I've not found much advantage to having an Asian 
face, but perhaps this will be a first. ^_^

Seriously, maybe it's not so much that Japanese 
dislike foreigners so much as the fact that many 
foreigners assume that Japanese should speak some 
English. 

I know that I would be taken aback if someone 
starting speaking Russian to me in the US. Now I 
suppose I'll see what being in the passenger seat 
feels like.
