Double mistaken identity?

Filed under: tagme — @ 10:45 pm

I had a rather odd experience the other day while waiting at the
train platform. I was standing behind two girls who I thought
were your typical Japanese high school students. However, when I
started overhearing the conversation I realized they were speaking
English. Perfect English of the North American variety. I found
this rather amusing since I completely mistook them for Japanese
on first glance. After listening a little more carefully I
heard some Chinese being thrown into the middle of the conversation
so I made the liberal guess they were Chinese-American of
some sort.

Here’s the kicker, since I just sat quiet threw all of this
they probably thought I was just some normal Japanese dude.
The fun of being a non-japanese asian in Japan.
