Insights of Cultural Plunge

SUSHI EVERYONE haha i love Japanese cuisine but i have trouble eating with chopsticks. Why because i rarely go to Sushi restaurant when going out to eat but when i do go i just have trouble holding the chopsticks in a certain way. I heard from a friend who went with me to a Sushi restaurant couple days ago she said its disrespectful for poking your food with the chopsticks and she had to re-teach me how to correctly use a chopstick and it took awhile to re-learn it. Well i love to cook in my spare time to ease the everyday stress of life i do other things to relieve stress like for example exercising in gym or training in mma training room etc. But when she told me it was disrespectful to poke the food with chopsticks in Japanese style culture place. I thought of my culture if somebody was doing the wrong thing and disrespecting my culture in a purpose manner. For example in my culture we like to eat with our hands when eating foods we first wash our hands throughly and then we eat whatever food is ok to eat with your hands for example pasta with meatballs or dirty rice with steak or fish we can obviously eat soups or sorbets with our hands we can eat with spoons and forks utensils. When i was at the restaurant i did try to eat with chopsticks and somewhat succeeds it wasn't for my well being i was trying to re-learn and respect the culture of Japanese way of life. It made me more aware of other diverse cultures other my culture that i follow everyday.

True Thoughts

You readers are wondering why is True Identity posting up the awesome anime pic. Well i love reading manga i also love to watch anime shows and i love the Japanese cultured cartoons because they tell stories of our "reality" and most of there stories are way better than American told tales. I mean anime stories tell the reader or viewer a "real life story" and yes you will cry and yes you will get angering because all these stories of Japanese genre express "real emotion' or using all the human emotions in one of their stories. I got into hardcore anime shows when i was 11th grade year of high school and anime shows made me a "read and write" kind of learning style. But i lean to kinesthetic learning type meaning i love to learn while doing something so i have the chance to fail and then approve of that new unique teaching for example i didn't know how to cook but when my mom forced me to help her cook for the family i learned that i have a unique skill of cooking food for others and i love to learn other cooking styles from other cultures it gives me a better meaning and respect for that culture. So my main point is to try out other culture styles for example me i like most of Japanese culture and i love learning other cooking styles and also i love learning different mixed martial arts moves from different countries.Yea i love to fight in my spare time its like a release for my anger and calms my mind, body, and soul and i also like to pray. Well back to the point your culture defines your "true self' but connecting your culture to other diverse cultures makes you a better person who has a "true meaning" of life.
