Re: Dumb shit your classmates/friends/coworkers say?

[brightblueink]

I heard once in a sociology class that in Japan they had a really popular book back in the...80s, I think? That theorized, in all seriousness, that the Japanese brain was "special" which is why Japanese was so impossible for people from other countries to learn, and why Japanese people struggled with other languages as well.

This was told to me from my teacher in that class, who lived in Japan for a long time and even married a woman from Japan. Apparently they got really, really freaked out when he talked to them in Japanese and they realized he was actually very good at it. When he was moving out of Japan and trying to find a hotel to stay at he got into a long argument with the people at the hotel because they thought he wouldn't know how to bathe Japanese-style properly and would taint the bath. His wife had to get on the phone and assure them that he'd lived in Japan for years and knew how to take a bath. (I think they must've had a communal bath or something, that's the only way this story makes sense to me...)

So...yeah, I can kinda see someone from Japan getting freaked out by someone from another country eating natto, particularly since I think quite a few Japanese people don't like natto either.

That thing about the baths... I went to Japan for a vacation once, but was terrified of going to an onsen. I felt too dirty to bathe in a possibly unclorinated bath with other people when I never feel clean enough taking a bath already. I mean, just exactly what is the difference between scrubbing the hell out of yourself in Japan or in America? (aside from, I guess, their perception that we might not put the effort in? IDK) I just never tried it, for that feeling of inadequacy, and because I've never really been naked in front of others. Aren't they against pubic hair too or is that just a TV thing?

A) you wash up BEFORE you get into the onsen. There's always some sort of shower area before the baths. Then you just relax in the warm water. There are plenty of bathing guides you can find online. B) the pubic hair thing is a censorship in media thing, not a body image thing.
