Ahahahaha, so cute...go the camembert chu!

hmm, kruger, beer baron and wally all share remarkable resemblances..

Hi mai names Wally, can ye find mah?

Laurence is easy to understand on why he likes japan so much. He likes donating money to the good folk at the Osaka metro police department. Oh..and he likes japanese cheese. especially brie, lol. Its not going to go on like this again is it Laurence?

not true Akeenan. I originally said that its not only what expats are experiencing but also what others who are planning to come or have been here and to share the experiences. I think i clarified that, no? And come on. I would like to hear from you as well mate..you are an expat and all. excerpt from my original post..."To those of you who dont, and are here still, have been here and would like to comment, want to come here and see it for yourself, please do go on and leave a post. Id love to discuss what makes Japan so damn fascinating." Come on boys and girls..spill the beans. Im going over to the 99 yen store to grab a few cans of Kirin lager.

Ohhhhh, its Hugo Boss so that makes it alright then! No. It doesnt and yes it DOES look exactly like freddies top.

Top comment.

GTST, Im at a complete loss as to how you could type out a post about Japanese having small penises and the female variety being skinny f**ks and how you could cram a lot of them into Japanese cars because they are made for them and then turn around after having been warned and say it was all a big joke and there was no racist intent?? Get real dude. It wasnt funny AT ALL and your words did not indicate to me one bit that you were joking. Now strap yourself into the passenger seat of this thing and promptly shit yourself twice for being such a dick.

Thats rubbish Roy. An Evo and an Sti being a dog from 120 to 240 is a ridiculous statement. You try telling me that this evo going from 0 to 200 mph and back to 0 in 20 seconds flat isnt impressive. And yes i understand its a fully sik and hektik worked off its tits version bra.

HA! Thats incredible. So going by that logic, if i were to drift alone on a quiet mountain road, its okay! "The Japanese dont even understand their own people"..priceless. You mean to tell me they were more con concerned about the group doing it over the individual? Here i was thinking the Japanese mentality was that the group comes first, the individual second...your story throws that out the window.

What was it that you had to make this apology for and that you regarded as frivolous? Drifting in front of a cop wouldnt be deemed as trivial, Laurence! Yeah, the language barrier has been interesting. The minute i open my mouth and speak a word of Japanese i get the inevitable " AHH! nihongo wa jyozu des ne?!" drives me nuts.

If it was out of date why is it still applicable? He who is without sin cast the first stone, Justin. The Gaijin "image"? Thats a topic all in itself. Seeing as you have already formed your opinion, please enlighten me as to what that image is. I think some people were a little embarrassed along with myself that night, yeah...that much i can say but a good time was had by all. My night was capped off by meeting someone who happened to own an R35. Right place, right time for me, wouldn't you say? Advertising...hmm. Its up to the individual to make of it what they want. Ive seen people do worse than that, much worse in fact and what happened that night was impromptu and laughable. No one got hurt and it was aimed at noone in particular. Again, im not talking about people who are out having a good time and in general keep to themselves with the occasional outburst. Like i said, there are people here who seek nothing more than to use and abuse the Japanese for anything and everything they can get. Go to Roppongi on any weekend and you will see what i mean. And please, spare me the "willing party" line. The Japanese have enough of their own problems to deal with without other nations and their people coming in here and taking whatever they can get. You know...you would have liked that party i reckon. Seriously, why don't you join us next time or is someone going to advise you against it with warnings against socializing with people the likes of myself and my friends? The "He said, She said" line is what is really outdated here and writing people off based on that is deplorable.

The top has got to go. Is that a disposable camera? I could have sworn you were cranking at a wheel on the thing...

Yes indeed, that was a crazy night. I make no excuses for the way a couple of my friends behaved. Disgracefully as a matter of point. I'm sitting there and wondering where the line was going to be drawn. Nobody knew. The people i am talking about have a sinister edge to their motives. What transpired that night was sheer drunken debauchery. Would you be one to claim to never having had experiences of that magnitude, Justin? I suppose you would also, in the same response, denounce a person Japanese or foreign, urinating in the street or vomiting in Shinjuku station, if indeed your perspective was to be adopted? I don't condone that sort of behaviour and i certainly didn't anticipate it happening but i have to admit some things that happened were very funny and the Japanese sitting at some adjacent tables thought it was a riot too. Admittedly, not everyone thought it was funny. I will point out that we sometimes take advantage of the social liberalism inherent here and sometimes people cross the line. I suppose you have never done that, right? The person i mentioned who exposed himself is actually a warmhearted guy who happens to be in a difficult situation but it would be poor form for any of his friends, including myself to judge him for his actions.

That's true but there were a few "mitigating circumstances", shall i put it, related to that, weren't there, Justin? Well then...you "know of" an aussie who feels that way...

whats WRONG with a thread like that Akeenan? I will agree on two points that both Richard and Rezz pointed out and one is that people who come here need to adopt a foreign perspective when living here. This goes a long way toward a sense of integration in this society and will more than likely influence the length of stay. Coming here and being unwilling to change, ignorant to ones own social standing and attitude just leads to problems. When in Rome, as they say... Secondly, ive heard those stories of jaded gaijin countless times. Just go and check out Gaijinpot.com and you'll see what i mean. A large portion of cynical, self-doubting and jaded individuals who have become disillusioned with their lives here. Pity them. On that note, i agree for some, there will be a point when things and the individual in question, need to "move on" as you will. Personally, i am growing here at a decent rate and I'm satisfied with my life and the people i surround myself with and there is absolutely no need to change that. As an aside, there are some here in Japan that shouldn't and don't deserve to be here because they only serve to ingratiate themselves to no one else but themselves, some that i would prefer to be somewhere very far away from here because they contribute nothing to the society and are a source of trouble and disgrace for their nationalities and their home countries. Self absorbed, arrogant and conceited foreigners in this country make my stomach churn. Add money and you have an abomination. You would think that being here would change a person but some are too stubborn or deep seeded in their ignorance to notice anything. Inevitably, those particular individuals will get a lot less out of the country because they put a lot less into it. Im a firm believer of the words, " You treat others as you would have them treat you" and suffice to say, things have been unsurprisingly pleasant with that adopted mantra.

Well...you just met your first Aussie who does.

garbage? where..? sorry, no garbage here..here, theres no garbage.

Water under the bridge as they say, Nick. Yep, Sewid and I had a bit of a chat about that...in hindsight, I guess i was a little TOO jealous.. Having said that, i am looking forward to Monday. I've driven and been in some incredibly fast cars so I'm anticipating something special from Nissan's finest. Yeah, had to throw in a cheeky, having been grilled on thread placement and what-not... Ill post it in here when the results come in.

Yeah, i told him i didnt believe him>? pics posted, yours truly humbled, case closed/_/ What the hell is your major malfunction anyway, Nick?

You can have mine if you want it, beers on you next time youre in town. I can easily get another copy. Pm me some deets. Perhaps nick could have helped you out too, except he binned his copy.

Trying? Hes actually succeeding.

Or Ferraris. Now if the car was handbuilt, and i mean completely handbuilt, i wouldnt want ANYONE messing with anything.

Yep and throw a scantily clad woman into the mix and youve got mayhem stampede.

Im sorry? You wouldnt be insinuating I'm homosexual by any chance now would you? Far be it for someone the caliber of an upstanding man such as yourself, right? Actually, i quite fancy you nickyboy. あほ。
