More reasons why I will never set foot in Japan. If for some reason if I ever married someone who is Japanese I will not move to Japan.

Re: Groping
Maybe you should move and keep her from getting raped? Rape statistics in Japan are very low compared to most western countries including the good old USA.

Japanese food IMO is disgusting (it doesn't help the fact that fish and pork are big there, I hate both). Everything is overpriced there. Men are pussies, women don't stand up for themselves when attacked. Housing cost too much, beef cost too much money. Can't own a gun (yes I'm serious). Culture is too fucked up for my taste (some things Japanese do make me want to laugh).GaijinPunch wrote:B/c of the lack of porn? Just use the internet.More reasons why I will never set foot in Japan.
I'm one of those crazy-ass Americans who will never leave the US to move to another country because fuck it I'm American. Like us crazy Americans it's our way or the highway.



As long as I have the right to own a gun I can say WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

P.S.: GP I'm being serious for the most part. I know you have your reasons for staying in Japan (family and more than that) but just face it I'm the American that you don't want to be. Now where's my bottle of Jack Daniel's that's lying around, we all need more shooting in the woods around here.........

Re: Groping
A little follow up: You can say that I'm too American to travel to other places. Of course this statement will make me look bad, but hell it's the truth. I have my roommates who are big into video games/anime who want to travel to Japan because of all that crap. Honestly just because you watch anime and play video games from Japan doesn't mean you have to travel to Japan and like the whole cultural crap and etc.

Re: Groping
Fucking pregnant women is definitely not stupid for the sole reason that they can't get any more pregnant than they already are, so condoms aren't necessary if lack of STDs is confirmed in both partners. Certainly less stupid than groping, anyway.Dragoforce wrote:Hmm, wonder what's most stupid. Fucking pregnant women or reading Dominos opinions?

Still, I don't believe you need to visit Japan if you want to have your way with a pregnant lady for your money. I'd be surprised if there was any form of prostitution unavailable in, say, London, if only you can afford it.

P.S. #2: I'm not driving on the right side of the car.
It's culture shock when you first step on Japanese soil. I was there for two weeks and it was an interesting learning experience. Most Japanese natives, when asked if they speak English, really couldn't speak it at all. Maybe some of the younger ones (since they take English in high school). Walking down the sidewalks of the bigger cities in Japan was no problem during the day & at night...and safer than walking downtown in the bigger U.S. cities.
Stayed At the Hiroshima Youth Hostel for a few nights, they served up some mighty tasty spagetti with pesto sauce one night. All I had to eat it with was with a pair of chopsticks. I really wasn't too keen or skilled on using them to eat spagetti with but I managed the best I could doing so. I can eat a mean plate full of spagetti topped with a heaping mound of pesto sauce with a traditional fork any ol' day. True story right there, folks.
And what GP says about finding a true Mexican eatery in Japan, no such luck in finding one while there. The best in terms of eating at a foreign restrurant would be a French or Italian one at best in Japan (based on my observation). I'll bet that if a Mexican restrurant were to open up in downtown Tokyo, it'd do quite well. Of course, all the food/ingredients would have to be shipped in overnight by UPS/FedEx. Having all the ingredients in-house would be even better but for speciality food items, overnight shipping is your best bet.
On my last night in Japan, was treated out to this really expensive & ritzy Japanese sushi bar in the Ginza district of Tokyo by some good Japanese friends. Was told that I could eat it with my hands since I wasn't too skilled using chopsticks anyways. Tried to eat as much of this real geniune raw sushi out of politeness since it was the real thing. My stomach was queasy at the thought of eating this raw seafood but I didn't upchuck it. Plus you can't take home food leftovers since it's not the custom to ask for a "doggie bag" and just to leave all uneaten food on the plate. So for the party of five including myself, it was easily over 20,000 yen for the sushi meal alone.
It was crazy trying to find Japanese Mountain Dew soda at the numerous soda vending machines...was only able to find it twice in both the 150ml and 300ml can size. I had no trouble buying Japanese Pepsi and Coke sodas as they were everywhere. Buying/drinking the 500ml sized sodas was your best bet (since you end up paying the same price regardless if the soda can is 150ml, 300ml or 500ml size). Drinking Pocari Sweat energy drink tastes better than Gatorade indeed.

Re: Groping
Yes, this happens. In Japan you basically are guilty until proven innocent. Their legal system is pretty fucked as well. Good luck if you're white.
Other laughable things:
Japan has an astronomical conviction rate. So, for Domino, you can point out to your friends who wank to Japanese culture what a human rights disaster this place is. For 98%... it's not a problem. If you fall through the cracks though, it's suicide for you.
Japan re-adopts Trial By Jury. While on the surface this is a praisable action and shows that the Japanese government isn't fully retarded (only mostly), it's a gigantic fist-fuck for a few reasons. The main one being the culture here is amazingly unsympathetic. Not to be cold, but people are taught their whole lives to surpress their feelings and "go with the flow". Then one day you get selected to hear whether or not some guy slaughtered someone else, and whether you think he should live or die? No joke, there were protestors marching through the city to keep the jury system right where it was: in the shitter.

I'm seriously considering moving back to Japan if I can. Raising my daughter in Japan seems more appealing than raising her in the USA. American society is going down the crapper super fast. At least in Japan, people there are very adept at leaving me the heck alone. Sure, gaijin are often magnets that attract crazy people, but for the most part, it was rather nice when I lived there. I kept thinking that life would be better once I moved back to the States, but I've come to realize that the "American Dream (TM)" is not all that it's cracked up to be.

Re: Groping
I did and do to an extent. I hold American culture in contempt too, though. There's no reasons my standards should drop b/c I'm from somewhere or currently reside there. Both places are completely fucked in different ways.And why would you ever marry a Japanese girl when you would treat her culture with contempt?
Have you seriously, seriously considered the pros and cons of both? Of course they leave you alone, as this is part of the culture. (See my rant above). Unless you have the dough to send your kid to a non-Japanese school, she will be growing up in a culture that supports this type of ignoring across the board.I'm seriously considering moving back to Japan if I can.

Other stuff you have to look forward to:
-Your daughter will never be Japanese
-An economic outlook even more bleak than the states
-Pricey or bad education (sometimes both)
I was somewhat okay w/ those when I went back. My base currency was strong, international school was a total possibility, and it wasn't totally apparent that post-Koizumi Japan is completely lost. Now my currency is weak, I've realized what an uphill battle it is for your kid to speak English (which is a big deal to me), and I just can't imagine this place ever looking attractive for retirement.
Things might turn around, but as negative as the cons of living in the US are (and there are plenty of them) it just seems like the smarter long term decision.

Re: Groping
New Yorkers have a tendency of not giving a crap either. It's difficult to blame anyone for that, though. With the legal system the way it is, helping someone can have bad legal ramifications. Say you see someone getting robbed with a knife and you help the victim by twisting the assailant's arm behind his back and it breaks. Instead of getting accolades for saving the victim, all you get is lawsuits up your ass. This happened to someone some years back, in fact.

Re: Groping
It's totally different here. You're ignored on every single level. I wiped out on my bike once... totally went horizontal in the air. Ice coffee all over me. 5 people literally right there... all kept walking. I read an article today actually that was saying the Japanese' uncanny ability to mind their own business might actually lead to higher casualties in the next big Earthquake. O_O

Re: Groping
Jesus. Even with my cultural relativist goggles firmly affixed, that kind of bystander apathy makes my piss boil. Especially as merely checking you were alright wouldn't have necessarily meant "getting involved" anyway.
