Do Japanese people come to America and find that it’s a complete dump? They have a much more modern and functional society. Horrified to think about them riding the New York subway.

My favorite story about this is there were a few people in Japan who were super into Collegiate blue jean core (adjacent to Japanese Americana) in the 60s - I’m talking obsessed. They finally get the funds to go to the US and they achieve their dream of visiting a real US college

Then they describe their utter amazement as the first person walked out was just wearing sweatpants and sloppily dressed and had just woke up and that it was like glass shattering
