Quickie

October 28, 2009

I was browsing through my dad’s ‘China’ National Geographic magazine yesterday and I read about something cool.

Western and Eastern people express their emotions differently. Even if we have the 6 common expressions in the world – happiness, sadness, anger, fear, shock and disgust, the eastern people uses their eyes rather than their mouth in terms of expressing how they feel. You can see a lot of these in Chinese soap Operas and Bruce Lee shows. Also in manga.

For the same reason, that’s why western emoticons are like :) , :( , :p, XD, :o ;

where else, Asians, mainly Japanese, express their emotions like : ^_^;  ,  ToT , #^.^# , n_n , O_O , ~_^ , u_u , ?_? , >.< , ^o^ , *_*

So how do I feel at the moment?
