On this tricentennial post, may I once again remind everyone to not feed the trolls? Have a good day.
Hi Glen. How are you? Do you call yourself "Glenski" because you have Polish ancestry or do you just think it "sounds catchy"?
I was just wondering what you would call someone who engages foreign coworkers in conversation and encourages them to tell him about their frustrations, dissatisfaction and etc in their work and then report what they say to management? Do you still do that?
BTW You are aware of how intensely almost all the foreigners who know you dislike you, aren't you?
And if I may engage in a little amateur psychology..... If you don't want anyone to reply to me why do you yourself reply to me but them delete my quote? I think you crave my attention but don't want anyone else to notice it. Sorry to disappoint you but I have to tell you I am 100% heterosexual and even if I weren't, I intensely dislike you anyway!:wave:
Looks like Glenski made a friend!
Reyter you don't have to be so coy, we all can tell you have a thing for Glenski :cracker::love::rose:
Let us all try to do our flirting in PMs and stick to the topic now, shall we?
Oh look , its Reyter, where idiocy has no bounds... I still see you are crying like a 6 year old girl, ah well ,seems like nothing has changed.

Hmmmmm You are another I said i would ignore from now but I can't help it LOL:D
I am so flattered you would go to the trouble of editing an image just for me but on a darker note, I really pity that you haven't been able to find a decent job yet. I mean, I know you aren't too bright but can't you even get a job as a cleaner or something like that? Surely it's better than trawling through discussion boards and editing flippant images, isn't it?
Looks like Dave has a friend, too!
Mikawa, I have two friends now, I am so lucky. LOL

I lived there for 1.5 years or so and yes I experienced discrimination when I first arrived, not because I was a 'foreigner' but because I had a small tattoo of the sun on my arm. I learned that many Japanese people have an aversion to tattoos (as well as the sun!), so it must have threatened them. I was banned from both the local onsen ( actually kicked out when they saw the tattoo) and from a swimming pool.
I spent the rest of my stay working and painting (thank god I brought my computer), also trying to find either a clean beach to sit on or a quiet place to walk where I could listen to the birds. Never really found any of these as they didn't really exist where I was living. Other than that, I was almost stopped by the police on my bicycle once for racing through a light as it was changing (fair enough!) and was also sexually harassed several times by Japanese men who got the urge to masturbate when they saw me. Never really figured out why they insisted on doing that in public. I wasn't sure if they're just sexually repressed or if they did it because I was a foreigner.
After these experiences I tended to avoid people as much as possible, and got out of the country as soon as I could, however I met some really lovely people there and learned a lot about the culture, primarily from my students.
