Let's go ask Japanese about foreigners
Think of a person abroad that you remembered
The person looked very foreign
but spoke perfect Japanese
That was amazing
Where was that person?
The person was lost in the train where to get off
When I approached,
the person spoke fluent Japanese, and I was surprised
I was the one who felt sorry
Are you lost? "Can I help you?"
All the replies were in Japanese
The person wasn't lost?
I guess the person just came here so couldn't tell the stations,
but spoke to me in Japanese
so were you able to help?
Oh yes
I told the person to change the train here
but was really good at Japanese
Oh it was very nice of you to tell direction to a lost person
The person who came to take a photo with me when I wore a Kimono
You were wearing Kimono?
What event? Coming of mature day?
There was a Kimono rental store in Asakusa so I borrowed
and walked
A person abroad asked me whether photo was ok
and took a picture together
Very easy going
That matches so well with Asakusa
Many tourists?
Yes
-Sneak peak photos as well? -Oh yes
Quite a lot
Of course
My grandfather is Korean
He took me to a restaurant where a VIP of Korea often goes
He was suppose to be quite high ranked, but
a normal person
He paid for all our food
and the taxi home as well
I wanted to be that kind of guy
Very kind
Real VIP?
You are VIP?
No, I'm poor
I'm normal, but the person was VIP
The grandfather was the head of the village
and had the connection
How did the person look like?
Just a normal middle aged guy
He didn't seem that way at all,
but I found later that he was VIP
I didn't feel any. No aura either
Ate with a VIP but didn't notice? -Yes
There was Shibuya Halloween before
and people were having quite a fun
but there was a real sad looking foreigner who was sitting. She was really cute
When I talked to her
her friends were gone and was lost
So I looked for them together
So kind
I was bored, too
And I was thanked so much and got a peck on the cheek
You saved a lone lost girl
Yes, it was by accident
Really cute
Where were the friends? How did you find them?
Well, I gathered all the information together like where they were last
The friends were in costume
Finally found them in Don Quijote
Was conversation in English?
The girl didn't speak much English
She spoke broken Japanese, I spoke broken English
It was mostly done in gesture
I was shown the screen on smartphone for location
That sounds like a adventure of Shibuya Halloween
It was by accident
It may become an episode of a drama
How long did it take?
It only took about 30 minutes or so
30 minutes is quite long
I was bored so just to kill time, it was good
That's really nice and you got a peck on the cheek. How nice
She was really cute so I want to meet her again some day
Contacts?
My mind wasn't working
so that was not done
If you are watching, please contact
I was with my mother near Yoyogi park
in some kind of festival
A foreigner was trying to pick up my mom
He was trying to talk so much
Which country?
I'm not sure. A black guy
"Hey girl, let's go eat"
That's quite memorable. In what language?
In Japanese
How did mom react? Confused?
She just said she had to go
She declined
That's quite cool of her to decline
She avoided him
I was shocked right by her
How old did mom seem to him?
To me, she looks like her age
We went on a school trip to Asakusa in junior high
When we were taking a group photo of whole school
Right by the camera man, a normal Chinese guy stood and
was taking tons of photo
Speed photo
He came along and took many photos
Why was he there?
Total stranger?
Total stranger
Just a guy who wants to take everybody's photo
I was surprised with the continuous photo
What is that?
Did the teacher say anything?
"Just ignore and walk"
Everybody was cute
That's good
The teacher in elementary school is quite memorable
What kind of person?
She was a lady
Came to Japan for the first time
and taught us English to us in elementary school
Looked like Angela Aki
Looked like a celebrity?
She was cute
I really wanted to be like her
So cute
Why was she fun? Did she do fun games?
She liked edamame
and talked about edamame all the time
She said her favorite Japanese food is Edamame
She ate Edamame besides the served school food
"I'm not good at raw fish like Sushi"
"but I can eat Edamame"
and kept on eating it
That's sounds quite dandy
Edamame and...other beans she was eating.Like Natto
Very healthy
I will go on a diet with that
Edamame diet
Her best friend is from abroad
Where is your friend from?
Thai
Do you learn something from her country or any funny stories?
She sent me some pictures
I felt it was really different from Japanese cultures
For example?
Buddhism?
So she shows you pictures abroad?
When I was in Canada
I was doing daily shopping and wanted buy a snack
and went shopping alone
and was lining up
but the person in front of me had many things and will take time so let me go first
Not so much in Japan?
Not in Japan
Keep the line
I was sleeping in the train the other day
I was tapped a few times
A foreigner told me I had dropped my phone
And I said thank you. Very kind
You dropped your phone while you were asleep?
A man?
Good looking?
Good looking
So lucky
In what language?
Oh nothing. Just got tapped
and was pointed to the phone so didn't talk about anything
In Anime scenario, a romance will start from here
That is true
but the guy got off quick so
That's reality
Something I really envy about
People abroad shows affection on the street a lot
The couples.
Japanese people tend to think that's embarrassing
so I envy that
How do you feel?
I feel happy
Is that ok?
That's all the questions. Thank you very much
So Japanese people on foreigners remember their good and random examples
that we had here
Any particular foreigner you remember from your time abroad
or maybe in your country
Let me know. I remember there was a very nice family from India
that took me and my Japanese friend in
cooked for us and even dressed us in a sally
It was a lovely experience
I'm really glad they shared the culture with me
On that note, let me know the foreigner you remember on the comment down below
