I would like to know how people from different nations think about people of other nations 'using' their culture?
Like wering their liveries or making their music or food.
Best expample: how does a Japanese think about an European wearing a kimono
or an Indian thinking of an American wearing a sari?

I can't really say because I belong to two different cultures equally less.

so tell me what you think by seeing such?

Well, I've heard of people in other cultures compaining about the invasiveness of American culture, such as it is, but they still borrow it.

During World War II, the Japanese government officially banned jazz and frowned on baseball, but both survived there (and thank goodness, because the Seattle Mariners have Ichiro Suzuki and Kenji Johjima!).

Here in America we are exposed to many different cultures, and many of us try to embrace them all, despite what you might hear about "English only" and all that. It helped make us strong, and abandoning that, as certain fools advocate, will severly weaken us. Our core values of freedom and liberty (also under attack by those fools) remain the same...and we got some of them from the French!

It's perfectly okay. It's okay for a European to wear a kimono or an American to wear a sari. I'd even say it's okay for a man to wear pantyhose or a woman to wear a jock strap. A 23-year old wearing a diaper might be okay, but I'm just not sure where they'd find the right size.
