Maybe I shouldn't have said, "a lot" but it did happen here and there in Tokyo. But then again, there were also a lot of people who were extremely helpful as well, especially when I attempted to speak their language.

I guess the point I was trying to make is that as a foreigner, you'll probably get looked down on at first. But if you make a whole-hearted attempt to speak the language and such, you'll get a lot further with the Japanese as a whole. They are quite shy to speak English and such.

I've lived here for two years now and on the whole I've found Tokyo to be in general "cooler" than most other places; maybe it's the concentration of business and professionalism. But it's kind of like saying the way everybody acts in New York is totally representative of the United States you know? It's just not true.

In my experience, if you try to speak Japanese (even if it's not the best), in general people in Japan tend to immediately respond positively to it. I've never once experienced the "You speak broken ----, you shouldn't even try." Never, never once. If you make an effort, people over here try to reciprocate that effort. In my experience.

I completely agree. I've only ever visited Tokyo (though I've been several times), and I've found the people there incredibly friendly and helpful. It does matter how you yourself behave, of course.

LOL.

The more Japanese you learn, the more they will resent you.

It's like an uncanny valley thing. When you're all KO-NEH-CHEE-WAH they think it's adorable, but so many people get disappointed and creeped out if you speak Japanese well.
