It is strange to be such a minority. I am much more adaptive then the people in those movies so I do not really 'but heads with the culture'.
I would say I am always noticed because I will be the only American around, the only non Japanese around. Kids will stare, some adults will too. Being in Tokyo though it isn't as bad as it would be in smaller places.
I can tell I make people in small shops nervous, when I walk in there is kind of a 'oh shit'. But I say 'excuse me' in Japanese and try to 'blend in' the best a white blond haired person can.
But I must admit I haven't really traveled to far from where I live yet. Today I plan on going on quite a trip so Imight have a better understanding afterwards.
