You'd probably be treated well if you got on with some people AND spoke fluent Japanese but you'd always be a 'gaijin' foreigner. Or the next big exception is if you played a huge part in the community say if you were famous like a celebrity or musician etc. MAYBE then you might but even still best to find community where you come from. Or accept that society today does not in anyway promote community ethics.



This is actually spot on. I will not be getting the same treatment Ryo does. The Japanese typically are not going to be rude, but you will never be fully accepted and I have come to live with it.

I got a T47902. It's not exactly the same watch, but it's pretty damn close. Too bad it doesn't have the compass. I'd have liked that feature, but the T43371 is pretty much unfindable.

I know it might be a bit odd, but I would love to have a replica of the sword of seven stars and the Hazuki sword handguard

I want that pond, but more importantly I want that wooden thing that makes that noise when it fills with water. That crisp "pop" it makes when it dispenses the water and levers back. Such an awesome sound that makes it hard for trying to think of the Hazuki Residence theme music without it.

That device is called "Shishi-odoshi."

Until you don't have a beautiful garden in your house, the only place you can put this is on the toilet.

Thanks for the information about that device, Kiyuu! Never knew it was used to scare away animals.
