but yo know what i have been asked many times--Why are you there? What do you do in your spare time? Why Japan?
yes,they treat us like we are inferior to them, but they also treat each other in the same way..i have never seen anybody talking to a stranger here. At the bus stop,itss like pin drop silence,in the bus same situation. Most of the time they sit alone or would rather like standing up then sitting next to a gaijin.
There's no excitement is their lives..everything going in a simple,straightforward manner like no turns..you like it initially when you come here but it starts to get annoying. It's been only 2 weeks and i kind of like it and also dislike it. THis place is beautiful or say something better than beautiful,but the people they wear these masks on their faces. when you go to a departmental store ,they greet you wid those fake smiles and "%&%&*&@###%" in japanese but never never will you find anyone to talk to or speaking to you outside.
Their is no adventure in their lives..i am an extrovert and i m feeling very lonely here. What do these people think about themselves?? I hate this homogeneous society..wid all that makeup on ur face..it pisses me of!!! Comeon you got such a beautiful country ,so natural but look at you guys...everytime under that thick film of makeup
therz an old saying that--a japanese child never sees the face of his mother till death all bcoz of the makeup..n their dressing and hairstyle..no words!!!
what they care about is reducing sound pollution and global warming ?? when their bullet comes out of tunnels ..they says it's a lot of noise and spend billions to find solution...Is that it??
there are more problems in the world..look outside your japan..people die of poverty, therz no water to drink but you people..you suck !!!
one more thing which i noticed, these people always want to live in japan never think about settling in other countries bcoz they never want to come out of there comfort zone,following the same timetable everyday with no changes  |
I don't understand what's up with all the Bashing towards the behavior of Japanese people? Really, I'm half Japanese on my Fathers side and I always travel to Japan with my mother who isn't Asian at all. People have always been very nice and very helpful to her. I think it has a lot to do with how you act and how people perceive you. If you're polite and abide by their customs you really shouldn't have a problem with the people. Yes some of the older generations might not be as keen on foreigners as the younger ones are, but still, you can't expect them to be perfect.
From my experiences I've never met such honest people.
Just in the last week I've witnessed so much honesty among these people.
Just yesterday we were checking out of a very large hotel in Tokyo Disney and we just left a few coins in the room. As we were standing for our taxi this bellhop comes running out to us waving his hand! I suppose they were checking over the room and they stumbled across this small amount of yen and decided to run all the way across the hotel just to bring it to us. Of course we let him have it, although it took a while to convince him to keep it, and he was so, so grateful. I've never experienced people like that before. Sure you might have those days where you get ripped off by someone trying to make a little bit of money of a weary traveler. But what country doesn't do that at times, no one's perfect.
It's what you make of it, treat people well and you'll get the same back.
