    I lived in Japan as an American for 6 years. There were definitely times I went to enter a place and had the employees politely chuckle while handwaving/headshaking “no”. Sometimes I figured out what my error was, but there are many where I’m not sure why I was ushered out the door.

      When I was in Tokyo I went to a restaurant and all the other customers were women and I felt everyone peek glances at me the entire time I was there. They served me food but to this day I am not sure what I walked into.
