I've been drawn lately to New England culture, and I can definitely see myself assimilating quite easily into the culture over there. I recall mentioning numerous times on this website that I'd like to move to New England anyway. Of course, I'll have to adapt to the major climate change because I'm so used to hot-as-hell Texas weather right now. :roll:


I have lived in Connecticut all of my life and I do not know what New England culture is. I would like to know what your perception of New England culture is.

I do not care much about culture so long as nobody bothers me with theirs. I would not mind living in Australia. I understand that in Australia the sun sets in the morning and rises in the evening but the silly people there set their clocks wrong. If I lived in Australia I would set my clock correctly, as we do here in Connecticut, to UTC - 5.

I really don't know many cultures "inside" to choose one, but I like Japanese technology. They love it and I'd love it if I lived there.

I think I would fit in the early punk rock culture, I love the music and originality and uniquenes of people's individual fashions. I also like the carefree libertarian idieologies that were arround within the subculture a big contrast to what it transformed to decades later.

I was born many centuries after my time. Shoulda been a Spartan or a Viking.

Any culture that would declare me it's sole and absolute ruler (without "honoring" me by liberating me from my fleshy prison).

I might would fit in with Iraq. They hate American culture & Americans hate them & Iraq has very conservative traditional values. I hate living in America; I do NOT feel pride because I was born here(I think blind patriotism is a very stupid dangerous thing) & I also have very traditional conservative values. The enemy of my enemy might make a very good friend.
I also might would do well with the Amish. They have traditional conservative values & they are small tight-nit communities. I have a very hard time finding a job here because of my disabilities & cant drive so I'm stuck being dependent on others. I might could handle working in a field the old-fashioned way quite well & it would probably be safe for me to use a horse & buggy.
The main issues I would have with either of these is religion; I'm a Secular Humanist

I've perceived New England culture as being liberal and sophisticated. The region also seems to have a lot of historical significance, of which I am fascinated.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. :roll:

I used to live in Massachusetts. Liberal doesn't begin to describe it.

My mom has always told me that if I ever go to a foreign country, it should be Japan. I've been passionate about Japanese culture since I was a small child, and I've accumulated a lot of knowledge about it. And why wouldn't I want to be part of Japanese culture, what with the technology, the wacky toys and televisions shows, the fashion, the beautiful language, etc... Unfortunately, from what I understand, foreigners are always treated as outcasts in Japanese society, so I wouldn't fit in unless I at least looked like I was Japanese. Which I don't - I'm about as white as white gets.


That's exactly what I'm like! I'm interested in the modern portion, though, such as the highly advanced technology only imagined (by American authors) in science fiction novels, the high-quality, narrative-yet-action packed video games, the awesome anime, including the ones that are so interesting and thought provoking that people over here reject it (I'm sorry if I'm saying that a lot of American culture may be less intelligent, but I what I really mean is that sometimes, it seems that Americans may not really tolerate things with a lot of thinking), the manga, the music (Vocaloids and Kanon Wakeshima fans, unite!), and just the general personality of the country (as in its artistic, introverted way).

I'd also fit in at the time when pre-feminist literature was budding (think Mary Wollstonecraft, George Eliot, born Mary Ann Evans, Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Amelia Pankhurst, and Lucy Maud Montgomery as examples), because I would be liked and accepted by most of the authors and suffaragettes.

My mother also said that I'd fit in a Methodist church or a more egalitarian or liberal churchgroup (then again, most of my family members think I have liberal leanings).

I haven't thought of one yet. I'd've made a so-so Leveller, I suppose.

It depends on what part of Japan you live in. Some Japanese are fascinated by white people. Some Japanese hate white people. Some Japanese are so respectful of white people that if you're the only white person in the room they make a point of not staring at you by looking away from you. But if you live in an area where many other white people have emigrated to, I don't see why they (especially folks your age) would treat you any differently (for the most part) from they would a Japanese person.

Based on your expectations about Japan, though, I think you're going to be very disappointed if you ever do move there.

Yeah, I already knew that deep down inside. That's why I gave up trying to make it a reality a long time ago. There's still a small part of me that aches for it, but ultimately, I know it'd be best for me if I stayed right here in America. Besides, my interest in Japan is less than half as intense as it used to be when I was younger, especially since my special interests don't revolve around anime anymore.


My friend moved to Osaka, he says they love white people there. He gets chatted up by Japanese girls all over the place. I'm going to visit eventually, so when I do, I'll report back! :D
