Oct 12, 2008 - The most important thing is that no race/culture should not proclaim themselves as "better." This is what the white people have done, i.e. in America. They felt that the Africans were inferior to them, so that is why slavery occured. Thinking that one race/culture is better than another THE worst way of thinking. And btw, Chinese New Year = Lunar New Year

Oct 12, 2008 - Good point. That type of thought is known as "ethnocentric." Not good at all.

Oct 12, 2008 - why cant london have such interesting events?
ThailandKyle Says:
Oct 12, 2008 - Ahhh thanks. I was a little confused about all the trouble in China for traveling with the snow storms they were having. It was mentioned so many were traveling for the Chinese Lunar New Year. But that was like a couple of weeks ago. I guess they were traveling well in advance.

Oct 12, 2008 - Chinese, Koreans and Japanese are similar in their culture. Koreans and Japanese, as I said were influenced by them. How do you think Koreans and Japanese learned to write? It was from the Chinese writing system. The Koreans simply call it Hanja while the Japanese called it Kanji. From the Chinese, they soon learned to write using their own system, but still use the Chinese system of writing.
