Since we actually get some nice discussions going here every now and then, an article I found interesting: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/fl20120501ad.html?fb_ref=article_japantimes#.T6JU9PsHPA4.facebook
Oh man, having been here for 13 or so years I find that piece true to life. Only today I was driving back from the store with my wife and son when some old twat next to me wouldn't stop looking at me. Even as he pulled away he was still fucking looking. I gave him a shitty look as I burned past him. I mean, WTF! can't a white guy drive a car in this country ? Oh, and Japanese have no shame when it comes to staring at you. Especially the old gits. I bet everyone who lives in Japan has had this experience at a festival - Karaage sales guy "This is Japanese KFC" The Okonomiyaki sales guy "This is Japanese pizza" No it fucking isn't so stop saying it All you can do his give a half arsed smile and say "really". It does get very tiring.
