Suppose that you had three choices:
- Screwing the most beautiful girl in the world
- Winning a tennis grand slam
- Getting the latest Porsche Cayman
Where would the girl rank?
I would say your comparison is flawed.
Why?
Cause in the last two, I'm getting something.
But with the first, she's lucky I'm giving her something!
Yep!

QQ – would agree in general day to day interactions that one generally does not runs across an overtly in your face racist type of reaction in Tokyo. Outside of Tokyo not so true.
Even in Tokyo I would encounter people on the subway or bus system that would get up and move to another part of the car rather than sit next to the Gaijin from time to time. Now typically these were older folks and I this type of thing does not really bother me that much – now if they would have been asking me to move that would have been a bit different.
Throw in some of the clubs and even some of the bath houses that will not allow Gaijin to enter and I would say that is pretty far from polite. There use to be a club (either in Shinjuku or Shibuya) that was even called NY, NY and in big bold letters across the door were the words “NO FORIEGNERS ALLOWED”. There’s some smarts – let’s name our club after an American city and not allow Gaijin to enter.
In more social type settings the Japanese in my experience will make it pretty clear if they want to interact with you or not – no fake smiles and lets play nice like one encounters in Thailand.
Business setting are whole different kettle of fish and also varies depending on if you are the buyer or the seller.

Sorry, no way mate. Must be you. I've been to Tokyo 45 times, used all sorts of public T. and never had that experience.
People move around the train for various reasons. Now in the summer, if your sweating, hell even I would try to move away from you.
Anything else is paranoia or jingoist guilt.
And don't forget most gaijin in Tokyo's entertainment areas are tourists and blundering ones at that...."Hey Marge let go into this place and see if we can take some pictures'.
Just because the signs are too blunt for our sensibilities no need to start thinking the 'P' word.

Amazing - I've lived in Japan too and can honestly say that the Japanese are about the politest people that I've encountered.
The Japanese don't smile as much as the Thais. but for courtesy and politeness have never come across a bunch of people that beat the Japanese.
Yes amazing indeed I was just thinking the same thing this weekend as I came back from a trip to kanchanaburi

I lived there for over 5 years and know what I experienced - took the trains daily and bus at least weekly. I can only recall this happening on the bus one time, but happened on the trains at least a dozen times. So not some kind of regular occurrence and only took place when the trains were not very full (like public holidays) – thereby allowing them someplace to move to. Again generally older folks.
Had a French guy and an English guy with me for about a week in Kyushu and they had a hell of a time understanding why none of the blow-job bars would let them in.
Also had a few African friends that worked in Roppongi area whenever we ventured out of Tokyo one would have thought they had leprosy or something they way they got treated in some establishments.
All that being said taking only my selfish wants/needs into consideration I would actually prefer to be living back in Tokyo – but other responsibilities make Thailand the place to be for the time being.

Well,,, China you can believe what you want.
But sex has really never been that important for me - maybe I'm weird, or, perhaps I've gotten jaded.
Suppose that you had three choices:
- Screwing the most beautiful girl in the world
- Winning a tennis grand slam
- Getting the latest Porsche Cayman
Where would the girl rank?
The girl would be somewhere in the three hundreds. if not lower, in my list of possible wishes. But then, I never doubted that I was weird.
QQ,
Lets see,
I hate Tennis (real men play Jai Alai),
Porsche's suck (Better status from Lamborghini),
I have screwed the most beautiful girl in the world (in my mind) already,
so where does that leave me???

Paris is the most visited city in the world for many good reasons. Breathtaking architecture is one of them if you ask me
Tokyo and BKK are for sure other nice places.
As of the Porsche, the ho' and the Grand Slam... must be fun messing up a Wimbledon final rushing a Cayenne to the players while a fit siliconned californian blondie gives you a head...
Latenight, dreamful young man...

IBFarang, I don't doubt it. A Jap will get the same reaction from some older Aussies here today - the one's that still would never own a Japanese car that is. All due to a little misunderstanding mentioned in history classes to the kids here - called the war, the Second World War.
Like Broken Leg, I often marvel at the culture, courtesy and politeness of the Japanese as I stand in Hellfire Pass by the ashes of Weary Dunlop or visit my relative’s graves in the beautifully maintained war cemeteries of Chung Kai and Kanchanaburi. LEST WE FORGET.
In those moments I think that I to would like to visit Japan just one time - just find me a time machine and a plane called the Enola Gay and I'll happily be on my way. Enjoy.

Minder,
That certainly is a screwed up attitude you show in the post above.
A little story to consider:
My mother lost several childhood friends and a fiancé in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. Years later, when my Father was posted to Japan, I never once in the 10 years we were there saw my mother treat any Japanese person with anything less than the respect and courtesy that she would give any other person she met.
I puzzled over this and many years later I asked her how she could do this. Her response "I kept telling myself that was then and this is now. The people that killed my friends are long gone and the people I met had nothing to do with it."
Minder your arguement supports the hate of every suicide bomber that had a relative killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Palestine. It is akin to saying that the people of Dresden should hate the British for firebombing an 'Open City' that was protected by International Law. Of course the people of Vietnam should also hate the Americans and Aussies because of the injustices they practiced whilst fighting in Vietnam.
Therefore Minder, I give to you my Mother's advice:
"That was then, this is now"
Get over it mate...

China Sailor;
...and if "Little Boy" were to jam in the bomb bay you think I would force it loose and ride it, Slim Pickens Dr Strangelove style into the centre of Hiroshima?
BTW stop picking on the Poms - the USAAF 8th lead the firebombing raids on Dresden.
I don't hate the Japs. Never have - but see the things they did and if you are a student of history it is not hard to understand why others might. The young ones I have met have a great sense of humour and try as I might to see some monster lurking inside the older ones, I never have. I hate what they did in the past as a Nation - but it is not a blind suicide bombers hatred - it is a hatred of the waste and the inhumanity that that war brought to the world. I feel there is a message in the past that should be heard - hence the RSL's words have always rung very true to me - Lest We Forget.
Georges Santayana warned the US about intervening in Vietnam by saying, “Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.” I wonder what he would have said about Iraq? Perhaps the same as Karl Marx "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce."
As to what your mother did and said, it does not surprise me. Not now that I have spoken with former POW's who had the same attitude. That whole generation was made from special material.
Sorry for hijacking the thread. Back on track - I go to Thailand for the history not the... no wait... its not for the history...Enjoy.
