I have met very few Mexicans living in Tokyo (there are tourists from Mexico, of course). One of the guys who I did meet was working at a Mexican restaurant and he told me that he came to Japan because it was easier for him to get a Japanese visa than an American visa.

Not to sound racist or anything, but I'd probably get really irritated if I went all the way to Japan and heard Spanish...
I would think, "As if I don't hear that often enough at home, when I go on vacation to get away from everything that is 'home', I have to hear it here, too! >_< " Out of curiosity, how popular is Mexican food in Japan? Is it near as prolific as it is hear in California? Do they Japan-ify the Mexican food like McDonald's has done? If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you actually make them think, they'll hate you. ~Don Marquis Quote:

But to answer your question: I don't ever remember seeing Mexican food in Japan. The closest thing (goegraphically) was Brazillian food.

Not that I don't understand the replies, but I'm really not trying to be racist! My problem isn't with Mexicans. I just wouldn't expect to travel to the other side of the world and then hear the same (foriegn) language I hear at home XD ^_^;;; .
That's like taking a sip of Coke when you're really craving a cold Coke to find out that it's Pepsi! Or taking a Spanish class where the teacher doesn't ever speak Spanish to the class. Or as the song says, "A free ride when you've already paid." Learning that Visual Kei ACTUALLY got started in Madagascar--that would get a lot of people to go "wtf???", I'm sure! Thank god that's not true... If Spanish were the language I wanted to hear, I could go out, drive West on the freeway for a half hour, and be in the middle of the Hispanic district in my city. Not that I would need to even go that far--I live in California, so all I'd really have to do is go outside to the public streets. If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; but if you actually make them think, they'll hate you. ~Don Marquis Quote:

I've been to quite a lot of places myself and I have always found other tourists from my country. Moreover, with English being your native language (is it?), you're gonna come across a bunch of people who speak the language you normally hear at home everywhere in the world, no matter where you go to, which -in my opinion- is a good thing and I don't even want to think about how hard it'd be to get around if English was only spoken in English-speaking countries. everything is relative and contradictory ~
