rach 1 Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 It seems he's deserted us all - took db's "shut up" comments too harshly and is now cowering away in a corner Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Things were getting right heated and fun, the two of them then dropped off, and the forum has all but silenced. Seems that, between the We Love America thread and infanticide, nearly everyone has quietened up a bit! Nice to see db's starting to poke around a bit again, though ... (the days are rather long without a decent headbutting sesh, don't have enough time to hold an argument all by meself though...) Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Dunno, seems the opposite to me.... there seems to be more posts than ever on this Off Topic section. Anyway, even if he isn't posting, O11 will most definitely be lurking. Hi!!! Genki? Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Hey miteyak - why don't you start a new contro topic yourself then?? Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 1 Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Good point NoFakie. I also agree with the sentiments expressed about ol Whitey having a fairly easy ride here in some respects. This doesn't mean that the type of descrimination which got this thread started is acceptable though does it? Certain groups of foriegners experience much worse than others I'm sure. None of it is right but the Japanese are generally fairly ambivilent about these things because it generally doesn't affect them. As for the SARS thing and business interests blanket banning all foreigners as potential carriers displays ignorance of the facts. What about Japanese who've been overseas recently.

indosnm 0 Posted May 30, 2003 Author Share Posted May 30, 2003 the LOW DOWN! We are back in the hotel! Apparently the CHIBA TOURISM ASSOCIATION recommended refusing their services to all gaijin, after some guy from Taiwan came here, went to dozens of touro spots and was infected with SARS. After several times of pointing the fact that Oz has no reported cases and blah blah... he called back and we are in. Its nice that he actually took the time out to do some research and back up his claim (which didn't happen) live Davo said, yes us gaijin here get a damn good run, but the blatant discrim isn't warranted. case closed..

jared 0 Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 A New Zealander I met the other week went back to nz for a visit. While there he was quite sick and had a temperature and all that. When he wanted to make an appoinment at the doctors they asked if he had been traveling in Asaia. He said yes he had been in japan and was subsiquently refused an appointment and sent to a special area of the hospital where he was made to wait for hours to see someone - was eventyally tested for sars by a nurse with no protective gear on (didnt need to wear any cos there is no sars in japan - but he still had to go to the hospital) If "medical professionals" in NZ are muffing it up hows a hotel man gonna get by.

nzlegend 1 Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Organizers in Kyushu of a sports event are also banning the foreigners. instea'd of banning those just from Canada and Hong Kong etc, they have gone for a blanket ban. Link to post Share on other sites

jared 0 Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 japantoday.com - god I hate that place - Its good to get some english news on japan (where i live there are no eng news papers) but I always end up reading the posts and discussions after the articles. They are so depressing, I dont know why the ppl writing them bother to stay alive I'm sure they would be happier dead than living in this "dirty racist hell hole". Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 What Japan doesnt get and what it will take years to grasp is this. Whats gone today is hard to get back tomorrow. Ban people this year and how many people will come next year. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 I spoke to a ryokan owner last winter and he told us - no kidding - that he didnt want the business of gaijin as it would not do good for the image of the place, and so have an adverse effect on his Japanese market.

indosnm 0 Posted June 6, 2003 Author Share Posted June 6, 2003 Funny how U who have been here in the country can't stay, and a Japanese business man who has just recently been to all the "hot spots" in China can stay. I sometimes wander where they get these good business heads? Can you imagine these frikking meeting that the "associations" have?....ok todays adgenda, lets ban all gaijin coz we don't need SARS! ****ers all of them. I will stay in my car from now on!
