In the bar I own in Hakodate it's hardly unusual to see Japanese girls getting drunk, obnoxious and trying to pick up foreign guys for that matter.
I think it's just that Japanese can get away with being drunk/obnoxious, but if a foreigner does it than he's judged more. I feel like a lot of foreigners here are walking on egg shells all the time, not trying to be meiwaku, I guess. But you're right, this consideration is taken more to heart by long term residents.


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