Yeah, I really like Japanese things. Anime, video games, foods. Even took Japanese for two years in high school.

I'm a total Anglophile.

Yep. I love foreign stuff. Some particulars would be anime, all sorts of foreign foods, music, art, and movies. I definitely want to go somewhere more exotic than Canada someday. It also helps that I feel like an alien most of the time so I adjust to travel pretty well. I also don't really have a sense of patriotism and consider myself a citizen of the world. I'm also pretty good at picking up languages.

While I am a fan of quite a few American things (sports, namely) I love anime, British rock/pop, and many Asian things. :D

I've always had a love of foreign cultures and anything having to do with them. Mostly Iberian, Scandinavian, and Slavic cultures.

Sure, I've had it too, but I think it's very simple to explain. We get our concentrations, our focuses, and something foreign both gives us the whole discovery stimulation and the ability to fully immerse ourselves in it.

But, I've done this also for different groups of people within my country, music scenes, etc.

Anglophile here. After my recent trip to England, particularly London, Oxford, and Canterbury, I'm still in love with it. I must visit the USA sometime in the future, too. The weather was very nice during my two week stay, I may consider myself lucky. I don't pick up foreign languages easily like others but it does not prevent me from being somewhat obsessed with English and its culture.

I don't feel as patriot as many here in this country, perhaps it's down to my origin, I have Slovak and German roots besides Hungarian, and perhaps Romanian (as my family name indicates it).
