As far as morphing into a Japanese, no one expects that. But you do need to try to fit in, especially in Japan. Japanese are already uncomfortable around strangers, having one living with you would be very difficult for them at first. I'm just trying to get you to see how they might feel.

Yes - "seeing" as in "because." I can look at seafood.
I do understand what you're saying, and I agree with you. Like I said, though, I'm not willing to change these two things about myself. They've agreed to let me into their house, and these are two things I think that they can accept if they're going to accept me. If they can't accept it, they also have the choice of kicking me out so that I can move in with another family.
It would be fine if you were just trying to get me to see how they might feel, but I didn't quite appreciate you saying, "I think you should cancel," and suggesting that I would make a bad name for foreigners just because I won't hide my piercing.
