*big hugs to you* Your secret made me smile, not because I enjoy seeing secrets filled with rage, but because damned if every single ex-pat I know hasn't felt the same way at some point. The xenophobia and misogyny are what gets to me the most- for those who say "OMG, AMERICA IS THE SAME", trust me, it's not. Japan is like living in 1950s America, but with more cultually accepted racisim (Japan is still in the "racism makes for great tv comedy!" phase of entertainment development). It's got to be doubly hard if it gets out that you're a geek- Japan is not kind to the different.

Still, I can't hate it. I actually love the fact that women here are free to be as girly as they like (though I understand it comes at the awful price of not really being allowed to be anything else, which bites). I like that it's safe, and that people are societally concious- I once left my purse on a bench in a city subway station, and nothing was taken. I love that the Japanese don't bitch and whine and sue when things are hard or stupid can't-be'helped stuff happens.

I don't think I'm going to live here forever- I know I'll never be fully accepted by society. But I'm going to enjoy it for now (even though yes, I do still have my "oh my god, this is a failed experiment in humanity, bring on the bombs D:" days.
