@anaerin @jschauma beautiful! Let me know when you need a blunt & direct Dutchie.

@anaerin @jschauma And now I have a new career path goal.

@anaerin Lovely twist on a very real thing. As a recovering American living in Australia, I'm here to tell you the stereotype is painfully real, even if it isn't readily transportable to a business situation. It's fun to go to restaurants in touristy places and hear the bellowing Americans echoing off the back wall. They don't care if they get a table by the kitchen. @jschauma

@anaerin @jschauma
I would rule at this job.

@anaerin @jschauma problem with "the loud American gambit" is, you probably only get one gaijin bomb, two at most per gig. But it is a valuable strategic asset.

@anaerin I believe it, because Japan is the strange kind of country where gaijin tarento is a genuine career path for TV pundits.

@jschauma

@anaerin

Please please please.

I wore out a shirt that said, in big garish letters, Jesus Loves You

And then real little underneath: everybody else thinks you're an asshole.

Almost got my ass kicked for christ a couple times.

In aviation, cultural patterns where "you never tell the boss they are screwing up"...can lead to fatal disasters.
