 Re: Indian Woman In Japan?
What planet are you in?
That is not true.. I did eat Indian curry in Japan and Nan and other Indian foods.. I knew many Indian restaurant and Indian people. I do know Japanese respect the people in your country and your culture.
Also I know how it feels when you are from British and people look at you like you know everything about India.
There's nothing you can do but try to deal with it..not most people would understand and know that you were born and raised in Britain if you don't speak. But this is how you were raised and if they don't understand your situation..focus on something or just enjoy being an Indian British..have the opportunities to represent this both Indian and British Culture the best you can.. because it is part of your family history.
Hate is not the word, hun.. they can't hate you if they don't know anything about you... To live in a country where people don't know anything about where you originally from is not easy.. it will take time before you finally get way how to deal with this.. good luck!
Visit some International School festivals and you will meet Indian and British people..You have something in you that you don't see..a bright future...There would be frustrating situations but you will overcome this...

 Re: Indian Woman In Japan?
Hey!
Let me tell u how it is actually. Lot of misconceptions which have to be rectified.. :)
Actually its not that the Japanese dont accept foreigners or dont like them.Its just that they dont know the way how foreigners think.Thats why they stay away from foreigners.But never the less if u make friends, they are quite friendly.But one thing has to be noted.You will have to make plans of meeting up, way ahead of the schedule.Plz dont expect them to come and meet u right away like us..lol..They make plans and schedules..
Its not just Indians, but all foreigners are treated alike.People who dont know facts think that the japs hate foreigners etc etc..
The 'no indian in japan' part is also not true.U will find Indians esp if u r in Tokyo. I stay in Kyoto and so i seldom meet some Indian here. But beware i have to warn u, most people i met were too proud to be in japan n so i didnt enjoy much conversation with them, coz the first question they ask is "which company...blah blah..."...I hate such people...
Dont know abt temples much. Dont expect to find any Indian clothing store here. as far as i know there is none.So packup all from home.u will find a lot of western clothing though, cute n pretty.
Abt food, u r so wrong :P. You will find a lot of Indian restaurants, coz japs like Indian food a lot. But its costly unlike India(or probably any other part of the world), so make sure u have enough in ur wallet before u enter..lol
They dont hate any culture, neither do they hate any foreigners; think i have explained it above. Its takes time to trust a foreigner in any country, japan is no exception..slowly and gradually u can make friends. A few rules i would like to share with u (dont worry these r my personal rules) :
1. Keep ur voice low wherever possible
2. Dont just smile at strangers(esp jap). Say something like "konnichiwa" or "hello" along with the smile. If u just smile its difficult for them to judge ur intentions.
3. Dont stare at anybody for too long.
4. Be polite, use please often(at least until u know the person)
my suggestion, plz learn basic Japanese(at least to talk) before u come here. Communicating in English might not get u anywhere. If u have no choice other than english, follow these:
1.Speak softly(not in a loud voice)
2. Dont showoff ur English skills. Speak in basic, slow, preferably broken english. if the person doesnt understand at all, just use words, forget sentences.
3. Dont get annoyed if the person doesnt understand even a bit of what u speak. Say its ok and ask the next person.
Good that u r learning japanese. u ll definitely need it!!
I actually forgot abt the 'teaching english' part..lol..
anybody would naturally prefer a native speaker, so it all depends how well u can express urself. Assuming that u have a British accent, u should have no problem teaching.Skin color doesnt matter frankly... The key point is to speak slowly at times.
Hope this was helpful n i have cleared all ur doubts. If u have any, get back to me.Have fun!

 Re: Indian Woman In Japan?
Indian culture are the most unique cultures in Asia... As a filipino, i think japanese are conservative for there country, so they dont want to blend indian to there culture. For me, i learn how to embrace other customs around the world.
Best of luck and Godbless!

 Re: Indian Woman In Japan?
I'm researching on the indian community in Japan, and let me tell you there are indians. Many.
oh, and as a matter of fact I met a indian girl who worked as an english teacher at Berlitz
about the hate I won't answer, because it's not worth it.
if you think like this why do you want to come anyway?
