Observations

I was thinking about that crazy guy I met on the train. You know the one that I said talked about how he really wanted his wife to get a boob job? Have I talked about that? Well anyway... here's the thing I wanted to point out...

I was thinking about how he pointed to me and went (In Japanese of course) "Oh, a foreigner! Hi! Hello! My name is...." And today I realised that while this seems to be normal ("normal") in Japan and everyone who comes here is usually prepared for such things that this would never happen in Canada. Like I am pretty certain that no one who walk up to a Japanese person and go "Oh wow! A Japanese person! Konnichiwa! Ohayo! Sayonara! " If you did do that you'd probably be stared at by everyone else around you as they slowly back away. Haha that's a bit extreme but they'd definitely think that you were weird. I don't know if that's to do with the multiculturalism that Canada has or if it's just the culture. I'd like to think it's the former, though.
