Respect Ranking
My recent bitching has uncovered an interesting ranking of respect in Japan. I was peeved today when I walked into ANOTHER Parent's Day without notice; apparently the school's don't feel that we should be privy to information like this IN ADVANCE. The following list was provided to me, sources will not be disclosed, Riccardo, I promise!Ranking of Respect In Japanese Society
- Japanese men
- Rice
- Sake
- Beer (not gaijin beer)
- Sushi
- Cars

- Gaijin Women (only if not Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese or Black and if they look like gaijin men, e.g. because of a beard, mustache or "male parts")

I round out this list by adding "English Teachers" at place #26.
