or sometimes i give them that look that the rural french give you if you dare to speak thier language with anything other than perfect accent. (even though i am insisting that they address me in english)
also it can be usefull, when you are white, and in another country and get people to talk english to you, they automatically asume you dont understand the local lingo
as i said though, not the quickest way to get through customs  |
Fair enough. So what you're saying is, if someone assumes you're an "outsider" (gaijin) by speaking to you in English, then you like to play as though you really are a foreigner who has no idea.
This is okay, so long as when someone talks to you properly in Japanese you reply respectfully and in Japanese. If you don't speak the language, ask them politely if they speak English.
I can relate to this I suppose; when people assume because I'm white I can speak English, I like to reply in Russian and pretend I have no idea how to speak English beyond "Me not speak English" in a thick Russian accent... you should try that one.
