European movies

Question

Could you please check if my composition sounds well? Please change it the way you would write.

When I watch European movies, everything looks very exotic, including people, food, buildings, cars, and tone of conversation.Contrarily, I wonder if tourists from Europe in Japan find everything here exotic as well.

Hi again Moguwai! I made some suggestions for improvement below:)

When I watch European movies, everything looks very exotic, including the people, food, buildings, cars, and tone of the conversations. Similarly, I wonder if tourists from Europe in Japan find everything here exotic as well.

Please note that the Japanese have a concept of tone in language that is not applicable in European languages:) So a European will understand something different from your description, I believe (if my understanding of Japanese tone is correct!). Hope that helps!

Thank you very much for your reply, What I mean by "tone of the conversations" is the way they talk, in the sense that e.g. Japanese tend to speak calmly while European seem to speak emotionally. In  that sense, is " tone of the conversations" appropriate?

It's fine in my opinion to describe tone in this way:)

When I mentioned Japanese tone, I mean this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_pitch_accent

So my understanding could be wrong, but I believe that Japanese tone indicates how to say a word so to give the correct meaning?

But in any case, it doesn't change the sentence you wrote above anyway!
