i'm a female who has always been interested in various world cultures... i've researched a lot of places- ireland, turkey, greece, egypt, russia. i've also been very interested in asia- japan/ korea/ china/ taiwan/ india/ thailand/ etc. i think it started as a food thing ;).
my interest has definitely leaned towards japan over the years i've listened to a lot of japanese music (actually i listen to a lot of international music), watched a bit of anime, watched asian (not just japanese) movies & tv dramas. i was actually supposed to go to japan for a summer art course, and backed out because i felt guilty going without my husband.
so does that make me a despicable weeaboo? i'm not sure what's wrong with exploring other cultures...?
