hey cool vid!, the staring might be because Japan, is composed by almost 98% of Japanese people (but you already know that), so that it might be why it is kind of uncommon for them (very uncommon for what you say…) I hear form a friend (who is also latino too) that lived so like 4 years in Osaka, that usually Japanese people from the south tend to be more darked skinned (not much of course) maybe thats why they don’t see you amusing as your African-American friend.
and 1 question, may I put a link of your blog on my blogroll? I do think that it really interesting!, u might do the same with mine (mine is in spanish by the way)

yeah some japanese people are very very tanned so I think at first when people see me they don’t notice right away that i’m foreign. whereas if i had blue eyes and blonde hair they would notice right away. i also think it depends on the day. some days people go by without being looked at. other days you get looks. it’s not exactly daily or anything but it definitely happens more than anywhere else one has probably been to
yeah you can if you want! I would put your blog too but i have no clue how to even add a blogroll lol

Japanese are no strange the y are just kind of “special” (in the good way of course), I read that Docomo (cellphone carrier) has had maybe famous american Actors for they advertising (like Cameron Diaz) but has not worked out someout, instead they started using a white akita dog (called Otosan!) and it worked out so well! lol!
you can look for it on youtube, it is really hilarious.
don’t worry about my blog, I have also been having trouble with wordpress…I like blogger better!
