in Japan: No Room at Inn for Foreigners on Scott Jarkoff's Blog
And they want to host the 2016 Olympics? It doesn´t take that long after you land in Japan to realize that Japanese people - not all of them, but surely most - do not like foreigners. Ask any foreigner here with a clear vision about Japanese not getting on subway cars with foreigners inside, or avoiding sitting down next to one. Or the ¨irashaimasse¨ yellings from shop employees when a foreigner enters any shop - with the true meaning of ¨there´s a foreigner inside our shop! robber insiiiide!¨, instead of the soft voice ¨may I help you?¨ which is reserved to the Japenese customers only? What, 2016 Olympics For Japanese Only? I do expect to hear something like this soon. Any wise guy will do like Bill Murray in ¨Lost in Translation¨: cash your credits ASAP and flee from this boring country.
