I had my bag stolen a few weeks ago in a coffee shop in Japan. Just left it for a few minutes to go to the restoom.

BobbyCooper, it's fine with me if you continue trolling but you could you please change your location to something else? It embarrasses me.

EDIT: Another thing. DragonNL, the helpfulness you experienced was simply because you were obviously a foreign tourist. That kind of stuff doesn't happen between Japanese.

I got my Banana Republic jacket stolen in an izakaya where I was the only gaijin. It's not perfect here.


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

But instead she walked to a random house and asked a local resident. A few moments later she walked back to us and offered a ride to the minshuku. And we didn't even ask for anything! I was amazed.
Like Pogo mentioned, it's probably because you were a tourist. Combined with the small town attitude.

It's unfortunate that you weren't with Bobby. If that was the case, a stretched limousine with a motorbike escort would've have shown up to take you to your destination.

Indeed.

Hell, I overheard Japanese talking about crushing a Korean's face when I was shopping.

Yeah. Alllll Japanese are such good people.

Not to mention, pick pocketing at a Matsuri, some Japanese doing grafitti...etc.


Coffee prevents me from killing you.

You are wrong, what you saw was only an illusion...... Crushing Face is a new way to say hi.. so they are only being friendly to the Korean...

We have nothing else but good people in Japan.. My uncle think so, my aunt think so, my cousin think so, my little niece think so, even I think so....

That may be true, but it doesn't happen the other way around here in Holland...

I don't know what you guys have against Bobby, but from what I see in this thread he's just trying to have a normal conversation. I don't understand your problem with him, but stop challenging him. You only make things worse that way. If you have enough of his threads then don't read them.
