Default Just leave the Japanese alone. It's none of you sick anti-Japanese Koreans' business. Just leave. Never come to Japan.

etc. So no I did not go too far, and I was glad I got back on the
train when I did, because it was already getting crowed at 2:00pm.
I did not pull into Narita until well after dark, and had to stand
most of the way.


I thought you sitting on the floor, ready to kick *ss?

if the drive does go out. And I did ask people where to find
such parts, and they said there are lots of stores at
Akihabara station that will have them. Not !


Obviously, the people who live are wrong, and the guy who visitted once
knows the place better.

Why should they? They speak it everywhere else in Asia.

thus you were unequivocally, brain dead clueless and didn't
know that you were surrounded by thousands of advertisements telling
you where to go, what to buy and what to pay.


So shopping malls in Hong Kong have signs in English telling people what to
do, but Japanese scream about "imperialism" and refuse to have them. It's
interesting.


I've been in Japan for 25 years I do speak, read, and write
Japanese and I have no, zero, zip problems finding precisely what I
need in Akihabara and/or any other part of Tokyo.


If you've been in Japan for 25 years, how do you know what's available
outside of Japan, which isn't available in Japan?


Japan doesn't
need you and has been doing just fine without you for more than a 1000
years of its civilization.


Really? They seemed to need resources and conquered other countries
recently. But failing that, they depend on American capitalism to
survive... unless an American wants to buy something, then it's
"imperialism" so they do not deserve to buy anything.

Apud skeptic (fj.life.in-japan) hoc legimus:

Funny. I've been in and out of Japan about 10 times in the last 25
years, racking up a total of over 12 months there, and apart from
the odd youth in a black uniform, I've never heard anyone screaming
about "imperialism". What's more, I see a lot of signs in English
(often hilariously broken) telling people what to do.

Really? What a remarkable assertion!

Actually, the Japanese tend to become quite silent when the subject of
imperialism comes up. Seems to make them feel uncomfortable for some reason.

I've been in Japan for 25 years I do speak, read, and write
Japanese and I have no, zero, zip problems finding precisely what I
need in Akihabara and/or any other part of Tokyo.

Maybe he makes use of the Internet to glean information from informative
fellows such as yourself.

need you and has been doing just fine without you for more than a 1000
years of its civilization.

Um, these days a majority of Japan's exports go to markets outside the
United States. It's a global economy, and America is just one (big)
market among many.

There are plenty of white losers in Japan who serve as apologists. You hear
them defending Japanese backwardness and inaccessibility, that foreigners in
Japan "deserve" to be treated poorly -- as opposed to being proud of Japan's
progressivism.

Right on! They should be more proud of Japan's progressivism!

But what were those examples of Japan's progressivism again? I didn't
see any in your earlier post.

I've been living in Japan for 13 years, and I've never hear anything of
the kind. Either you're hanging around in the wrong kind of company -
losers, did you say? Well, that figures - or you just made it up.

Every one I met in Japan have been really good people, not the losers, maybe
the OP was in another country like the U.S. hanging out with some losers.
And I am proud to be connected to Japan if only by marriage and siblings.

Yeah, down to the Australian English teachers who get drunk every night in
Harajuku, or the Eastern European whores in Shinjuku? Unless you're one of
them, anyway.
