Not Bad
★★★☆☆
The book was an interesting look at life here in Japan for ex-pats.
The only thing that bothered me about this book was the tone.
I can't say that I'd buy this book, but others out there might like it.
If you can get it for free, it's worth a read.
日本駐在のアメリカ人が日本化されていくのが良くわかる!
★★★★☆
We all know how hilariously "japanized" expatriates can end up being after spending years in Japan. Yup, we bow when we pass a coworker in the hallway or can't remember if we want to fry or fly the shrimp. The author is a cartoonist for the Japan Times Weekly and if you've been in Japan for any amount of time, you will find this book hilarious!日本人の人にとっては日本在住暦が長い「ガイジン」が変な所だけジゃパナイズされていくのがよくわかっておもしろい!普段、何気なくやってしまう日本人らしい行動(本書の中では「お酒を配られても飲まずに乾杯を待つ」などが挙げられている)をガイジンがするのを想像して笑ってください。英文、日本語訳とあるので英語の勉強にもなります。
