I just recently discovered "The Japan Times." It's really a breath of fresh air, when compared to journalism in most Western countries. There aren't the same tired old patterns of thinking that you find in the West.
It's odd that it's taken me this long to discover the good things about the Far East. My family has a lot of ties with China and Japan... I always heard about how exotic these countries were, and I learned specifically about customs - but my family somehow never put it into perspective for me the ways in which these Asian countries are better the West. There's a profound maturity and inner beauty which you see in those countries, and this article is one which talks about a couple of these comparisons.
