I take exception to you saying my post was a troll post--

Don't bash America for no reason and I won't call you a troll.

You know there are other people in the world apart from Americans.

Well yeah, I'm in another country if that means anything.

Maybe Americans think they are better than anyone else-- I take people individually

That's a generalization. No one ever said this in this thread. Are you insecure?

Please do not generalise about us and I'll try not to generalise about You.

I haven't said a single thing about the UK. You called Americans war mongerers, which we're all not, and accused us of occupation.

You cannot always believe everything you read and hear about us.

Once again I never said anything about England.


No doubt as you are now living in Japan you will become a fountain of knowledge about everything Japanese.

That would be cool.



I know this thread was about Americans living in Japan but what about Others from other natiions. Surely Japan wishes to do global business and no doubt many from the UK Buy Japanese goods. so surely it is worthwhile trying to get to know other nationalities.

I don't get why you're so insecure about this. Someone just said "What's it like for an American?" This thread could just as easily be useful to anyone from the west, but I don't think it's too outlandish to say that there are actually some topics that differ between the UK and America that could merit a different response depending on where you're from. If you care that badly, start a "What's it like for a UK person in Japan?" thread.

Working there must be different from being a student I should imagine.

Not really. I have a job here as well as go to school. All I had to do was get a work permit.


Really? So what must they make of others. maybe we are all from another planet entirely?

No, just until they ask where you're from. Even without speaking I've had people ask me here if I was from America, where I could just as easily be Canadian or English.


Please do not call me a troll again-- I object very strongly.

Don't insult another country for no reason and you won't be called a troll.


I'm not a cynic; I just like to play Devil's Advocate once in a while.
