busy packing these days...holidays are over...
agreed with you, or from Chinese point of view, Japanese are quite stubborn, lol.
on the other hand we appreciate the Japanese style devotion and focusing on details that come along with the 'stubbornness' which Chinese do have yet sometimes got 'adapted' or 'compromised' as a result.

we are the Murica of Asia! stronk!

P.S. on Feng Shui:

@Nihonjin1051 's xgf is of 潮州 origin, that's the region well-known for doing business. they are probably the most dedicated believers of Fengshui for 'good luck & prosperity' in family business that you won't believe how much they would willingly spend on 'Fengshui correctness'.... somewhat true to all the coastal South Chinese with entrepreneurial spirits...
