Introduction
You’ve probably heard the phrase “Asian culture” before, and you might have even used it yourself. But do you know what it means? Is it simply about rice paddies and bamboo-lined rivers? Or is there more to Asia than just that?
This blog will explore some of the most common stereotypes about Asian culture as well as provide some concrete examples of what they are based on (or not). You’ll learn why “Asian culture” isn’t a thing at all—and how you can expand your own horizons by learning more about this fascinating part of the world!
We’re used to thinking of the world’s most populous continent as one big pile of rice-paddy-filled rice paddies and bamboo-lined rivers.
We’re used to thinking of the world’s most populous continent as one big pile of rice-paddy-filled rice paddies and bamboo-lined rivers. But Asia is so much more than that. It’s home to some of the oldest civilizations in human history, as well as some of the most densely populated cities on Earth today (Tokyo!). And even though it includes China, Japan, Korea and India–which are all well known for their unique cultures–there are also many other countries in Asia that you may not have heard about before: Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia come to mind immediately.
So what should we expect when we visit these places? What should we do there? The answers might surprise you…
But that’s hardly all there is to it.
But that’s hardly all there is to it.
China is not the only thing to consider when traveling in Asia. You can find so much more than just chopsticks and kung fu on your next trip! From delicious food, incredible architecture and languages that are both beautiful and difficult to pronounce–there are many reasons why anyone should visit this part of the world.
There’s a whole world of culture, language, and food just waiting to be discovered.
As you explore Asia, you’ll find that there is a whole world of culture, language and food just waiting to be discovered. Each country has its own unique flavor and style.
For example: Chinese food varies greatly from region to region in China. In Hong Kong, dim sum is popular whereas in Shanghai people prefer noodles over rice dishes; Korean BBQ has become popular around the world but was originally developed by farmers who wanted something quick and easy after working all day outdoors tending their cattle farms; Japanese sushi chefs train for years before they can prepare fresh fish properly (and even then it might not turn out perfectly); Vietnamese pho soup has become so popular worldwide that some restaurants serve only this dish at lunchtime! And don’t forget about Thai curries – they’re spicy but delicious! There are also many different types of architecture throughout Asia including pagodas with tiled roofs similar to those found at temples throughout Southeast Asia; Buddhist shrines built atop mountain tops with manicured gardens surrounding them where monks practice meditation each day while gazing out across vast expanses of land below…
Chinese culture isn’t the only thing you have to consider when traveling in Asia.
Traveling in Asia is not just about Chinese culture. You’re going to be surrounded by a variety of different people from all over the world, each with their own unique customs and traditions.
You’ll also need to keep in mind that there are many different languages spoken throughout Asia: Mandarin (China), Cantonese (China), Japanese, Korean and Thai are some examples of common languages you might encounter while traveling in the region.
