Japan sucks

Penis Festival

Been there a few years ago.

Nothing special at all.

There were nationalists everywhere, which sucked. On top of that most of the restaurants wouldn't let me in because I was white "no gaijin". To make things worse the same concept applies to hotels/inns making it really hard to travel to Japan in general. It doesn't matter though since the place was boring in general. All the temples look the same, cities are boring, and to top it off the girls are pretty hideous. I'm glad I made it a 1 week trip instead of 2. I had a 10 hour layover in S.Korea and well, the 10 hours I was there was fucking amazing, which can't be said about Japan.

I might study abroad. Australia or Nippon?

Fuck off, gook.

>>1741764
Australia. That way they will arrest you for having pornographic drawings that resemble children on your computer.

>>1741758
>I had a 10 hour layover in S.Korea and well, the 10 hours I was there was fucking amazing, which can't be said about Japan.
You spent 10 hours playing Starcraft there, didn't you?

>>1741769
What's not true about what he said? Japan isn't a good place to travel to.

>>1741773
Uhh, no. I went to a Mahnwa shop and read for a bit, ate some awesome food, and was treated well by the people I talked to. Their toilets had this awesome clean sink next to the toilet, and a local told me it's a face washing station. I don't know why they have a separate bowl/sink when I could have just used the regular one to wash my face.

ITT: butthurt fags

Studied abroad in Japan a few years ago, greatest experience of my life. People range from small-town curteous to big-city indifferent (just like any other city in the world).

The xenophobia is overhyped, just as long as you make an earnest effort to learn the language/culture (and don't fucking gaijin-smash everything). Otherwise you'll just end up butthurt like all the rejects who think colea is better.

HAHA OH WOW

I refuse to believe the "no gaijin" thing for hotels and restaurants. If it does exist, it can't be that widespread in big cities.
Why would they refuse perfectly good customers?

>>1741789
Jap spotted

>>1741793
Same reason you don't allow bums into nice restaurants.

>>1741793
Cause they're racist? It's a pretty easy concept to understand.

>>1741793
Because it doesnt exist

>>1741787
>>Their toilets had this awesome clean sink next to the toilet, and a local told me it's a face washing station.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA OH BOY you got TROLLED

>>1741789
Also, you should realize that prejudice against foreigners is just as "widespread" in Korea. The difference is if you go to Korea and tell everyone how much you think Japan sucks, Koreans will pretend to like you. You might get some free soju (crap compared to sake) or kimchi (crap compred to ramen/gyoza), so if that's what you want then by all means.

>>1741802
Yeah because businesses can afford to turn down customers based on personal preferences. Especially since hotels make money off tourists right?

>>1741802
Racist business owners in America are still going to offer their services to Mexicans and blacks as long as they pay. This is because they would not be able to compete with other businesses if they were closed to an entire demographic.
Pretty simple concept to understand.

Yes, I'm from this shit European country, okay.

Tell you what? Usanians lack the key element to understand Japan: the understanding of mono-culture. It just is not there in your shit states of america.

In my opinion Usa is far more bizarre and absurd than Japan. In Japan everything is founded on this ancient culture but in yankeeland all is just immigrated influences randomly mutated together. It's really like a festering cultural trash heap.

>>1741870
How's it feel living under the trash heap?

>>1741793
It's not widespread; it only occurs in a handful of places.

BUT
>>1741819
They deal with a lot more locals and native tourists than international ones, so it's really not as large a portion as you seem to think;

>>1741870
>It's really like a festering trash heap.

>>1741877
Under the trash heap? Look, I'm glad there is ocean in between. Also, whether you personally believe it or not due undereducation, Usa is not "the leader of the free world" or whatever crap you spout out.

>>1741772
You mean Australia, that way you can marry your 2d waifu.

>>1741893
Oh, undereducated, that's a good one.

What's that? The United States ranked higher than all other European nations that participated, except for England, in the acclaimed international Math and Science exams?

/raped

I think it's interesting that you can walk into a 7/11 in Japan and right next to the door there are a bunch of hardcore lolicon magazines that you can buy without anyone giving it a second thought. And that people openly read doujins and shit on the train.

>>1741909 Massachusetts performed strongest on the fourth-grade science exam
lol I admit it that is pretty strong statistic proof.

i was in the tokyo/narita airport for a few hours en route to china, and then en route to america.

it was cool, the chicks who worked there had hats with propellers on them. i bought some pokemon cards (i was little), and some food, then played my gameboy till my flight came in.

>By contrast, the United States as a whole placed eleventh with a score that researchers characterized as significantly lower than Massachusetts.
Then again, if you actually read the article...

>>1741943
Yeah, if you actually looked at the fucking provided graph, the only Euro nation that was above the US was England as I have already stated.

>>1741793
Because gaijin tourists (especially russians) drive away regular customers and break stuff with their rowdy, dishonorable conduct and loud, brash English-speaking.

I find it so funny that people like this hang around on this board just to post about their glorious corea. Maybe you should go to the /corea/ board? Oh right there isn't any, because no one gives a fuck about corea.

>>1741838
Japan is literally 99% Japanese. I think they can live without serving the other 1%.

>>1741931
No. No matter where you are, people will think you're weird for openly buying porn. And yes, salarymen sometimes look at porn on the train, but no one says anything because they don't want to disturb the peace. Japan is not topsy-turvy land.

>>1741989
It's funny that so many people have been brainwashed to think that Japan actually matters more than Korea.

>>1742000

Enjoy being second place to Japan in everything.

>>1741967
The one that states the the study was conducted by american university, 13 countries did not participiate and the results are not universally accurate?

Also, WHOOO your the 11th best in the world in FOURTH GRADE MATHS! Good going.

>>1741893
Nope, we're not. Clean up your own shit, faggots. We do like reasons to expand our weapons testing though.

>>1742010
America generally has decent to good education of young children coupled with poor to useless Further and Higher education.

>>1741735
In Japan, you can't buy any coldsore medication over the counter. It's considered a prescription drug for herpes! So if you are prone to coldsores, bring your own meds for it just incase.

I like how all the wars on the planet are being waged on the other side of the planet. Lazy eurotrash, get off your worthless asses and clean up your damn neighborhood.

>>1741870
>In my opinion Usa is far more bizarre

What's the matter, too MULTICULTURAL for you?

Japan and the US actually have something big in common: They export a lot of media. This naturally gives them a larger global profile and a larger presence in first-world citizen's daily lives.

It's not necessarily that they're more important; just more entertaining.

>>1742017
>America generally has decent to good education
stopped reading there.

>>1741999
Well if I can read my loli doujin on the train in Japan without anyone saying anything it's a damn sight better than reading loli on my computer in Australia and getting thrown in prison for possession of CP. Japan pretty much is topsy-turvy land compared to here.

>>1742040
Talke all your fancy logic and get out; we don't work that way here

How does feel to be a third world country, USA?

>>1742091
lol

>>1741893
>not the leader of the free world
wat

>>1742091
Czecho is a first-world country?

I like coming to /jp/ to get verbally gang-banged by foreigners :3

>>1742041
If you read the whole sentence you would discover I am not defending American education.

>>1742156
pretty sure that's his point.

>>1742091
How does it feel to not understand what "Third world" means?

>>1742091
Even us Amerikkkans realize that our country is filled with idiots. It's not breaking news or anything.

USA #1

>>1742040
>Japan ... export a lot of media.
Haha, no. There is a sizable weeaboo subculture, hated by all and centered mainly on theft (fansubs), this does not mean that the average person consumes more media from Japan than from say France or Bolivia.

>>1742176
Well, in terms of schooling and general intelligence, I'd say that you're pretty close to the third world average for a first world country.

I mean, undoubtedly you're signicantly left-behind in comparison to Europe.

Japan is a good country. I am a japanese person.

America thread?

>>1742202
>this does not mean that the average person consumes more media from Japan than from say France or Bolivia.
Yes they do. Japanese video games are popular even outside of the weeaboo crowd.

>>1742224
HAI I'm black. wanna chat?

>>1742212
It's a good thing Universities in the United States DOMINATE the top world rankings, compared to Eurofail.

Harvard? Stanford? MIT? Yale? Berkley? Yup, all in America with 80% Americans attending these schools.

>>1742202
It's actually broader than "weeaboo subculture," unless your definition of weeaboo means "interested in Japan in any way," which isn't particularly reviled at all.

>>1742244
They are top in the rankings because of the way rankings are determined. Good research, yes. Good teaching? Far from it.

>>1742261

That's true for any research based school, however.

>>1742261
>>i'm a little faggot

Yes, we know that. Now cry moar knowing that the United States has the best Universities in every subject and field.

>>1742244
too bad they're all communists

The thing I will always miss in Japan isn't easy public transit, multitudes of hobby shops, all-night bars and clubs, or even the fact that most girls love wearing skirts. It's the widespread availability of great, affordable food.

Tonkatsu, ramen, unagi, gyuudon, tempura, sukiyaki, curry, onigiri, and not to mention sushi. If you look around, you can always find a delicious, healthy, filling mood for 500 to 1000 yen.

Also: All you can eat and drink restaurants/beer gardens. Jesus Christ, splurge 3000 yen and you can spend hours just sitting and talking with friends while eating all the sukiyaki/yakiniku/okonomiyaki/etc. and alcohol you can put down.

As long as you aren't a strict vegan, Japan is a foodie paradise.

>>1742091
Greece is below the US? What the hell happened guys, you used to be the center of education in the ancient world!

>>1742281
The why is a degree from an American University counted as so much less when applying for postgraduate study almost anywhere in Europe? I'll leave you with that to ponder.

>>1742327
Who the fuck with an Undergraduate degree would apply to a Euro University when the top schools for post-graduate studies are in the United States? Seriously, think dumbass.

Why is Tokyo U one of the hardest Universities to get into, yet ranks lower than MIT?

>>1742327
>in Europe

Because Europeans have some of superiority complex which causes them to think that they are smarter than everyone else and bash America all of the time.

I've always found it funny how Europeans concern themselves with the US so much and feel the need to insult the people here, but no one in America gives a fuck about Europe, anything Europe does, or the opinions of the people there.

>>1742371
Inferiority complex, similar to how Koreans make it a national purpose to bitch about Japan while the Japanese couldn't give a fuck.

Notice how the Americans here are getting angry, obviously the sign of insecurity and defensive worry about the nature of what has been insulted, while the sole eurofag remains calm in the knowledge he lives somewhere better.

Suck it, America.

>>1742415
>suck it, America

We've been getting this attitude from the whole world for about 6 or 7 years now, we get pretty fucking tired of it.

>>1741893
FUCKING A
I kept reading that as oohsa. USA stands for the United States of America. Capitalize all of the letters or just write America. Shit.

>>1742415
Calmness can also be related to delusion and mental conditioning against anything related to facts.

Thread should have ended here.

lol im bashing amerikkka ami popular yet gaiz?!XD

>>1742415
I know your post is trap. I can depict the irony of your post. You posting this is my proof of your irony.

>>1742371
You think this is a good thing? Every other culturally imperialistic society in history has always failed. Enjoy your slow decline.

>>1742458
>I can depict the irony of your post
>depict

That word does not mean what you think it means, or you're practicing some kind of Dadaist experiment.

>>1742473
People only adopt American things because they are better. Even if we do fail popular culture will still be dominated by the remnants of ours. Enjoy your perpetual American influence.

>>People only adopt American things because they are better

You fail at understanding economic influence.

>>1742508
you're the ones that bought our shit

Nationalism is fucking stupid no matter where you live. The only accomplishments you have the right to be proud of are those that you achieved yourself.

>>1742521
This.

>>1742495

Except for cars. American cars suck more than those made by the British.

better than USA and Japan and all of Europe

>People only adopt American things because they are better
Biggest load of bullcrap I've ever heard. USA does have cultural effect because it produces so much media and because people usually have at least some kind of relationship with the country due immigration.

Then again, americanisation of European culture is the worst imaginable thing that could happen. Gladly the formation of EU has prevented it for the most part.

By the way,
America = continent consisted of both South-America and North-America. Or alternatively Americas.
USA = United States of America. A country in North-America.
USA =/= America

>>1742542
Nevermind what I said earlier, Canadians have a greater inferiority complex than Korea and Europe. Whenever the USA is mentioned, some Canadafag will ALWAYS say some stupid shit.

Have fun with your failing government process.

>>1742473
We don't have an empire. The only reason we are in this stupid fucking war is because of post attack rage. England is doing fine despite the fact that they should have failed after attempted to create an empire.
