Tachikoma - Don't be surprised by the question - "Why are you speaking Japanese?". They are just either trying to show of their English. OR 1000 times more likely, used to stupid F-ing gaijin who are arrogant enough to speak in English to a Japanese person prior to the Japanese person confirming they understand English!
Sample questions to me from Japanese university friends -
Why don't gaijin ask if I can speak English before they talk
Why don't they learn Japanese
Why do they think I speak English
Very true. I reckon young people are getting more and more pissed with gaijin in Japan who just bellow at them in English. You know I understand tourists like that, but I know people whol live in Japan and do not try. But tourists can be bloody awful, taking pictures of people without permission and not even using set questions from the back of a guide book.
I saw this one guy in a perfume shop in Harajuku yelling "How much?" three times to the staff. And the staff said to him in Japanese, "I hate serving people like you" (quite funny!). She did not help him and he left. So yeah people are starting to get a bit pissed off.
Some of my friends who speak English even pretend they don't to rude gaijin! And do not get me started on the gaijin Nanpa who have turned up in Shibuya! I watched this one chancer speaking to every girl that passed in English. They all practically ran off. I did not think it would be possible to have a lower success rate than the guys on Takeshita street in Shinjuku - at least they try to nanpa in Japanese!
Well that was another rant. I don't know what it is about this thread...
