Japan is hilarious because they those 'traditional buildings' aren't even boomer aged, they're millenial aged. Even their language was forced to change by the military occupation. Accented English is now an official part of their language.Certain group of people never changes no matter where they reside, this is shockingly consistent with how North Korea pretends it did most of the fighting during the Korean war and many in South Korea (probably the North as well) pretends how they won the Imjin War all by themselves. And how they are clearly the rightful inheritor of ancient east asian culture while China has lost it all. This sort of delusion is directly fed by the near complete inability to read any historical record written by their own ancestor, even cursory reading into their own historical record would see their own ancestor clowning on their modern-day delusions.
Abit off topic but perhaps the most shambolic thing is how Japan gets to parade its "traditional buildings and landmarks" around and wow people with its "TraditionalNess" despite most of them being the age of an average boomer because the original was destroyed by US air raids.
幸运 = 幸運な (kouna)? No, ラッキー (rakki) (lucky)
机会 = 机会(kikai)? No, it's "chansu" (chance)
面试 = 面接 (mensetsu)? No, it's "intabyo" (interview)
Imagine if people in China talked like "明天还有论文代得栏(deadline),来不及客立思码思(Christmas)夏拼(shopping)。" That would actually mean China lost its culture. Luckily Chinese has a near 99% native or near-native vocabulary.
