Thank you a lot for the nice response and the kind explanation. You are definitely right that there are never any bad intentions behind the various experiences that can be had as a foreigner.<p>Perhaps my problem is not really the experience itself, but that I don&#x27;t know how to deal with certain situations in a smooth and sociable way. I also have not lived in Japan long enough to really master all social interactions. It&#x27;s quite easy to forget when you&#x27;re from another culture how much routine your own culture already has and how different it can be.<p>So, stage4目指せ!
