I'm sorry, vissario, I think I used too many big words. What I should have asked was; "Have you ever been to Japan or had a conversation with a real live Japanese person?" Allow me to recount last night's festivities...
Around 11:30pm I hopped on a bike and went down to a local bar my friend had reccomended to me. When I got there, this is what I saw: A Japanese bartender, four Japanese patrons, one American (not including myself), one British, two Austrailian, and a Korean. How do I know their nationalities? I talked to all of them, and they were all very kind. We sat there for hours drinking and talking, exchanging stories and even talking socal politics. It was a blast. And then I got to drink absenth. Ho-ly god. Almost twelve hours later and I still feel a bit fucked up.
Bar time was 2am, but the bartender let us stick around until 4am or so just talking, then he busted out some shumai. Mmm...I loves me some shumai. I exchanged contact information with some of the remaining patrons, one of which swore he was going to try to get me laid, dispite the fact I told him I had a girlfriend at home whom I love very much.
Getting back to the hotel was quite the adventure. Drunken cycling in a strange city always is. It should have been a quick 10 minute ride, but it turned into an hour. Had to stop and ask for directions twice. Again, the people I stopped to asked spoke little to no English, yet were very helpful. The only reason I had to stop twice was because I was a drunken idiot.
I might as well take a moment to construct a point or two, even though I know vissario will simply ignore them and pull something else out of his mother's lower intestines and put in on display for all of us to see.

Hollywood much?

From the fact that they hate foreigners, impose huge tariffs on foreign goods, hate any liberal ideas (aside from capitalism) corrupting their nice, fascist state, and, oh yes, they still think China was the one who invaded them. Really, they are great people once you get past the fact that they really think you (and your culture) are trash. 
All you did was re-hash your point of view. The question was where did you get this information. Silly question, I know.

Ah, so that is why they set up so many immigration restrictions! They are an inclusive, accepting people!
Simply walking into the country got me a three month tourist visa. If I wanted to stay longer, all I'd need to do is get a job and I'd get a work visa. The days of Japan having it's doors closed to forigners are long gone. :up:
Now then, if you could just re-state all the trite bullshit you've given us thus far, that would be great. I'd hate for you to go and suprise everyone with a well thought out response that was based in our current reality.
P.S. Whoever disabled the thumbs up and thumbs down emotes, fuck you, bring them back.
An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.
