>>My best friend, who is Vietnamese, tried to marry a Japanese girl, but her family wouldnt let him. He was gaijin, you see.
More like he was a wuss. All it takes is a two witness’ signatures at a local ward office. I’m married to a Japanese women myself, and her parents were Buddhist statue carvers, lol. But I love ‘em.
The Japanese tend to be very conscious of small differences. People of Korean descent who came to Japan a hundred years ago are generally not welcome.
