Text Rest of your article	> I Believe they might take it as a sign of respect for them. Only if you think highly of them, you would bother to learn their language. The Japanese are much more sensitive to those kinds of things. So perhaps 'amazed' isn't the correct word, perhaps they are 'thrilled'. > > And If I compare my experiences in Japan with those in Malaysia, Indonesia (excluding Bali) and China, I do conclude that the Gaijin in Japan are most likely to have no clue about the local language (other then a small number of key phrases which are famliar to each and every Gaijin. I almost believe them to be a subliminal message hidden in the airplane movies for all Japan-inbound lines). I wonder whether the average duration-of-stay for JapanGaijin is also the shortest.
