Fuck Japan Cred Forums, i went there for a vacation for a week with 3 friends and it was awful, let me tell you why so you wont bother going there aswell. Consider this a warning Cred Forumsro's.
1: We went to the cinema, watched a comedy movie in Japanese (we all speak it decently and can understand it quite well). Guess what? Appearently Japanese people don't laugh during movies so it was just me and my friends laughing and we got dirty looks and eventually a warning... FOR LAUGHING DURING A COMEDY MOVIE WTF! How the fuck do these droids not laugh during a movie?
2- We went to a restaurant and we ordered some food, but the waitress kept saying that she doesnt understand is, so we said it again and she still didnt understand us which is bullshit because we can speak it pretty well. So we used an online translator and again she pretended not to understand and we eventually left.
3- You want to shop in a mall as a foreinger? Well sure, just dont get mad when people with 5 fucking bags full of shit will be infront of you at the register and will look at you while waiting in line and wont let you go first eventhough you have 2 items while they have 5 bags full. Nope, you gotta wait for them to unbag their 5 fucking bags, wait 10 minutes for them to be done, and THEN you can put your 2 items on the register and be done in 2 minutes. This happend TWICE in 1 week.
4- Greeting people in public is normal in my country, we all greet eachother here when we pass eachother which is a sign of socialism and a good neighbourhood. Want to greet someone in Japan? Sure, but dont look weird when they give you a confused and dirty look and ignore you. Hell some of them dashed away as if we were about to rob them.
Fuck Japan, im never going there again. Backwards shit country. Atleast some of the women were hot.
Never went there, never will. But this is exactly what i thought it would be... bunch of arrogant people afraid of foreingers, this doesnt come as a surprise lol.
Owen Lee
Asians suck in general, nothing new here.

>I visited a country with a different culture to mine and was offended that their culture was different from mine.
Nathan Gutierrez
Smartass. So you honestly agree with all of my points? The laughing in the cinema that is forbidden? A waitress pretending not to understand us? Someone in line who has 5 bags who didnt allow us to go first but forced us to wait for her endless bags? Greeting people that may aswell cause a panic?
Fuck off.
Owen Campbell
This is either a copypasta or OP is a clueless western tourist and also a faggot
Brandon Smith
> Obvious americunt is obvious
I lived there for 9 years, learned the language and culture, cane back to the UK, go back there 2-3 times a year through work
Easy to speak to people, easy to live life there, great food, safe, respectful.
Japan and the Japanese like certain western things but really hate Americunts. Us Brits are ok. Canucks even more so
But americunts? Nope. They don’t like you
Hmm...wonder why...
John Rodriguez
Damn that's fucking weird. Went there and had a great time. The people were super nice too and would help us get around places. What country are you from?
>understands nothing about Japanese culture >goes to Japan and bitches when it's nothing like the west Simply speaking some of the language doesn't mean you understand how they act in public.

It's not that bad you should've known they don't take kindly to foreigners. Everyone knows this fact. Just smile and treat everyone with respect and they lighten up to you. You idiots must have had angry confused moron faces the whole time and they were like fuck these guys.
When I was in Japan I had girls asking to take pictures of me, touching my hair and some wanted to cut my hair and keep it but I'm a blue eyed blonde and apparently they're obsessed with that. China was even more extreme people would run up and grab my hair and touch me it was pretty rude.
Josiah Gonzalez
Fine, I'll elaborate.
>1. Laughing during movie Honestly just a cultural thing. Some nigger from a country in which going to the cinema is seen as a social event in which you talk to your mates could have come to America, gone to the same cinema as you, talked through the movie (which he considered normal) and then gotten upset about the annoyed American reactions. Exactly the same as your situation, except you were the nigger.
>2. Restaurant You don't speak Japanese as well as you think you do. If you worked in a restaurant and some chink spoke broken English which you couldnt understand you'd react the same way.
>3. Checkout queue Almost anywhere in the world it's normal to just wait your turn. If someone lets you in front of them it's a kindness, it's not something you should expect as normalcy.
>4. Greeting people in public. You gave the answer yourself. In your country it's a social cue which tells the other party you are not a threat. In a country which developed different social norms, it is very conceivable that acting out of the ordinary (aka, making weird gustures to strangers) is the threathening thing to do. No wonder they avoided you. There might be some country in which it is polite to have your dick poking out, because showing it is limb guarantees you aren't about to rape the other person. If this guy went on a holiday to your hometown with his dick out, you'd avoid him too. It is the EXACT same scenario but you're probably to dense to realise this.
But the truth is, due to the way you've interacted with the people in this thread, I'm going to assume a lot of these things had to do with you simply being an unpleasant person who gets easily offended.
Grayson Rivera
These faggots in this topic never went to Japan and are probably weeb as fuck.
The OP Is right, or atleast what i experience comes similair to that.
The people there are so boring, they fear laughing in public (malls, threatres etc, everything behind closed doors unless its a convention). And they usually grab stuff before you grab it and usually cut in line quickly.
And the whole thing that Japanese people dont understand a foreinger who speaks fluent Japanese is fucking true, look on the internet, fuck look at Youtube and type that in and you'll see. Its a common problem there where they pretend they dont know what you are saying.
Gavin Baker
A western person should never go to an Asian country, it does not mix one bit. Western countries are free, the people are more social, and Asian is the exact opposite: They lie, they say what they are told to say, they have no opinion whatsoever and they are mostly shy and stuck up.
Welcome to Asia OP, good thing you learned your lesson faggot.

Oh my god this made me hard to read. Retarded weeb
What is "weeb" about pointing out that different countries have different cultures? You know, a fact.
Anthony Diaz
Not a weeb, I have no interest in Asian countries and will never go there. I would have replied the same way no matter what country this topic was about.
OP is just a fag. Probably cries about niggers in his own country but gets pissed when another country doesn't like foreigners in their own homes.
People in Tokyo, like people in NY and London, don't talk to strangers. Don't fucking greet them, you'll come off as a weirdo.
Go to the boonies and it's expected that you greet everyone you see, even if you don't know them. Like if you climb a mountain in Japan, you say hi to everyone you pass on the way up and down. It's almost more tiring than the slug up Fuji itself.
John Stewart
>which is a sign of socialism smh
Asher Ortiz
As someone who's been to Japan and many other countries, let me say that you sound like a complete moron. It's not even that I don't believe you, but what were you expecting exactly? That people would be just delighted to see you and your friends? lol
Tyler Morgan
I just came back from a year long internship at a big engineering firm there. What you say is mostly true, but you are also an idiot for not realizing this before going.

Caleb Fisher
If I remember correctly France and Japan loves each other so I'm ok to go
Xavier Lopez
Totally different to my experience; Japanese people would say hello as I passed them in the street. Most supermarkets had self service check out machines, which the people with more shopping avoided.
Japanese believe in not inconveniencing others... if you are laughing out loud, how are others near to you supposed to hear what's being said? Also, British people generally don't laugh out loud in comedy movies either; or at least keep it as short and quiet as possible.. . again it's a respect issue.
As for the waitress, you should have used your Japanese skills to ask for another staff member.. or just shown her the menu and pointed to what you wanted.
I was in dueling banjos's style country, and the people were cool..
Maybe it was you and your friends that were the assholes?
John Gray
ur probably a nigger lmao
Mason Hall
Except maybe the speaking part, which seems to be common for japanese to assume that anyone not looking japanese don't know how to speak it.
I see that covered the Checkout queue situation well. What the bloody fuck world is OP from that waiting your turn is onerous?? If OP has been gracious in the past, that doesn't increase karma. You do a nice thing to be nice. You do not do it so that you can expect it from others and fucking whine about how you were treat like normal human.
we should adopt this in every country. Niggers smell like shit.
James Flores
Well,my late dad, Army Air corps vet helped nuke the bastards twice in1945,hence the un-love. Fuck visiting ANY Asia for now,ti[[ the Coronavirus subsides..,
>Greeting people in public is normal in my country, we all greet eachother here when we pass eachother
Fuck off with this. I hate people who think that because you're in physical proximity you have to be their buddy, or give them money... same shitty people, really.
Carter Stewart
stop eating shit you fried with your clothes on. nothing's more disgusting than that....
is.... is this a real thing tho? Nigger eating horse pussy, or that's just a retarded nigger?
Joshua Walker
>we got dirty looks
no shit,im sure japanese people are tired of looking at 400 pound americans with their weeaboo bullshit on
i guess you can always fuck off and stay in your own shit hole country
Carson Bennett
People like OP that cannot fathom a different country having a different culture probably plays into Japan's general guardedness toward foreigners, if all the latter are ever going to do is talk shit because the host country didn't bend over backwards for them.

Im an American and I had an amazing time in Japan. Even hooked up there, OP is probably just a pos sub human, and or ugly. Just be polite and respect the culture, its not hard to be a good tourist.
Benjamin Richardson
are you white, they fucking hate niggers, and spics, and pretty much every body that isnt a jap or white.
I lived there for 8 years and it was so much better than America.

I'm not even japanese, I just live in a city. And if someone talked to me on the street I'd assume they were trying to scam me or sell me something or were some kind of weirdo. When you walk past 10k people a day its weird to say hi to them all. Do you seriously walk around saying "HI! Hi! Hi! Hi!" like some kid with Asperger's?
Jason Richardson
Sadly, I did. Only realized it was bait after noticing the guy said that talking to people on the street is socialism.
Adrian Smith
I go to Japan at least once a year. You were obviously rude and/or obnoxious. Get rekt'd user, please don't go back
Zachary Sanders
Any good advice user?
Jordan Barnes
I've never been to a another country and felt so welcomed and Japanese people are very polite. Some Japanese people suck in English, then I just point at the fucking menu, because I'm not retarded. I've visited Tokyo 3 times in all 6 for weeks, I can promise you I'll go back. Also Japanese people fucking love white people, and Japanese girl are so fucking tight. Aslo, what fucking retard goes to cinema in a foreign country on your vacation?
Noah Torres
Learn about the cultural differences before you visit.
Learn basic phrases, but if they do not understand, switch to English. Many Japanese understand English well enough, but are shy to speak it.
Learn that in almost all scenarios, being quiet/respectful is the #1 thing that matters. Restaurants, bars, cinemas, concerts. They have a strong aversion to other people inadvertently imposing themselves.
Make sure you are clean, smell good, and do not litter.
Do not take offense if they do not smile, it is rare for them to be expressive outside socially "acceptable" situations. For example, late nights, weekends, festivals.
Follow the pack. Do not cut in line. Do not push. Wait for everyone to exit a train before entering.
Say "thank you" and "excuse me" whenever it is appropriate. If you enjoy food, tell them.
Speaking of food, do not leave food behind. Eat it even if it really isn't your thing.
Be aware of the space you are taking up. Put bags on overhead racks, take them off your back. Try to travel light, especially during rush hours
your japanese is shit and you have extreme denial lmfao

Did the amount of vitriole and mental retardation just spiked during recent weeks?
Ryan Rodriguez
>My Japanese is pretty good >Knows kawaii, desu, and konnichiwa It takes many years of intense full time work to even be decent at japanese, and you would learn everything you complained about on the way. It's one of the hardest languages if not the hardest in the world and you're obviously not remotely good and extremely naive. Look up Dunning Kruger effect.
James Reed
You made good points, except the speaking thing, Japan is just below North Korea with hating foreigners and 100% believe that the waitress just was being an asshole to them.
Ryan Martinez
you're a spoiled child 100%

I had 3 years university level Japanese (marks near the top of my class) my first time there and could have basic conversations etc. It took me another year of study and several months living there before I was basically fluent, and a couple years before I got close to being able to hold the kind of convos I do in my native English.

No it’s not real you fucking 12 year old.
Y’all will believe anything about black people because you’ve clearly never met them. A real gripe about black people could be “extremely socially conservative” and “comically homophobic”.
The internet is making you dumber than the imaginary black people you’ve conjured up in your world view.

Lol I lived in Japan for a year.
You were probably just ugly or creepy looking.
The only issue I ever had with Japanese people was that they were afraid to speak English and make a mistake, and that they thought that because I was white I probably didn’t understand them, so they’d talk about me in Japanese with me right there.
That’s it.
Robert Davis
hey nigger, you weren't welcome
try going back there as a white person, its fucking great, also u can laugh i theators, they just fucng hate your brown ass fuck off stay out of my wifes country you nigger
