I always was a fan of Japanese Culture, and with the recent JAPANORAMA SERIES (think ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM) has reconfirmed this even more to me. However, after reading the above article, what strikes me particularly - much more than LACK OF FDI - is that few Japanese are good at learning new languages, and this dismal record accentuates the lack of changes in the culture of Japan. From Geishas to Lost in Translation, Japan will continue to captivate my interest, no matter what.
