历史
BaFa BaFa was originally developed by the United States Navy alongside Simulation Training Systems for the United States military abroad. The exercise came about as an answer to incidents and misunderstandings between American sailors and foreign citizens of host countries. 最初, the program focused on simulating and roleplaying interactions with specific cultures such as Greek or Japanese, but these endeavors were abandoned in favor of a generalized exercise that provides a more universal awareness of cultural difference.
