LOL captian bro that was really funny "I don't think it really matter if it is a short term relationship." couldn't agree more with you though. the cultural difference is huge!! if your partner doesn't take much interest in your culture you feel unappreciated (something along that line...couldn't come up with the exact word) or on the other hand if your partner takes too much interest in your culture, you get annoyed trying to explain every darn thing....know what i'm sayin LOL
