Topless Robot has compiled a list of the ten most common foreigners you’ll find in Japan; should you choose to go, you’ll probably befriend and become one, but more likely two or three, of these characters.

I fall under #2, a Fogot-to-Leave.
I'd hate to be lumped into the bitter white woman category, but I have to agree it is frustrating to find shoes here. That I am a tad bitter about ;)
The shoes! What's up with that anyway? You can't even special order huge shoes. I just add it to my cost of living and my size 13-14 from the U.S.
You'll just have to make do with those sumo clogs.
Well that was incredibly bleak. Haha.
The PET role doesn't sound so bad. I think I might be a mixture of the following: 10, 2 and 1. I have too much soul to be a Nigel, I'm not European, I recognize that there are people who know way more than me about Japan, I don't hate anything much less Japan, secretly or otherwise, I'm not a white woman, and I don't have enough charisma to be a host.
I guess it wasn't so bleak after all! XD
Hmm ... I'm not too sure where I fall into this category. A little bit of #2 and a little bit of #1 (leave the toilet humor where it belongs, please :P) with a little bit of "my wife lived here, so I came over as part of #2.
Hopefully I'll just be in category two within the next few years....
Interesting Read, although some of the comments were a little mean to say the least. But it is quite informative, thank you.
Guess, I'd fall into the #2 category. But, I think I'd be better-labeled an 'I-don't-want-to-go-home' type. Well, except to hit up Vegas for a week ;)
Very amusing read and can relate to bits and pieces of several of them.
lol this article is just harsh. Nice try blaming europeans though, with a picture of football hooligans not taken in Japan :P
Hmm I don't fit into any of these. I demand a recount!
What category do you fit into? I think many of us willl fall into a few different categories, but I also feel the list was lacking something that just screamed "this is you!"
Something like ... "came here for women" :P
lol.
I'd rather there was a "came here for culture/lifestyle/language" but that's too dull I guess :P
Although it is true that Americans outwork Euros hands down.
Only because they have to pay so many taxes!
Damn I am The Professional English Teacher. Well, bring a pet is not that bad. I am funny and the ladies like me. Plus, my job is easy for the most part.
Wow that was a sad, bitter little rant, I wonder which category he fits in to...
