken, just like Indonesians, Filipinos are a related Austronesian people, (though they received a lot more Spanish and American influence from the time they were colonized by those 2 Imperial powers) so maybe Austronesians in general tend to be friendly?Chinese people often the most anti-foreigners and Indonesians the nicest
To be fair when it comes to legal barriers for immigration and the like, all of the developed East Asian countries are pretty bad from what I gather. For example you are not even allowed to work in either SK or China unless you already have at least a Bachelor's degree as an immigrant, so if you go there for studies your parents/scholarships have to support you fully as you can't legally be employed part-time. (I think Japan might've changed legislation for this some years ago, but it's definitely still the case in China)It seems it would be a nightmare living in Japan, the comment section in particular is scary:

I've met only one Filipino person in my life and she was very nice. I also think in Indonesia you don't stand out that much as a foreigner cause their physical features aren't as unified as with Chinese or Japanese.Filipino girl who was very outgoing
I didn't mean that they all are like that. I had a Chinese students in my group at uni and they were pretty nice, though at the time - as I said - I mostly befriended a Japanese guy and he HATED Chinese, always making fun of them and not only him, they were also 3 other Japanese students at the time (3 girls) and I remember once when were going back from the club we went pass some Chinese folks and they started asking me questions like: "do you know they eat dogs?" and stuff like that. I also met a nice Hongkong guy, who helped me with obtaining some films and turned out he's a Laibach fan (plus Laibach plays in Hongkong from time to time, so there must be some decent people there after all!almost none of them in my experience were racists and if they realize that you are foreigner who respects/knows more about their culture, traditional arts, language or history than they expect from a foreigner, they will often warm up to you and become very friendly.
If you have the Bachelor's degree earned at home does it count?To be fair when it comes to legal barriers for immigration and the like, all of the developed East Asian countries are pretty bad from what I gather.

If you want to entertain the idea of moving to East Asia as a flight of fancy though, the answer is still Japan for 3 simple reasons:
1. Porn is legal there
2. There's more femdom content being made
3. They have Mistress Land vids likeYou must be registered to see the linksorYou must be registered to see the links- case closed!![]()

Looking in from the outside - while I know the historical issues which fuel it - the hate between East Asian countries is one of the saddest political/cultural phenomena ever.I didn't mean that they all are like that.

Indeed, especially in the last 10 or so years they popped up, which is great! I wonder about Korean femdom tho? Or Vietnam? ETC...Even Indian [altho too dark skinned for me] lol?There's some good femdom content in Taiwan and China too btw. And even if percentage wise there's less femdom in China than in Japan 20% of Chinese population is still more than all the Japanese combined (don't quote me though, I'm bad at math) so I'm sure we can find some pretty good amount of femdom there.
I've some Korean femdom, not much though. I'm not big fan of Korean stuff and def prefer Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and lately Indonesia. Edit: I remember I've seen some Thai femdom, but only a little bit.I wonder about Korean femdom tho?
Of course not. Plus there are some guys like Takeshi Kaneshiro, who isn't really Japanese, but took on Japanese name and became quite succesful there. Though he's mostly a big name in Hong Kong/China I feel. There are more examples like that. Plus in a lot of HK, Taiwanese, Chinese movies it's customary to depict Japanese as violent barbarians, murderers and rapists. Maybe not so much nowadays but it was definitely the norm in the 70s. But still foreigners in HK/Chinese films are usually cast as villains (from Ip Man movies and spin-off [with Scott Adkins, Dave Bautista, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, Darren Shahlavi playing bad guys] to widely popular Wolf Warrior fllms [Scott Adkins, Frank Grillo]).Do Japanese and Chinese can instantly tell themselves apart based on how they look? Because at least in SOME instances they don't look that different?
