Last summer, I was back home on vacation and was dining with some friends. The table next to ours was occupied by some Japanese tourists.
One of my friends decided to approach the table and asked “are you gaijin?” Suddenly there was an ear-splitting cry of “naaaaniiiiiii!!!!!!!!!” from the group and one of their group threw a 750ml bottle of beer at my friend.
Is gaijin harmless? Some people don’t seem to think so. — Tanz
