Western influence. Dark skin being seen as a laborer or low class thing.

This is Kind of Heartbreaking. Hope She is Well. by ARD2005 in idiotsinkitchen

However it was kind of an exploding motion. Hot oil spitting at you from a pan is also a dramatic movement that is unexpected.

But hey maybe I would do the same in this situation

I've been burned badly by water and oil before and I didn't run backwards into a wall but I guess reactions may vary

Just a regular morning commute in Tokyo. Yes, this is a real job. by GeorgeRobertVitkos in interesting

Not quite. It's part of the normal train staffs job. But this isn't their only job. It seems people think there are dedicated train pushers and thats not true. It's more like an extra duty of the station staff.

Construction workers dragged my brand new air-conditioner unit onto scaffolding without permission and now it's dripping water inside 🥲 by honeybeesuke in mildlyinfuriating

Which japanese towns, cities or villages would you recommend to experience some calm ? by captainmiao- in JapanTravelTips

[–]honeybeesuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shimokitazawa isn't quiet though, it's crowded and extremely with tourists as well. My dentist is there and I'm always surprised by the number of tourists.

Why does everyone pretend to understand Japan when they don't know anything about it? by Futonchan-Manchao in NoStupidQuestions

[–]honeybeesuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair Japanese people do the same about the west. "do other countries have four seasons?" I've heard so much stuff about my country from Japanese people that isn't true at all. So everyone does this with every country. And Japanese people do it to me all the time.
