I've got to agree with Likeagromit and say that a lot of the developing world is grabbing at American culture with both arms.

I've done a lot of travelling and a lot of teenagers in South East Asia will do anything to look like a rapper/skater and think it's the height of coolness to be all miserable and moody!

But to answer the original question of course people in Japan wear boardies!!! I had a Japanese mate who told me that in Japan it's all about the Brand name and that last years boardies would be consigned to the bin.

No self repsecting surfer in Japan would be seen dead in last years fashion in the water..............

Sweet. We should seriously get a paper published. While there are publications abound concerning this subject, we could totally do some serious damage by taking it to a beyond a socioeconomic and political perspective to psychosocial and anthropological.

Haha. Tempting my man, tempting. Unfortunately I curently seem to have something of a time committment to my dissertation. A mere 16 000 words on network formation amongst British migrants in New Zealand. Doesn't that title just turn you on? :D

Hey, sounds pretty interesting. I wrote a term paper on immigration issues and policy surrounding Mexican migrant workers to California. Kinda similar.

Are you going for ph.d?

As much as I'd love to jump on the acedemia train I've already promised my soul to the air force as a fighter pilot. At 23 you're too old to pass training so unfortunately a phd would disqualify me from my dream job. Maybe after I've finished the whole military thing I'll have another go at being a dirty tax dodging student type :)
