HAHAHAHAHHAHA..

Awesome. (a bit stereotypical toward women, don't you think? what about "men reading manga on train" to balance that out?)

I see dudes read a lot of weird porn or action novels or comic books in many cities - but there is no comparing any of that to the consistent, nay dependable influx of pleasant women reduced to tears for some reason or another.

I've never seen women crying on the train O_o

Just once, when I was walking, a highschool girl on a bike who was crying. And who got more upset when I tried to ask what was wrong. :/

3) photography
4) convenient

(I was an art student also studying Japanese after having read way too much about the culture before going there. I found everything I read to be true some but not all of the time.)

Me too! I'm really surprised how many of the stereotypes that I saw in manga/anime are actually true here. I figured fantasy would add something, but in the end, not really. o.o

1) Staring (at me, openly, without shame)
2) "HELLO!!!" (from every random person that passes me)
3) Small (clothes!!! and people)
4) Doujinshi (One of my favorite things about life here =D Porn=YAY!)
5) Miscommunciation (Every day ^^;)

Mine sound so negative! (except #4) But those things are things that I experience and think about every single day..
