about 50 minutes to roast the meat, but as

What’s With that?readers speak out!

フクオカ・ナウ読者が熱く語ります！

In Daimyo at night there are many people

in the streets giving out flyers to attempt

to attract customers to their nearby res-

taurants. Business is competitive in this

area, and lately you might have noticed

restaurant staff running after people with

iPads showing customers their menus. They

seem to be getting quite aggressive of late,

with Nakasu-esque pursue and snare tactics,

and it seems anyone’s fair game to the tablet-

swinging punter-gatherers... well, most are

anyway. I find that I get a wide berth as I make

my way home near Daimyo as those fishing

for business tend to retract the hand holding

the flyer, look the other way and awkwardly

fall silent. I cannot recall a time when this has

not happened. Not that I want to be bothered

by such people on the way home, but I wonder

why the thought of a gaijin being approach-

able like everyone else is so... foreign. Maybe

it’s because they assume I don’t speak Japa-

nese. Maybe it’s because they assume that I’m

just a passing tourist. Maybe they don’t want

foreign customers. I think it’s a mix of these

factors. I’d like to support local small business

if possible, find a cool place for food and a few

drinks after a shitty day, maybe even have a

chat about something other than answering

the usual ‘gaijin 20 questions’. I’d especially

like to support my local community, where

I live and pay taxes like everyone else. Even

though many places are hurting for business,

it seems that local businesses are not inter-

ested in foreign customers. This lack of com-

mon/business sense in Fukuoka exists much

to the detriment of its local economies. It’s a

shame because there is a lot on offer, but un-

fortunately not to everyone.

Many foreign residents know this story,

right? I’m sure that many have had similar

よくある外国人への質問を受け続けるのでなく、普通に会話も楽しみたいんだけど、そもそもの相手が興味をもってくれないから半分は諦めてる。どこも商売には必死なはずなのに、事実上のガイジン無視は経営的に間違っていると思うし、何よりも機会喪失だよ。　でも実はこれって日本にいる外国人にとっては日常茶飯事さ。ガイジンとして、つまり “日本人ではない” という理由で特別扱いされた経験は誰にでもあるってこと。チラシを配る人に冷たくあしらわれるとか、丁寧だけど部外者であることを暗に示されるとか、ね。要するに日本人の「ガイジン恐怖症」や「人種差別的な態度と発言」が、

disagree with… perhaps triggered by the

cute girl who wouldn't give me a flyer. One's

mind is a blur after 15 years experience of be-

ing an ‘outside person’. I like living in Fukuoka

even though it’s increasingly becoming a love/

hate type of situation. Nonetheless, I’d like

to encourage people to make their own way

through their experiences of Japan - never

mind the stereotypical expectations of you,

but try to forge an individual presence with-

out compromise. Foreigners living here enjoy

few of the basic rights they might consider to

be the norm in other countries and treated

merely as tourists, but the very existence of

foreigners here is a micro-action in itself, that

will inevitably bring change.

fukuoka-now.comDodesho? post YOUR comment online

experiences of 'micro aggressive' behavior

where foreigners are treated differently be-

cause they are simply not Japanese, such as

the flyer snub or the patronizing language

flattery or any behavior or comment that

seeks to reinforce difference by way of com-

pliment. Anyway, let’s cut to the chase. What

I’m trying to get to here is that it seems that

in Japan, what many foreign residents would

consider to be xenophobic and racist behav-

ior and attitudes are encouraged and cham-

pioned as a way of justifying a supposed ho-

mogenous society. An educational system

where some canned coffee/tobacco stink-

ing elementary school teacher can espouse

the finer points of Nihonjinron, justifying the

single race argument of a group of people

that foreigners can ultimately have no un-

derstanding of. The result of this is that even

a nihongo-packin long-term foreign resident

is continually considered as an outsider, and

therefore, troublesome. Troublesome to the

point of not being worth the risk of inviting

back to some overpriced izakaya in Daimyo.

One could argue that this is just the way it

is here, and ‘if you don’t like it, then leave’.

The apologists love saying that.

"Nihonjin dakara... It’s because I’m Jap-

anese that [insert the rest of any excuse to

discriminate or cop out here]" argument can

only go so far. Japan will lose out with this

race excuse card in the end. But logic does

not prevail here- nonsense does instead and

it's kind of pathetic that in Japan people can

huddle under a well worn patch-worked blan-

ket that is a supposed homogenous society

when using race as an excuse to discriminate.

When confronted with such tomfoolery,

I try to offer a light-hearted but sharp retort

- nothing nasty, but enough to trip up the

mindset slightly. For all those getting worked

up about empty train seats, anonymous "Ha-

ros!" and other such shenanigans, try and re-

member that Japan is not going to change

for you. And so, why should you change for

Japan? Maybe when Japan has earned a few

basic brownie points (such as adequate and

substantial laws that address racism and dis-

crimination), foreign residents might consider

making more of an effort.

In Fukuoka

While his finance-major classmates went on to work

in banks and security companies in Taiwan, Yu Ping

Tseng holds the title of General Manager of China Air-

lines’ Kyushu/Yamaguchi branch. Although he began

without interest in planes Yu Ping has spent the past 14 years in the

industry, which he describes as “interesting and dynamic”. Starting

out in the airline’s Economic Analysis Department, he progressed

through many roles before taking on his current GM status in Fukuo-

ka two years ago. He recalls his most unusual task while working in

the Aircraft Management Department, where he was put in charge

selling an unused airplane. The job included a trip with potential buy-

ers to view the plane in the desert in USA before he proudly sold it to

FedEx. With lots of aircraft knowledge, along with his finance back-

ground and experience in route management, Yu Ping now heads up

the team in Fukuoka. He is currently focused on pushing China Air-

lines’ web sales- offering special online promotions to build a deeper,

more direct relationship with customers. Another project he holds

dear is a chartered flight for school excursions from Kyushu to Tai-

pei, in an effort to strengthen cultural ties between the two regions.

As a foreigner in Fukuoka, Yu Ping is grateful for the great personal

relationships he continues to build. China Airlines flies from Fukuoka,

Motorbiking

The Ride“A cool crisp morning with the sun dancing

around us as we cut our way through to the

top of the mountain on our bikes. The curves

are anything but forgiving, and every single

hairpin reminds us there is more to learn. Ev-

ery road has a personality, some are friendly

and open while others are tight and unyield-

ing. Others start out narrow and then open up

into a vantage point that just exceeds what

you were expecting and you and your riding

buddies found it.”

Advantage Motorbike

The image of motorcycles in Japan

for many may be scooters shooting

through traffic or bikes squeezing be-

tween two buses. It just looks dangerous.

TexT and phoTos By GreG o’KeefeRoad to Mt. Aso, Kumamoto

Mitsusei, Fukuoka

in Kyushu

8 • Fukuoka Now • #173 • May 2013

Well, that is dangerous, but that’s

not what we will be talking about.

Japan has a ton of country roads

that just beg to be ridden. In gen-

eral, Japan is a centralized soci-

ety and many Japanese prefer

the convenience of city life over

the country, so this creates an

empty countryside just waiting to

be explored. Motorcycles, being

smaller than cars, provide easi-

er access to more out of the way

places than you may think to go

to by car. On a motorbike, you can

still visit point A and B, but the in-

between is much more enjoyable.

Touring in Kyushu

Once you have a license

and a bike, especially a

larger one, it would be

a shame to limit yourself to just

local riding in the city. Get a good

map or GPS and just go. Stick

to smaller groups of two to five

bikes. Riding with large groups

can make the journey less per-

sonable and slower. You will meet

different types of riders with dif-

ferent goals. Some are into food

or taking in the sites, some are

into riding as many beautiful

roads as possible. We recom-

mend finding roads that offer a

view with as few cars as possible.

You may even want to pack a ben-

to and bring it along, so you can

eat it somewhere in the country-

side and just take it slow.

The Journey is the Reward

If you have ever thought about

riding in Japan, get started,

you won’t regret it. For those

new to motorcycles, safety is

number one. Take your time and

find some people you trust to

ride with. But most of all enjoy

the ride. The old proverb is true.

“The journey is the reward” and

you won’t know it until you do it.

overs as Dontaku floats decorated with light

bulbs and flowers.
