personal experience with japanese people is that if you either A. make an effort to speak japanese or B. actually do speak it they are very hospitable and are a lot of fun to be around. you guys are spouting off a lot of stereotypes within the thread and im wondering how many of you have any actual experience or is it all hear say?

**nobby** · 09-10-09, 18:12

Doc in regards to what's been said before, I experienced a LOT of xenophopia last year, to the point of simply asking a woman on the train

"sorry, excuse me, what stop is this" with her turning her back on me and walking away...

(Nearly nutted her in the back of the head for that... doesn't matter if she's a woman or not, it's simply fucking disrespectful)

Also the first time I went in 2007, I was looking around the town for the train station as I couldnt read much then, I asked a passing woman "excuse me, where could I find the train station," I got "WAKARIMASEN WAKARIMASEN (I don't understand I don't understand) walking away at speed... Right towards the fucking station !

There is a lot of bad shit that gets left alone, which can be humourous depending on your personality... For example, I stayed at my mate's for the night in "Machida" which used to be a head spot for yakuza hanging around, the place with the highest crime rate in Tokyo... (Aparently that all stopped once the police put up megaphones playing "It's a small world, Afterall" constantly)

I was just walking around, was gonna play some pachinko when I see infront of me in the street, a guy with a traditional headband, dragging a hatchet on the ground, shouting uncompredendable random shit and running at people, then stopping...

I knew I HAD to walk past him to get to where I wanted... I did so slowly, we walked past eachother, him giving me the weirdest fucking eye look I've ever seen. Then I hear him stop walking and start coming closer towards me from behind. Never have I ever felt like, ohh fuck... ah well... death time...

I put my hand into my pocket... itching to take out my digital camera to film and get a fucking great youtube video for you lot, however I couldn't bring myself to do it, I was so fucking scared hearing the hatchet dragging along the ground behind me...

He then ran past me, infront looking at some teenagers in the street and then his random stop and turn around.

The thing I couldn't understand the most was how fucking stupid the public are to just "leave" someone like that, not say a thing, people were NOT doing ANYTHING!

And the Worst thing to top it off...

I found out later a police box was only 100 metres away...

Other than that, the people can be very hospitable when they want to be, if not "too scared" by a foreigner, thinking they'll have to speak English.
English ability is practically zero and unseen, so if any of you do go, DO learn some Japanese, it's not That hard a language as french, german or spanish you learn at school.

Events like this can make someone think Japan is nothing but full of racist weirdos, but it's when you get Japanese friends that have studied in Britain/America, you find the true Hospitable and even your best friends you'll know your whole life

**Hell-demon** · 09-10-09, 20:55

Exactly.

Say hi to Godzilla for me.

But Nobby, if you were to come up to me in the street and ask for directions, I'd turn and run away too! Or walk fast... or maybe slow, old age and unfit

**nobby** · 12-10-09, 18:35

The thing about it though, is suddenly imagining that people around you see you as a threat

I look like a 12 year old boy with short hair and waxed Mario moustache

The LAST thing i'd ever expect ever in my life is to be seen as a threat

anyways, i'm off in 2 days

here's a video from Nobby to make you smile and keep your spirits high !

Make sure you tell all the Japanese ladies 'watashi no chinchin ga moete iru', I did it while I was there on a study abroad over the summer and it was awesome.

**Dribble Joy** · 13-10-09, 10:49

Here's a fun thing you might want to try when you're there.

Learn some German, a couple of random phrases, any european language will do infact.

Then, if some other Westerner comes up to you (who will most probably be American or British) asking for directions or something, relief at finding another soul who understands them; whip out your German phrases and watch them panic.

**nobby** · 13-10-09, 12:52

Hahaha

Speaking of German, when I went in 2007, around the red light district around Shinjuku, kabukichou- (I went there for the massive arcade, Didn't realise it was what it was, since there wasn't any sluts around)

Nigerians would scout left, right and centre for foreigners, so you'd have them running from afar just to get to you and say "Yuu wahna Kom to arh cluhb?"

You'd get very pissed off with having 6+ of them ask you within the hour, you tell them you've got to get back because the trains stop in an hour, they ask "well where do yuu liv?" I told them shiinamachi, then you get a long pause... "yuu hav enuff taim !"

I had quite enough of these, and you could constantly see police quizing and arresting them for visa reasons, my Japanese friend told me they're recruited by the Yakuza, since they own all the nightclubs and bars around Tokyo.

I spoke the next nigerian in fluent german

telling him to speak english and how I CANT UNDERSTAND YOU! Was very fun watching his face turn all angry 'n' that, "arh yuu messing me? ><" said he.

My Japanese friend found it hilarious, however my American friend was shit scared. Meh, I had fun and I recommend everyone else to do it

How come you're always prancing around different countries every year?

Cause he doesn't live in Sweden with that secret hidden village of lesbian women, so has reasons to leave the UK (but can't go to Sweden cause the secret hidden village is a secret, shh, don't tell anyone!)

**Hell-demon** · 15-10-09, 19:33

I wouldn't go there anyway Lexxuk. They're lesbians they aren't interested in men.

Duh.

**Lexxuk** · 15-10-09, 23:09

That's totally besides the point, lesbians are hawt, therefore an entire secret village of lesbians is uber hawt, and as this is a post about Japan, its about to be infested with monsters that have lots of tentacles! Wonderful place to visit!
