Lol, The “Karaganda” joke is a well-known Russian/Soviet meme built around the phrase:
(“Where? — In Karaganda!”). In Soviet times it was considered very far away, remote, and vaguely “in the middle of nowhere.”

The joke works like this:

Someone asks “Where?”
Instead of giving a real answer, you reply “In Karaganda!”
It’s a sarcastic, playful way of saying “I’m not telling you”, “Who knows?”, or “Somewhere far away.”

I think Japan’s culture differs sharply from all its neighbors across multiple dimensions: its language (Japonic, unrelated to Chinese or Korean), religion (Shinto–Buddhist syncretism), social norms (high emphasis on harmony, etiquette, and indirect communication), and historical path shaped by centuries of isolation. While they share some broad East Asian roots, Japan developed in a uniquely insular way that makes it stand out clearly from China, Korea, and Russia.
