Is it? I mean is it? Stereotypes are what they are for a reason.

The traffic thing is actually correct. I just put on my shades and my earphones and slump down when I'm in a taxi cab in another country.

Truth, and people are rude as frick.

Hawaii is basically little Japan with a huge amount of tourists coming here.

Mama bear almost flipped on one when we were at the mall eating and this lady bumps into our stroller and then her chair an doesn't say a word about it.

I've worked with some Japanese engineers a few times.

They seemingly worked 24 hours a day and were miffed if you didn't do the same. For the most part they were pretty cool though. One liked to eat at Nagoya on Sherwood because that is his hometown.

n Japan, there is great fear of failure and mistakes in front of other people. It is better to do nothing and avoid being criticized than to taste the humiliation of failure. As a result, there are things we wanted to do, but did not, and often regret.


I work with Japanese engineers often and this is very true. They are so scared to make a mistake that they often do nothing, or take a very long time to do something simple.

I lived in Japan, in a Japanese home for two years, and understand the culture and the rhythm of Japanese life. The original article and many of the comments in this thread are so stupid and ignorant as to make my sphincter hurt. For the record, and I don't care if you believe or understand this or not, but the average Japanese citizen is INFINITELY more perceptive of American life than the average American is about Japanese life. There is an English teacher from a Western nation in virtually every school in Japan. They study America. We have imported our culture to them. They vacation primarily to America. Their daily news and culture is overwhelmingly American-influenced.

A few thoughts:

They may be weird as hell. Ok they are weird as hell. It is possible to sit in a chair and be fellated in five minute increments, by 4 separate girls for twenty minutes until you pop, and then be rubbed down and showered and sent on your way, for $300 US. It is possible for your boss to read Manga porn at work and your company may actually have it's own "fight song" . But.....The Japanese are probably the single most polite people on the planet. Seriously. Number one. And they are over-whelmingly pro-American and they didn't bomb Pearl harbor any more than you had slaves.

You may now resume this high level OT-Japfest at your leisure.

Some of the comments are hilarious... someone referred to "Jambalaya" as "Jumbo" and it took about 15-20 replies before someone was like, "Wtf?"



I saw that. I'm not sure if he meant jambalaya or gumbo.

Damn, those orientals are fricking racist.


Actually this is factually quite correct. Asia is still a mostly insular region where everybody has the same hair and eye color (except dyes etc.) and very little ethnic diversity. You are either Japanese or you are not.

6. Knowing how to use sarcasm is a must to communicate with an American.

If you put your bent middle and index fingers of both hands in the air, you are making finger quotation marks. It means you do not believe what you are saying. You can also say, "or so called."
