Hi,
one of the things I am very interested in is how the world we are living in is constantly changing due to globalization, more specifically, how the different cultures are intermingling and mixing.
Something “Western" is of course most likely being associated and represented in dramas/movies in English, as it is the Lingua Franca, and America has a huge influence in Asia (e.g. Japan and South Korea). That’s why it’s so much more interesting for me to spot references to other countries and cultures, here in this thread Germany.
I just stumbled upon the "japanized" foreign word "Daneihon" derived from the German word "die Ernährung" in episode 49 of the asadora Manpuku . It was a pretty interesting scene from minute 2 onwards, as it explained the stages of assimilation to the Japanese language!
I'm looking forward to your sightings!
