Hi everyone! As you know I write about Manga but I missed my entry this week(damn exams!). To make up for it, here by I present you, Asia vs. West!
These are amazing works of Liu Young; a Chinese painter who has lived and studied in Germany. The contrast in his work is simply astonishing and arguably very true!! I had lots of fun looking at them, hope you enjoy it too!

Seems pretty accurate to me, yeah.
I don’t really understand the restaurant one though, care to enlighten me on that one?
Chinese restaurants are very loud.
It’s the noise level! I’m sure you’ve been to Chinese restaurants. You need some sort of speakers to out-voice(!) the people!
I like the “Punctuality” one; that’s so me Y____Y
LOL that was awesome and quite true.
Couldn’t agree more! Especially the network/contacts and the queue.

Lol this guy got everything spot on xD
The party one reminds me of dangos.
Wow, that was really cool! A lot of them seemed to really make sense too
Thanks for sharing!
How interesting! I’ll show this to my friends, hahaha.
this seems really accurate. considering that i’m an asian, this is amazing. thanks for sharing.
hahahaha… i really enjoyed saying and comparing those images… you got some psychological representation of every image…
I’m not sure I get the “three meals a day” one. Do the snowflakes represent cold meals? If so, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it in action, at least in the US.
In Germany you have usually just one hot meal every day and the others are often made out of bread or cereals or fast food.
I liked this series of art…not quite sure if I agree with his travel one. I see tons of Western tourists taking photos whenever they go to new places so I think that both groups are out there with their cameras. It just depends on what they decide to take pictures at.
im totally clueless… absolute jugheaded… XD~~~~
some of it makes sense esp the resturant one and the transport… but only to an extent >0
Awesome! Simple and language independent, yet easily communicating the differences between the hot & cold cultures. Great stuff.
whoa.
simple yet ironically accurate.
Oh je,
Da muss ich leider sagen das ALLES zutrifft…
Ich war bereits 2x in China, und Lebe in Deutschland. Selten wurden die sachen auf eine solch interessante und geniale art und weise zusammengefasst.
Aber wir Deutschen haben auch unsere 1-2 guten Seiten
So far

Soo True
Such an accurate and perceptive description of the differences between the two cultures . . . i like the travelling where you have to embedded all that you see n a camera . . . so Asian . . . and of course, the elderly tending to their grandchildrens, i’ve grown up with my pampering grannies
