Yes.
Except for the recent change in immigration procedure. Then again, as they did the SAME THING to me and worse (Like strip searching my baby, opening cans in my bag and leaving them in there to leak, breaking my camera because it was "suspicious" on top of photographing and fingerprinting....) in the US last time I visited (and I`m a citizen there...) I think things could be quite a bit worse - don`t you?
Oh, and never been turned down by a realtor. Ever.
Not everyone likes to wallow in a puddle of "I`m a gaijin! I have it so hard!!"
