PS: Wasn't baseball heavily influenced from a sport played in Britain? I know it became what it is today in the USA probably enough to be called an American invention, but if what I know about it's previous iteration is correct, I think it's unfair to say baseball is a purely American sport without at least explaining one's reasoning in parenthesis. I'll give you basketball, but it's not 100% clear itself. | ||

Next time post a valid example of the other side of the argument. Right now this is "someone said something stupid on the internet so I made a post saying he was wrong" | ||

Nevertheless, elements of traditional Chinese culture will always survive in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. Sometimes Chinese culture is preserved more in those countries than in mainland China itself. I know, but it's amusing to realize that not even 50 years ago they were tearing down any link to the past they could get their hands on whilst many consider them so deeply cultural. | ||

TERRIBLE thread. The only thing ive heard a lot is that your history is incredibly boring, for the simple reason that it is so very, very short. No other reason. | ||

However, it is very good at marketing its own culture. For example I'm a Turk living in Istanbul, and I regularly see people prepare a small christmas tree for the new year, especially in wealthy, upper class families. Ofcourse this isn't widespread, as Istanbul is a different case, sort of like America, a patchwork of many cultures (Islam, Ottoman, Greek, Armenia(you'd be surprised how many dishes in Turkish cuisine originate from Armenia) and certainly the Western culture ) You'd be an outcast if you did that in some rural Anatolian town. and this. pretty much sums it all up. | ||
