I don't know Man, pople visit India here and have very disrespectful behavior, most US and UK people. Most other countries are okay. They think they are more "civilized" and hence get to lecture people on what to do and what not to do. Fix your own problems first! And even when you do, don't lecture us, we'll fix our "problems" ourselves.

I don't understand. Why did the person stay for 10 years? This seems like something you notice after 1 year, or even a few months, let alone 10 years. Is there some family context here that is missing?

I was under the impression that India was considered one of the most racist/sexist countries on the planet.

The article is full of whining about imaginary BS like gender-bias and the writer seems to be doing everything is his/her power to look for problems that really don't exist like complaining about the word "foreigner" and trying to find racism or discrimination in everything.

Japan may have it's problems but this is ridiculous.

This sounds akin to people threatening to leave the US if Trump wins. "This society is not liberal enough so bye". I think part of living in society is accepting not everybody thinks the way you do.

Eventually you hit a breaking point when it seems like not _anybody_ thinks the way you do, and leave.

For me, it was (among other things) hearing colleagues joke about murdering bicyclists, while I stood there with helmet in hand, having nearly been killed every morning.

> Policemen are everywhere, more than London There's a reason why London has had more than 20 people killed this year in terrorist incidents and Japan has 0. London has crime, Japan doesn't. Also, your attitude comes as realy hostile in your blog, maybe it was your body language that caused that? I'm sick of these "i'm superior to you" white boys

> London has crime, Japan doesn't.

This reminds me of being in University and listening to insufferable weebs going on about how Japan was a pure society with no crime, no poverty, no problems whatsoever.

As a foreigner who lived in India for many years I wholeheartedly agree. I often felt embarassed by the way other foreigners acted in India, dressing inappropriately, being know-it-alls....I probably fell into this category at times. Indians are generally such hospitable people that they don't say much but I can't imagine the response if a foreigner went to a western country and started telling everyone what was wrong with their country and dressing in ways deemed inappropriate for that country...
