Ok, this is the owner of this blog’s thoughts and his thought process:
“Hey look at me!!! I’ve lived in Japan a long time, ohhh all these noobies and tourists for some reason frustrate me/make me angry/I want them to go away. I need an outlet to both stick my nose up at them, mock them, but also provide cover so if I’m confronted I can deny I’m being a smart a$$. Oh I know, I’ll make a common mistakes guide in Japan and indirectly make fun of/mock foreigners in Japan. Yay, I’m one of the witty ones!! I’m a special foreigner in Japan and now I feel good about myself!”
End of his thought process

Now my thoughts on the author: Why didn’t he just make a common mistakes guide in Japan and leave out the stupid foreigner part. It’s not witty. It’s snarky. You don’t help anyone, nor promote your sight. You just promote flame wars by doing this. It doesn’t make the story more interesting to be passively rude to people. Oh wait, shocker this guy is wearing thick rimmed black glasses!! Woot, another foreigner who wants to show intelligence he doesn’t have by wearing big black rim glasses so he can look smart, because he doesn’t actually have a strong educational background or work experience to back it up. Another one of these baka na gaijin that come here, live for 1-2 years, pick up Japanese, and become masters of Japan in their own minds and hold their nose up at other foreigners, he’s so witty!!. Actually hes a dime a dozen flunky who failed in his home country, and now has come to Japan, studies some Japanese, and feels a bit less like a scrub, and now feels the desire to passively mock people who don’t have that tiny bit of knowledge that he has finally acquired.
Good job, well now try to turn it into something useful in the real world loser!

No, he IS talking about foreigners. Baka gaijin means stupid foreigner. This website is making fun of foreigners. It’s quite obvious. Don’t try to deny that. I don’t care what roundabout logic you want to use to defend the author, this site is mocking foreigners in Japan.
The author has probably lived in Japan a while and wanted a witty way to make fun of noobies in Japan. Mission accomplished, though this isn’t very witty. It’s satirical, but its about foreigners in Japan, so please don’t insult our intelligence by saying its not.

Haha, funny… and true.

I remember receiving a call in the underground. A Japanese friend was accompanying me; he waited to the end of the call (polite as ever) and then mentioned:

‘Look at the signs here. You really shouldn’t use your mobile for talking here…’
Me: ‘Is that very annoying for Japanese people?’
He: ‘Usually it is ignored when done by a gaijin. But you did it on a priority seat…’

Yeah, yeah, the next time I ignored the vibration of a call… ;)

6000 islands? What you call islands I call rocks and boulders just a wee bit above the water. ISLANDS and rocks are two different things. When I look on detailed maps of Japan, what do I see? Four islands smaller than my state. And that’s supposedly a country of 127 million people.
