      Especially during and just following the bubble economy in Japan, a lot of people would go to France and get completely shocked. They largely went to Paris and we’re shocked that it was not romance, fantasy, and love, but regular Parisians. There is a word in japanese パリ病 (Paris sickness) to describe the disillusionment of it all.

      For some reason, pretty much nobody knows that except the French, lol. I only know it because of Polandball.

        As someone who’s lived in Japan roughly a decade, Finland would either be Santa or aurora based on everyone I’ve talked to. There are plenty of stereotypes (some of which are accurate in my mind), but this map seems a bit weird

      As a person who is Swiss and has lived a while in Japan, everyone says “Heidi”. I think Heidi/the alps is the biggest stereotype of Switzerland to japanese people, not banking.

      It’s just a way of deflecting the subject of Unit 271 731.

      Edit: They really should have named that something easier to remember, like “Crimes against humanity unit” or something.

          Suffice to say that they scared the nazi officials that visited the facility with just how grotesque and cruel their treatment of Chinese civilians was.

    As a person living in one of the displayed countries I can confirm the accuracy regarding said country in this map which may or may not be fake.
