[...] It’s a typical Friday night in Tokyo, I just finished teaching a private lesson during which I was asked out to dinner. Tak, Matt and a few others were having some drinks in Shibuya and I was on my way to join them when my phone battery dies. In any other city in the world this probably wouldn’t such a bad thing but when you’re in Tokyo and aren’t sure where your friends are or where you’re suppose to meet said friends, it’s a HUGE deal. The most recent communication I had with Tak was that we were meeting in front of Hachiko statue (the most popular meeting spot in Shibuya). I arrive at Shibuya station and search for Tak, he’s nowhere to be found. Of course, I must mention that I was late arriving, quelle suprise, so chances are they’ve already headed to the destination. I waited a few more minutes and decided to find a pay phone (they actually have pay phones in Tokyo, weird eh?). Luckily I copied down Taks number before my phone died. I’m not really sure how much it costs to make a call on a Japanese pay phone and they don’t indicate the cost either just the it accepts 10 and 100 coins. Just my luck I have no 100 coins and only 3 10 coins. So that’s not going to work. Before opting for the pay phone option I contemplated asking a fellow gaijin for the use of their phone but like all gaijins here I like to avoid talking to other gaijins. Being a foreigner makes you develop a sort of “holier than thou” attitude when it comes to other gaijins in the same country. (See “Stuff White People Like“) [...]

Back in Puerto Rico, there are plenty of Church’s Chicken, so I’m used to that restaurant. When I moved to the continental US, it was a shock seeing myself as being the only white person in those restaurants. They always looked me weird, and took longer than usual with my order. Never came back.

However, in a place full of Amerindians (the Indigenous looking people; mostly from Central America and Mexico), is always good to be the only white person who can understand all their obsenities, and make them look bad when they say them (I love to approach groups of Amerindians who speak obsenities in Spanish thinking nobody else can understand them ’cause everyone around is so white). They feel so stupid, and try to apologize for their misbehavior.
