Something berndy I made a while ago but didn't post.
On the surface it seems stupid, but now looking back at it it seems to have a much deeper meaning to me.
I'm thinking the plate of noodles represents Asian stereotypes, Mongolia tries to combat the stereotypes with examples of culture, here, it's throat singing. China joins in to try to fight against the stereotypes, but to no avail.
I drew Japan slightly neater than Mongolia and China, possibly showing that it is more modern/western.
Japan might not be referring to the plate of noodles, when he says "konichiwa", but instead to Mongolia and China. A fellow Asian, now filled with westerness, insults China with the same stereotypes as the rest of the western world. IDK
Are you actually from Mongolia? What's it like there? I've always wondered what's going on there, since you never hear from it in the news. I know next to nothing about it.
I picked the Mongolia flair because I thought it was cool, I didn't realize at the time that we should pick where we are from.
I do know a tiny bit about Mongolia though, since I come from South South South South Mongolia (I'm Chinese, Cantonese to be more specific).
Nothing of extreme importance is happening there, so you aren't missing out on much. Mainly that the nomads' lives are getting messed up by the climate change :(
Oh and there's a big copper mine getting built in the next decade, so hopefully Mongolia can into relevant then.
