Asian vs Western Culture

They say that pictures are worth 1000 words. But these, sent by a friend, are worth 10,000!

Understanding of Asian vs. Western Cultures - Although based on research of Chinese Asians, it also applies somewhat to other East Asians (Japanese, Koreans, Mongolians), Southeast Asians (Indonesians, Malays, Filipinos, Thais, Burmese, Vietnamese), and South Asians (Pakistanis, Indians, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Sri Lankans). These icons were designed by Liu Young who was born in China and educated in Germany.
Blue side is Western, the red side is Asian.
