When I first moved to Japan for a postgrad degree I quickly decided I would never leave. That changed after about 6–7 months. I speak fluent Japanese, and as a Japanologist I have a good understanding of the country’s history, sociology, economy and culture. Despite all of this, after about a year I left Japan.
当我第一次搬到日本攻读研究生学位时，我就决定永远不离开日本了。但这个想法在六七个月以后就发生了变化。我日语说的很好，作为日本问题专家，我非常了解日本的历史，社会，经济和文化。尽管如此，在一年之后，我还是离开了日本
Let me start with this: I love Japan and Japanese people in general. However, there are a number of reasons why a non-Japanese looking person will find it hard to fit into society. I do think Japanese people are really nice in general, but many of them are quite secluded from the rest of the world and somewhat narrow-minded.
首先，我爱日本和日本人民。然而，有很多原因导致长得不像日本人的人很难融入日本社会。我认为日本人总体上是非常不错的，但很多人闭目塞听对世界缺乏了解，相当的狭隘。
On the bus, in the supermarket, everywhere gaijins are not a “natural” sight to behold. Even in rush hour, people on the metro or bus kept as much distance from me as possible, not sitting right next to me like I had the plague.
在公交车上，在超市里面，任何地方，外国人都被视为不自然现象。即便是在高峰期，地铁或公交车上的人也会尽可能的与我保持距离，好像我是瘟疫一样，不愿意坐在我身边。
Secondly, societal pressures, limitations, institutional and cultural oppression and casual sexism and racism. I have a hard time turning a blind eye to injustice and I often felt sorry for women (especially young girls and women) as they seemed to be under extreme pressure.
第二，社会压力、限制、制度和文化压迫以及偶尔的性别歧视和种族主义。我很难对不公正现象视而不见，我经常为妇女（尤其是年轻女孩和妇女）感到难过，因为她们似乎受到了很大的压力。
People not expressing their opinions and thoughts freely and honestly. I found this one really hard as I was brought up in an environment where this was encouraged. ‘No foreigners’ or ‘No black people’ on the door of some bars. This I found really hard to tolerate. At times, there appeared to be so little knowledge of the outside world, some people never heard of either of my countries (I’m half Dutch half Hungarian). My African classmate was asked if his skin colour could “come off”…
日本人不能自由诚实的表达自己的观点和看法。我发现这真的很难做到，因为在我成长的环境中，这种行为是受到人们鼓励的。一些酒吧的门上写着外国人不得入内，或黑人不得入内。我觉得这种行为真的令人难以容忍。有时，我觉得日本人对外界真的不太了解，有些人从来没有听说过我的国家（我拥有一半荷兰血统，一半匈牙利血统）。我的非洲同学曾被问过“你的皮肤颜色能不能脱落。”
Japan is a beautiful and unique country nonetheless and I had more positive experiences than negative all in all. Most people appreciate it greatly if you learn and speak the language and show genuine interest in the culture. It is far more both in a good and bad way. I will definitely return for as long as I can, but not to settle there. I think that’s better for both parties :).
尽管如此，日本仍然是一个美丽而独特的国家，总的来说，我在日本美好的经历还是要更多一些。如果你学习并会说日语，并且展现出对日本文化的兴趣的话，大多数人都会非常欣赏你。日本有好的一面也有不好的一面。如果有机会，我肯定还要再到日本，但不是为了定居，我认为这样对双方都有好处。
