And I fully expected you to get as many blog posts as you could out of the questions, that's the whole point of an "ask me questions" day. :) Interesting the divide - but it's really the same as it would be at home. I don't go out much with my colleagues and it wouldn't be much different here or overseas - I prefer to spend time with my family and close friends. That is indeed speedy service Ilya!

Interesting. Our friends in Japan were Japanese. There was a lot of the "royal expat" thing going on in ex-pat Tokyo - membership at the Tokyo American Club, etc., and then there were the hippies looking to get enlightenment from Zen Buddhism that not even the Japanese pay much attention to anymore, and the hipsters teaching English short term to score some J-babes. Obviously, we didn't fit into any of those categories. Hmmm. Interesting. Our friends in Japan were Japanese.
