being the epitome of all that is cool. You have been labeled a dork,
a fashion no no back at home. And with the Japanese here what you
could do or wear or say it would be considered the coolest thing in the
world. Mind you I am talking more so about a specific age group. From
about fifteen to about thirty. The older people just kinda look at you
very wary. I don't know whether that they just don't like foreigners
or maybe I look more foreigner than the average blond hair blue eyed
"foreigner."
But back to the kids. I still can't get over the immediate star status
I had the other night. They knew nothing about me. I don't even look
like a star back at home. Didn't matter. All they saw was a bunch of
foreigners ordering anything they wanted (remember all you can drink-
we really need to pick this up back at home and just beer either).
When my friend Brian went over, they went extra crazy. He looks like
an athlete plus he has tattoos in his chest. A winning exchange this far.
I just find the whole thing. . . astounding. Maybe it's my law school
mind trying to piece together why it is the way it is. Are we like
that back at home. My immediate answer is no. We don't assume that
people buying anything they want have celeb status. We just assume
that they got money like that. Or do we?
