Token Cultural Sharing

Ok, maybe I’m frustrated pretty badly with Japan at the moment. Maybe I’m annoyed that the temperature has dropped severely. Maybe a survey I just answered about living here for the local non-profit organization dredged up some lousy memories. (Might post about that later.) Maybe the whole fingerprinting all foreigners deal to “prevent terrorism” still seems pretty raw to me. Or, maybe I’ve always been slightly put off by well meaning, but patronizing, one way cultural sharing. If this post is slightly snarky, it’s me - so please forgive the cynicism.
