Privacy gaijin styleI have to be one of the most exposed gaijins in Japan. Does that mean that my privacy is in jeopardy. Probably; since EVERYBODY knows just about everything there is to know about other than what hand I ….wipe my nose with. My left. I mean, living in Hokkaido on the eastern tip Kuso Baka has not lead me to any encounters with estranged otaku harboring a vengeance for manga foreign wannabes. But the point here is whether Japanese should feel so insecure.

Ask me if I know what my neighbors names are. Nope. Couldn’t tell ya. I don’t even see them, much less any of the other tenants in my 10 story building (on the coast of yada yada). You’d think since we live RIGHT in front of a park there would be regular BBQs or or or…gee…I’ve forgotten what activities communities do since becoming apart of the non-community life.

I digress. Privacy is what you make of it. Us gaijin have our blinders on and Japanese have honor and humble ways. Let’s just keep this going as long as we can.

I don’t think people have privacy anymore anywhere. In Japan, live in a big city and you will be left alone more.
