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.

I’ve never dated another Japanese since.

They’re the most insular people on the planet.
