Today's session was interesting. I do not have any previous knowledge about Japan other than the legend of Qin ShiHuang from China sent some people over for his attempt to find the wonder drug that will allow him to live for ever. I appreciate the opportunity to learn about the history of Japan along with the insightful visuals. Being a Chinese-American and having born and raised in Korea before coming to the States, I have a unique opportunity to compare the cultures in my own unique way. Although I never lived in China or Taiwan, my knowledge about China is only through reading, perhaps even in fragments. Due to the animosity of Japan-China and Korea-Japan relationship, I don't think I ever exposed to Japanese history at all. After this session, I am very curious about Japan's history and culture, and I think I will pursue more in learning about Japan.
