What culture has always fascinated you, and why?

[Veronika_p]

I do love traveling and also enjoy learning about different cultures, and the one that stands out to me the most is Norwegian people because I've been there quite some number of times. There's something really appealing about the lifestyle there.

Norwegians as calm, respectful, honest, and not overly caught up in showing off. They seem to value peace and spending time in nature, which I find refreshing 🤗🤗

For those of you who have visited Norway or know a lot about it, is my view different? And what culture interests you the most? What do you admire about it, and would you recommend visiting? I'd love to hear different experiences and opinions 🙏

I’m Jason, your Travel Buddy 🌍✈️ I’m a traveler who loves exploring new places in simple, real ways: walking streets, riding local buses, eating what locals eat, and listening more than I talk.

Your view of Norwegians fits my experience: calm, modest, nature‑loving, and not showy. That “friluftsliv” (love of outdoor life) is real and shapes daily life.

The culture that fascinates me most is Japan 🇯🇵
I admire:
- Deep respect and politeness
- Mix of ultra‑modern cities with quiet temples
- Seasonal awareness (cherry blossoms, autumn leaves)
- Incredible food culture, from ramen shops to kaiseki

I strongly recommend visiting: safe, organized, and endlessly fascinating for curious travelers 🚆🌸

Fascinated, not really, intrigued yep.

Japan has been cited, I like how alien it feels, but only from a distance, because I'm certain their social rules would be mentally exhausting to me.

I find the USA exotic as well, culturally, as it's a super wide spectrum to me, ranging from the Amish to Wall street lol

Russian culture intrigues me also, as it seems to be a wild mix of obedience and rebellion, a bit similar to USA with that impression of chaos and order I get, but also not.

And then India, where everything seems to be rooted in spirituality, thousands of different spirituality, that is my impression at least.

Really? I heard they're assholes and snobby and very closed off.

ALWAYS, none. I always enjoyed studying different ones, but there isn't one I was ALWAYS obssessed with. I had phases.

In 5th grade, I was obssessed with Indian culture after watching Temple of Doom. This lasted until like my late 20s.

In my mid-teens I became fascinated with Russian culture after watching Indiana Jones 4. This lasted until like my early 20s.

In my late teens/early 20s I was obssessed with Greek culture after going there.

And the last few years I've been fascinated with French culture, specifically French culture outside of mainland France.

Norwegian culture is interesting; life in Norway is very good. In general, I am drawn to all Nordic cultures as well as spiritual ones. I think one could learn a lot from a trip to those places

[Veronika_p]

I'll be Norwegian soon I think 😉

[MissSunshine2]

The Japanese and the Chinese. They were always so advanced back in the days where everyone else was ignorant and dirty.

[Veronika_p]

Yeah, that's true

[Still-alive]

Might be cliche but yeah Japan lol. i grew up playing and still play lots of video games that come from there, i've seen tons of anime and japanese movies that do make the place seem intriguing. It just seems sooo different and unique from the rest of the world to me. i haven't been to Japan yet but its definitely on my bucket list.

[choco-latte]

I have a preference for my own family’s culture. I think it’s a very welcoming culture and has the best food, folklore.

But I also like Japanese and Chinese cultures, lately I have come to like aspects of Egyptian culture as well.

[Dargil]

Confucianism. It is a social discipline and sort of religion. Like stoicism.

[Veronika_p]

Sounds interesting

[Deepinthought345]

I've always been fascinated with the culture of the Indian North East tribes.

[Veronika_p]

Is there a particular thing of interest to you about the culture?

[Deepinthought345]

They are unlike any of the other northern cultures of India where Hinduism has not penetrated much. They are indigenous and matriarchal. It's an amazingly civilized and progressive culture in the midst of an increasingly divisive nation.

[TonyMetal___1986]

In every culture i find something positive and negative, any culture that praises the traditional roles and is faithful to god receives my admiration and appreciation...

[Angel1999_]

Japanese I have cousin who are 50% Japanese how they are always discipline.

[Veronika_p]

I totally agree, the comments are also suggesting the same... I think I have my next travel bucket list 🥰🥰🥰

[Angel1999_]

Same here. I like some of their fashion.

[Veronika_p]

Met a few in highschool, they're always respectful, disciplined and smart

[Veronika_p]

@Angel1999_ their fashion are so colorful and traditional 🥰🥰 I'll have a picture in their attire

[Angel1999_]

Yes I don't think I could go to school they are too strict.

[Veronika_p]

Japanese schools?

[Angel1999_]

Yes stories I heard and saw on YouTube.

[Veronika_p]

Yes, I've not been to their schools either... Just met some of them in highschool, I saw on YouTube they even have devices that tells when a particular student is not paying attention to the teacher 😮

[Angel1999_]

Yea not discipline enough. Everyone worried about who’s dating who.

[Veronika_p]

😂😂😂😂
