I wouldn’t be able to translate this just by looking it and it looks like someone just typed in English and put it into a Japanese google translator just by visually looking at it. If you don’t want to learn Japanese because of how difficult it is to learn there are some Japanese language learning video games that are going to come out later this year. If you don’t want to learn it as you feel like it’s been shoved down your throat (that’s how I feel with Spanish) and you are living in Japan then you’ll want to move back to the States or wherever you feel you will be happy living in.

Care to translate that? I don't speak Japanese (strange as that may seem) I was born in the States as were my parents but I resisted being expected to learn Japanese. I was in Tokyo in 2009 on a work-related trip... The sightseeing was nice, but I am loath to go back there. Crowded and crazy as fuck.

As for other posts about Japanese people and minorities/foreigners.. A cursory look at Japanese history will reveal they were especially adept at believing Japan to be a cut above all the rest of the "barbarians"-- including those like me, all Japanese blood but born outside of that country so I am gai jin. "Foreign Devil".
This 'tude may be less than it had been over the centuries in metropolitan places like Tokyo, but in general, going there is the next best thing to visiting another world. it's exactly that different.
