Writer's Block: Another country

Sure I do! From around the world, and that's something that makes me really happy. I've yet to meet somebody from LJ in real life (though I've met people in real life who currently have an LJ). Do I want to meet them? Of course, but I'm in a difficult situation to do that. I guess if I manage to keep in touch with them for many many years, then yes, it could be possible...
Actually, sometimes I think I care more about my LJ friends, than my RL acquaintances xD
I've never understood why people who speak *insert language other than English here* prefer to remain inside the boundaries of their own language even though they may actually understand English. They could argue it's a matter of cultural closeness, that they feel more comfortable around something that's similar to what they already know. As for me, I find excitement in the fact of trying to get in touch and to understand cultures different than my own one. And despite these superficial differences, I realize we're still similar as human beings! Similar experiences, reactions, even ways to think. More often than not, I end feeling more empathy towards people of other cultures rather than those of my own one. Yeah, I know I'm weird =P
Anybody who knows both D.Gray-Man and Fullmetal Alchemist? You might find this comic slightly amusing 8D
