Okay, to start out with, I'm going to give you the basics of Asian cultures. In Asia, they speak completely different languages, one being just barely related to the next. As a matter of fact, the Chinese have many dialects, one of which is the basic Mandarin, which is most commonly referred to as 'Chinese'. When I use a Chinese word, it's probably in Mandarin. Also, most things here will be about China, since it's the biggest country in Asia.
