Posted in: Singer Gackt claims he was victim of discrimination in Paris hotel See in context

2 reasons I see why the hotel did this, both of which I feel are unjustified.

1) East Asians slurp food, including pasta and soup, whereas European customs differ 2) The hotel wants to seem authentic, catering for Parisiens. Good hotel restaurants cater not just for guests, but business and political meetings too

Both reasons are obviously racist, but Gackt can bore off

Unoriginal advert but the game itself plays better than Fifa this year

Posted in: What Japanese habits have you adopted since moving to Japan? See in context

Unconscious slurping any form of 麺, and even spaghetti. My parents were adequately disgusted when I went back to Europe

Posted in: Japanese are more subtle and more sensitive. Whereas a strong chocolate will please Parisians, more of then than not, it will be too strong for Japanese. See in context

and the curry I had in London had peas in it for goodness sakes

Sorry to correct you Frungy but this is quite normal in Indian food! Mattar dishes are pea dishes (aloo mattar, paneer mattar etc.)

What an incredibly sweeping statement, even if it were true. If we're going to be speaking so generally I will state that from a European point of taste, Japanese cakes and desserts are a sickly sweet imitation of the European originals
