I've also had some personal experience with cultural/social differences by living in South Asia for 6 years of my life and i KNOW that the videos on here discussing about culture/society/human nature is very true. I lived with my uncle who was a geologist and disciplinarian during my stay in SE Asia and he was a very respected member of our community. He owned 2 restaurants and had several people that worked for him. People that i saw and knew very well that lived in bamboo houses and much worse conditions than in the city i currently reside. I just wanted to point that out before anyone thinks that my research and opinions and the reason I'm like this is solely because of online research.
A family member of mine also worked for a branch of the government The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)http://www.noaa.gov/. I asked him what he did while working for NOAA and he said that he was working as "Chief Engineer" on one of their "Oceanographic Survey ships". Basically it scanned and surveyed the ocean floors and collected marine life. He said that "Survey ship" was the public or official name BUT it was also a spy ship for scanning the underwater ravines and routes of Japanese Submarines. Now i don't know why he would say that or if that's true and i also hesitated on posting this as i'm assuming its classified but i did it anyways. I have photos of a NOAA T-shirt that he gave me a few years back. This is just to prove that I'm not full of shit. Note that if u go to their website that is actually the official NOAA logo and ship.
