The Nippons

Generally, Tim, the Japanese are very friendly and helpful.

However, in Tokyo, things are (generally) not in English so you're kinda lost in a lot of restaurants and have to resort to pointing at pictures (or sample dishes), so get laughed at, which is quite embarrassing.

And the 'Salary Men' generally think they're superior to everyone, foreigners included, but especially women (who don't seem to mind).

It's quite easy to ignore though. They're the real wage slaves, where we're, well, erm, not that bothered.
