living in Japan and knowing Japanese doesn't make you weeaboo. Being white and thinking that 'Japan is superior' is weeaboo. or being OCD about anime and thinking that you know japanese cause you're vocabulary is made up of 3 words you learned from dragonball z and butchering them with english makes you weeaboo.

>> No.11256

why do you think Tokyo is actually Japan? It's a multicultural megacity. I live in Hirosaki, Aomori-ken aka right in the middle of nowhere. And it isn't like Tokyo at all.

>> No.11262

They are the most smug motherfuckers ever. They come here and act like the prince of the world. They hit on japanese women and think that they are successful, but in reality, japanese women are just brought up to always try to be nice and respectful so they wont shoot you down right away. I see weeaboos everyother day.

Toilets are awesome. Have all these cool functions and are heated in the winter. I haven's used the japanese style, because I dont shit in public toilets and mine is western.

I am white American. Sometimes I hear older people saying kind of demeaning things, but other than that you get the kakoiidesune stuff. I haven't had any problems yet, but Tokyo is pretty gaijin friendly.

>> No.11296

Toilets here are either from the future or the past. There is no middle ground.
You either get a heated seat with a bidet and differing water temperatures, or a urinal mounted into the ground which usually doesn't come with toilet paper.

They can understand British accents better, thats all I know abou their opinion.

Yes it is very expensive. But you can find cheap places... it isn't too bad, and jobs pay well enough to get buy just fine.

Everything is pretty much 1.5 or 2 times the price aside from electronics.
They look down on pretty much any race that isn't Japanese, and get angry when you tell them that they look Chinese or Korean. Racism keeps crime pretty low and keeps socialism working here though, so although I have some old people changing seats on the train to escape from me, I am happy knowing that I don't need to sit next to old people that smell like pickles and piss.

Well... I don't even know if I can name 10 in Tokyo... most 'sightseeing' would be temples in kyoto and stuff.

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Offices- can see all of tokyo from there.

Shinjuku- kabuki-cho - go there for the lulz of male whores

Shibuya- dressed up girls (for what? no idea) and tons of shopping

Akasaka- just a cool little places with some hidden temples

Roppongi- go here to get laid and get stds

Sunshine City- cool aquarium, tons of shopping, and NAMJATOWN (craziest theme park ever)

No idea. They probably lump you in with blacks though. And I don't really know their feelings about that, except that they are scary.

Oh, you know I'm just trollin nigga. Toshiaki doesn't hate black people, Obama's just been achieving minor meme status recently because of the story about how someone's going to assassinate him if he gets elected. "2chan" (futaba) is actually a whole lot friendlier than 4chan. 2ch on the other hand can be pretty nasty.
