Body Image and Self-Confidence

[rakugo_report]

Being a Westerner in Japan is often a pretty singular experience. Many people, especially those who live in the countryside, feel like minor rock stars or local celebrities of some sort (which they legitimately are). Through the years I have heard many a returnee say that part of their reverse culture shock is getting used to not being "special"

I love a good self esteem boost.
And you ARE pretty, so it's not just the Japanese who think so. =)

Dude, that same exact woman stopped me yesterday too!! (Well, she was in HT, so I guess it wasn't the same exact one, but...) She was all like "Beautiful face" in crappy katakana Engrish. I guess they all love za gaijinz!

You are beautiful!!
