Drunken foreigners, Why I Love Japan
Vending machines are all over Japan. If there is not a vending machine within
eyesight, then you are not in Japan (a bit of an exaggeration to illustrate a
point). One can find any assortment of
products available in the vending machines.
Vending machines dispensing adult beverages (beer) require placing a
government identification card to determine legal age.
Upon placing a Texas driver’s license, the purchase was
rejected. Apparently the machine only
recognizes Japanese government identification cards. This may cause non-Japanese to hurl an
accusation of the Japanese not being friendly to foreigners. Hooey!!!
The last thing Japan needs is drunken foreigners. While walking a street in Dotonbori in Osaka,
Japan, our group was intruded by a drunken foreigner. We knew the inebriated man was a foreigner
because he kept repeated over and over, “I’m from Sweden.” He was an annoyance beyond recognition.
I made many trips to Japan and traveled extensively throughout
the nation. Attended many luncheons,
dinners where sake freely flowed. Never
once did I encounter a drunk Japanese.
However the only drunk in these many trips was that one foreigner from
Sweden.
