Imagine some Indian guy in the US "Those guys on the street speak terrible Indian!" Duh.. if you are going to live in Japan, learn the language. Tom,

It's not so uncommon for the act of nanpa when you equate it to something familiar... For example, Lenox Mall in Atlanta in the States (where I live now) is prime girl-hunting territory on any weekend. Or the beach promenades of Rio in Brazil. it may be different in terms of the cultures represented, but the goal has been the same since the dawn of time, no? I hope I was in that crowd on hikkae hashi that day!

Hikkake-bashi is insane - I walked on that bridge and I got frisked at least three times by Japanese men asking for digits. I don't see why all these man waste their time standing on the bridge. They're easily the best-looking in Osaka! Haha Neil. Hikkake-bashi is insane – I walked on that bridge and I got frisked at least three times by Japanese men asking for digits.

" on a cute j girl... pretend u need help finding a subway station and when they give u directions, pretend she just saved ur life and u insist on treating her to dinner. This trick only works in daytime... at night, they kinda know ur pulling their leg.

I try and stay away from places with too many Gaijin most of the time. Places like Muse are a haven for J-Babes looking for western men although competition is rife. Maybe the demise of Nova English school will send a lot of the English teachers home. ;) Tom, i agree with you on the scene in the Pong, no doubt about it.

The girls on the street speak terrible english and are probably looking for a husband anyways. Gaijin bars are the way to go...cuz u already know ur gonna meet women who are crazy about western guys.
