I don't know this English-beauty-with-his-face-s­o-close-to-the-camera-I-wanna-­kiss-him, is saying; I love the way traditional Japanese mix their modern buildings/ways with the traditional ones; haven't seen anything like it anywhere and I just LOVE it.

good country of architecture, but buildings in main cities of japan are already higher than the averange of Paris. That's enough.

asians are asians. we live in our houses while the whites were still in the caves. it's the burden of the white men that made asian lives miserable. china 5000 years ago still china today. you white racists want to control our lives yet you suffer now financially while china enjoys the boom!
