Walking on eggshells? Where do you live?

I don't think the Japanese judge us too differently but there are certainly foreigners who judge other foreigners differently and hold them up to standards that they wouldn't hold Japanese locals to. It's as though they expect every foreigner here to be some sort of ambassador for their nation. Some people though just want to have fun!
