Here, even if you have a Japanese friend with you, many bars still won't let foreigners in, including Pinoys. My cousin (and his Japanese neighbor) showed me areas in town to stay away from lest the local yakuza goons focus their attention on me if I got too nosey.

I'm just here on vacation and letting my leg heal. So it's probably not worth getting worked up over. Still, once I get back to the US and a Japanese say "we fellow Asians"..... I'd probably think, "Yeah, right. You lying b*****d"....

Sorry if I ruined this thread about Saddam's death. But, everything I related here is still very fresh in my mind. Given an opportunity to come out, it came out in *******s.

Make no mistake, Japan is a fun place for Pinoys. Just be aware that there are areas where we're not welcome and our business not wanted....

Ok. I'm done.........
