Haha... somehow sort of feel this is such a funny thread.^^
I've always had some views about girls from other countries, but my SG female friends complain that I'm biased. ;p
It sound like Benign is like going on an international search for the girl of his dreams.
Anyway, got to know quite a few girls from the countries that I've visited. So here's what I feel. Personally, I think Korean girls are pretty (Not to say girls from other countries are less so). They also tend to be very mature, independent and usually have their views about things. And from what I heard, after they marry, they are very good housewives too. I guess it's a feature of their strict Confucian upbringing. But that doesn't necessary mean that they are conservative. In many ways, they are definitely more liberal that SG girls.
Next, about Japanese girls. I think the greatest misconception about Japanese girls is that they all like to act cute. I must point out, they really aren't trying to 'ACT' cute. When you are bombarded with cute and smoochy pinchy images and icons from the day you were born, cuteness is going to be ingrained naturally into your every gesture and conversation. On the other hand, take away the cuteness, I think many Japanese girls are really quite sophisticated. And they are really attentive and sympathetic to everything. I have a distant uncle who has a Japanese wife. Because they decided to live in Singapore, my auntie actually took up classes and tried very hard to pick up Mandarin and Chinese cooking.
After spending my industrial attachment in Taiwan last year, my impression about Taiwanese girls are that they are really spontaneous. They are always interested to new things around them and easily excitable. They are also extremely friendly, and happy to meet new people (That is, if you don't come across to them as a pervert or maniac). However from my male friends over there, their main complaint is that Taiwanese girls can be a bit sticky and possessive. So not everything is perfect. ^^"
But seriously, I think the main thing when considering girls from other countries is the cultural and language differences. Even when coming from a similar Asian country, the differences in thinking, logic and even behaviour can be quite obvious. If Benign is really considering a gf from a different country, it's something to seriously consider.
