I bet they showed you around. The acquaintance of a westerner brings status. The fact that I don’t drink alcohol spares me most of this. They hear “I don’t drink” as “I won’t drink with you.”
A Chinese, not do much. Ethnic Chinese are second class citizens here.

I can’t claim to know anything about that but I felt serious hostility in Japan. Chinese tend to be pretty bigoted.
Ok I wasn’t in Japan long, but after all is said and done I didn’t like them. They’re the only people I’ve ever seen smoke while eating. I had a headache over a week from a one-day layover.
I was dating a Japanese guy for a while. We got along great. Suddenly I started getting the voicemail. I forget how I finally managed to see him in person but eventually got through that something totally innocent I had said weeks before he had later reinterpreted in Japanese terns and decided I’d, I don’t know, insulted him or something. It was kind of painful.

Yeah, China was a very different animal to Japan or Vietnam or pretty much any other Asian country I’ve been to.
The people there seemed a lot less welcoming to foreigners and I definitely had the impression there was more of an anti-black tinge to it.

I’ve never dated another Japanese since.
They’re the most insular people on the planet.
