most of you will probably answer japanese.

do you have a strong interest in or inclination toward some foreign culture? I've always been particularly interested in indian, persian/mesopotamian, east african histories and philosophy.

when i was in middle school i had a strong fascination with egyptian culture (i wasted so much money on books on the topic)
then it flowered into mesoamerican culture up until late high school

and it died and i became interested in other things
but their influences watercolored my perspectives in the things i do now

I wish I did. Shit's cool, I just don't follow it much.

Greece. As generic as that is.


yeah, interest in Greece's history seems to be about the most common one, but I can't really blame people because the mythology and such really is fascinating

I'm also very interested in Japan's history (of course), as well as China's, India's, and Mesopotamia's.

I like reading stuff about the Middle East, but I haven't read much.
