One thing I found hilarious about Japanese people is that they were quite well aware of the amount of sexuality in their culture, from love hotels to adult manga lining the bookshelves of stores easily accessed from the street. Some of the funnier ones had no qualms asking and making fun of the perception that some foreigners had of Japanese people being "perverts"; I wonder if this is just related to some willingness to come to terms with their huge pornography industry.

I am not sure if Korea is really conservative anymore after watching 16-18 years dancing half naked on tv. Though Korea does have large population of overzealous Christians so I guess it evens out somewhat.
Aslo that applies to the American. The media is mostly focused on sex and violence, which people love to watch. But in society everyone is against it. Then again dichotomy existed in the US for a long time.

Damn I am impressed, must have been very tough. I mean moving from Korea to US was very tough from me, but compare to you my experience seems like nothing. Any discrimination from Korean or Japanese side? I would imagine in pre-school in Korea would warrant some insult from the kids.
