Going to japan was the biggest mistake of my life.

Seriously, your description sounds NOTHING like Japan. It does sound like a whole lot of trolling though...

No foreigners signs are pretty much limited to the red light district, on those sort of businesses. Now unless you`re going to admit you spent all your time wandering in and out of soaplands looking for an easy lay, I am not going to believe you encountered any at all. Mugged in broad day light is an extreme stretch for even the worst red light areas though...

I`m also very very doubtful that anyone was rude to you... Or maybe you were walking around testing out your anime acquired yakuza slang on people?




But... Your ip is saying you are in New Jersey? Way to gouge your believability...

Im not in detorit right this second. I have family in Jersey. I'll be back in Detorit this afternoon and i'll post from there once i get back to prove im not lying.

I have a question. Why did you register to this board if you're so "against" Japan, because of your bad (still fishy to me) experience there? Seems kind of pointless to be here just to complain and you're not giving any constructive criticism.

My point was to share my bad experience. I think forums like this should be used to share all experiences good and bad.

Im not against japan in general. I love anime and i love their culture...i just hate their racism.

Exactly what I was thinking when I read the first post...

I don't know why we're trying to appease the OP to be honest.

I got mugged in London and taken advantage of as a foriegner in Chicago.

I got over it and had some of the best times in Britain and the US.

London Chicago and New York were awesome places to hang out!

I also got some dirty looks from some people on my travels.... whatever.

What....you guys think i just randomly woke up this morning and thought to myself "you know what would be fun....going to japanforum.com and making up a story about having gone to japan and having a bad experience"

Seriously....what do i have to gain making this stuff up? Also if i was gonna lie i would make the story seem more believable by saying i was mugged at night rather than in broad daylight.

You guys think that Japan is some sort of utopia where nothing bad can happen to anyone.....and anyone who went there and had a bad experience MUST be lying.

I thought internet forums like this welcomed people shareing their good experiences as well as their bad ones.

Nobody here is trying to appease me...in fact everyone here is claiming my story is a complete work of fiction.

Also i could have "gotten over" my mugging and enjoyed japan but i lost most of my money in said mugging.

Well that sucks... but you have to be rational about the whole thing.

You're blaming Japan for your misfortune because it happens to have criminals in it and you happen to be the unlucky victim of a crime.

Really if you were going to blame anyone... blame your lack of foresight.

Also... how do you know your mugger was Japanese? There are many Asian immigrants in Japan... not that I'm suggesting that you direct your irrational scapegoating on any of them.

I dont know the mugger was japanese and i never said i knew. But i can tell the difference between an east asian and a south asian....he was east asian for sure. Now MAYBE it was chinese or korean...but still does it really matter?

No you're right... it doesn't matter... I'm just trying to make you aware that your irrational judgement of Japan is off in more ways than one.
