Why do Japanese people think I'm Japanese?
I was on an airplane from the US to Japan, heading to Vietnam(where my family's from.) The flight attendant asked me what I wanted to eat in Japanese until they realized that I'm not Japanese. While I was in the airport, someone else said I look Japanese. Is this strange?
Added (1). I was on ANA
You must just look Japanese. It isn't odd. You might dress like one.
Big deal. On Finnair they thought I was Finnish. Why are you making a fuss about this, unless it's to draw attention to yourself.
Which airline?
Probably ANA or JAL. That happens to most Asians. Depending on the airline, I get spoken to in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese, Tagalog, Thai, Hokkien, and once even a "excuse me, do you speak English sir?" (Wtf?! Lol) when flying to Asia.
On the way to Europe, I get mainly french.
Are you an Asian? Basically, many Asians look similar, particularly east Asians. So you just look like Japanese.
Maybe you do look Japanese for a Viet
A Polynesian co-worker of mine didn't look Japanese to me at all, but Japanese asked him all the time if he was Japanese. This happens to everybody who shares the same racial group.
Nothing strange about this. You mean you can tell the difference between a French, British, German, or American just by their appearance?
- Why don't airlines have larger sized seats for plus sized people? They could probably charge a little more for them, instead of making the flying experience a nightmare for some people.
- Why do some people who book Frontier wait till they get to the airport to pay for checkin luggage when it's more than when you pay online? Like you have a small fee online. If you wait till you're at the airport it's a bigger fee. Are these people irrational?
- I have a female Shih Tzu that has the brachycephalic syndrome typical with the breed, Vet says do nothing, what do you think? The dog is 10 years old, he said it's a procedure not always successful, but if you're going to do it, it should be around age 2-4. Her breathing is stable, she's in good shape due to exercise, He said he could try the procedure to open airway up, but said I can't guarantee anything.
- Why don't airlines charge for people's weight, the same way they charge for the luggage's weight? The cost for adding a few punds to your luggage is robbery. I'm at least 40 lbs lighter than the average American. Why can't they give me a discount considering that I probably cost less fuel than most people?
