Yes.. People look at price when they buy cars..Most people don’t care where the car is made..
Look at Walmart. Almost everything in their store is made in China yet people shop there because they have the lowest prices.

oh and whats your favorite Japanese finger food that’s easy to serve like sushi, but not because i cannot make sushi
Your miserable and ridiculous trolling efforts aside,
the inherently wrong and vehemently misleading postulate of your question render us no chance for giving you a proper reply
but only leave us with the sole option to think that you’re posing this meaningless question just to spread a baseless hatred
If France were Arab, would there have been no Crusades, Spanish Reconquista or Inquisition, no Italian Renaissance, no anti-Semitism, no Louis XIV, no American, French, or Russian Revolution, no Hitler, Stalin, Napoleon, Karl Marx, Spanish, French, British, Portuguese, German, Russian, or Japanese Empire? Would there have been the United States or Texas?
Possibly it would have created a very liberal form of Islam. The great civilizations in Spain and India give merit to the theory that whenever political Islam got away from the fanatical vision of Arabia it blossomed. But honestly….The Moors that invaded France had so little interest in the country that they would have never conquered it. The battle of Tours was with half-hearted anyway.
I’d like to call my girlfriend and I’m unsure as to the etiquette surrounding early-morning calls (At least early morning for me!)
Why would you call anyone before 8?
I’m going over to a friends house and there are going to be six people in total. I was asked to make Japanese food for dinner. I don’t have a recipes and don’t really know any Japanese dishes.I have heard of "Oyakodon", which I believe is chicken and eggs and "Gyudon", which I believe to be rice and beef. I don’t know how to make either of those but they do sound good. I was wondering if anyone would be so kind and help me out.

where im currently at no place offers japanese language class, and i strongly want to learn it.
can anyone tell me the best way to learn this language.
i know very little 
The best is to get a great book and learn it on your own time.Get some of the basics then find a Friend that is or speaks Japanese then work on it to gather here is a good course to learn by http://www.rocketlanguages.com/japanese/premium/index.php?hop=wacasassa
And if so, how do I go about getting one?
?First of all, do you have/carry two passports, one for the United States and one for Japan? If so, you have dual citizenship (being a citizen of two nations), or dual nationality. Since you’re an American citizen, you may travel freely to Japan for up to 90 days without a visa since the USA is one of the countries that have visa exemption arrangements with Japan.

My nieces and nephews all have dual citizenship and they travel back and forth freely from the US to Japan without any special visas.
?By Japanese laws, adult persons generally cannot hold both foreign citizenship and Japanese citizenship (dual nationality):
?those who have acquired dual nationality before age 20 must choose a single nationality before reaching age 22.
?those who have acquired dual nationality after age 20 must choose a single nationality in 2 years.
Hope this helps!?
I need to create a presentation about Japanese eating habits. Some helpful points that I could include in would be what they say before and after dinner, what kind of topics you talk about at dinner. And how important is eating and meals to business? Do you have some business lunches or dinners? Thanks so much if you can answer these questions.
In Japan, before eating they say "itadakimasu" which generally translates to "i recieve."
When finishing a meal they say "gochisousamadeshita" which translates to "it was a feast".
Never eat while walking although this is slowly changing in Japanese culture.
Don’t play with chopsticks, point at people or wave them around while talking.
Never pass food directly to another person’s chopsticks.
I don’t know if this is what you are after but hopefully it helps ^_^ Good luck!
