Well, being an African American living in kyoto, Japan I have experience just mostly death stares from all the Japanese I walk pass. Not once has anyone came up to me and ask a question or helped in anyway; But I already expected that. I mostly walk with a someone whenever go some where in Kyoto, I dont know if that the reason why they nevered appoached me or not. I try my best to speak the language and follow cultural guidelines. I not on the heavy im actually fairly skinny and short ( not saying that really matters). I do however overhear some japanese compliment on me on my clothing without them actually telling me...but whatever the case maybe, im going to stay positive and continue to enjoy me stay here.

I am a student studying in Japan for one year.
