If you've ever been to Japan you will see why their trains aren't vandalised, their streets are clean and people just get on with each other. It's called respect for others.

Agreed.

And I've heard Japan is one of the cleanest countries.
 
If they were so civilized then why are they cheating, that is a good question?
 
Theres a difference between protectionist and racist but every civilisation is a bit racist or envious .

So far i like jp racer they are usualy fair and square IF you play by those same rules.

Well maybe that was exactly what the japanese where saying to each other but you couldn't understand ;)

I know a little Japanese.

Those guys were actually ogling over the Veyron. A rough transcript of that whole deal would go:
"Huh? WHOA! Veyron! That's awesome!"
"Veyron...whoa."

And...yeah. There's a difference between national pride and racism, and the Japanese are nothing if not proud of being Japanese. That's not racism.
 
Japanese can sometimes be annoyingly courteous, but I can't complain...

That's how they drive in Japan anyway. When I rented a Mazda Demio in Japan I was amazed that they line up for miles waiting for a turn, no one cuts ahead of other drivers as they do here in the USA. I was the lone a-hole who cuts in front of a mile long line of Kei cars as I suddenly realized I was supposed to be in that line.

A buddy of mine took a bicycle trip through rural Japan, and he told me once he was on a narrow road, pedaling along, enjoying the scenery and he suddenly realized he hadn't been passed by a car for at least ten minutes. He looked back and saw a huge procession behind him, over forty cars, slogging at 5 mph behind him, patiently awaiting for him to pull over or for the road to widen. No one seemed angry or were honking their horns. When he pulled on the side to let them pass most of the Japanese drivers waved and smiled at him. In the USA (and many other countries) he would have been either run over or at least cussed at.

Ask the Koreans who are born and raised in Japan and are not given Japanese citizenship. Japan is pretty racist, but you won't feel it/see it if you're white. That's the same all over Asia. Korea is the same, I lived there for six years. Things are slowly changing but there are still lots of racism there.

Japanese are intellectual racists with white, black, yellow or any other color which is not Japanese. They even look down on guys half Japanese!

I lived in Japan, and I'm white. They do not offend you, or insult you like they do with some Koreans, but they really segregate you from any of their activities in a polite manner. E.g., Japanese only bars/clubs, and Everybody's bars/clubs...

Indeed, they treat Koreans like crap, but they do not like any other foreigner as well, they just remain silent about it.

Immigration policies aside the only time I was told "sorry, Japanes only" was in Kabukicho. I think you can guess what sort of establishment that was.
I think the Japanese are a bit overly protective of their culture because they can see that Japanese society works as society is supposed to.
They can also see that other societies don't work that way and they don't want to lose that.

Otherwise they are the most courteous and friendly (and shy) people I've ever encountered.

Maybe you were not at the huge Tower Records in Tokyo back in the 90's when they had a sign in Japanese saying:

"Sorry about the theft detection systems employed, but we usually have a lot of foreigners in the store."

Maybe you were never married to a Japanese woman, you'll see how friendly they get when you try to really mix with them, not just tourist around...

Maybe you were not born outside of Japan having Japanese blood, where they treat them like outcasts... just for that...

Oh, and you should ride the J R during Friday's night, you'll see how civilized they are, puking around the train and lifting woman's skirts drunk...

Moreover, they treat their women like objects, so disrespectful towards females...

All that is so ironic, when the stereotype of the Japanese is an extremely respectful guy, that is really shocking when you really mix with them, you'll discover a lot of issues there.

I can say the same for Korea (which is a lot like Japan), my wife was the first in her family to not marry Korean, and until they met me it was a real big deal... but then I went over to the big yearly family reunion, bringing gifts in the form of expensive alcohol to all the family elders, and two huge rack of ribs for everybody else, and suddenly I was accepted. Now I am just another person in the family.

I think Koreans are really cool! I never lived in Korea but visited Seoul a lot and they are really friendly, much more "socially normal" than the Japanese, but yeah, they kind of hate each other, that sucks. We all should just get along around the world, maybe some day...
 
Great stories, guys. Share some more so that no one realizes the toppic isn't even about Racing Games! Yippee~ oh wait
 
Mistake Thread was mistake. People should learn to keep these things to yourself. DON'T share it on forums that's full of bummer boys with X1's.. :grumpy:

Ok, once at the Yongsan electronics market in Seoul this middle aged guy was playing GT4 on his video game store, he really didn't know what he was doing, bouncing and sliding all over Midfield Raceway with a R34 Skyline GT-R. I stood there watching for a while, GT4 had just come out and I hadn't bought it yet, and boy it looked pretty compared to GT3!!

The Korean guy was clearly not enjoying himself too much; he looked at me and kinda showed me the controller, the international sign for "you wanna try this?". I took it from him and said kamsahamnida. I took the reigns from that Skyline and did a good 5 or 6 laps, each one faster and better, as good as I could (I'm not that great racing but I am better than the casual PS3 player). The guy was soooo impressed! Corner after corner, me clipping the apex, two tires in the air over rumble strips, and he was just going WAH! WAHHH! WAAAH!!! After the fourth lap some of his buddies had shown up and I now had an audience. They were amazed that the waegook (foreigner) was kicking ass in the game.

Two more laps and a younger Korean kid showed up. National pride was restored as he managed to show me how it REALLY is done, posting lap times on Midfield Raceway that were two to three seconds faster than mine...

Two days later the PX on my Army base had the game for sale and I then had my fill of GT4!
 
nostalgic japanese cars was why i bought GT5 !

Bring that to my house and you would be family too!
 
I often look exclusively for Japanese rooms online. Ive found these to be the most reliable, least likely to get pointlessly kicked and best racing rooms online.

I have stopped going into French rooms, they seem to be the quickest to kick you out for having a US flag next to your psn tag. One, I'm not even born in the US and I am half French, and two, they should be grateful they don't speak German...
 
*insert joke about Japanese drivers here*.
I avoid most non-US rooms, simply because they usually kick at the first sight of the US flag. I'll have to give the Japanese rooms a shot next time.

It's a shame really, I'm 13, and would never think to crash into somebody like that.

Off-topic, I'm just curious why you keep saying you're 13 all the time. Congratulations.

We get it, put it in your sig or the space next to your name.

To be honest it hasn't come to mind why, it's probably due to the fact you don't get many 13 year old's with a level of maturity like mine.

Though I could be wrong.

Humble bragging at it's finest!
 
Communication?
I was in a room where we not only formed a queue but waited for each other after the barrier so that we could finish together. All the players were British, it might seem weird but Brits really like queues.
Another room we would rotate the winner, we'd all get to 195 laps and then pass the line in a set order. Mixture of Brits and Dutch guys.
It's amazing what can be achieved by simply talking to players.

You don´t HAVE to show mature thinking all the way at the age of 13, my friend. Just continue the way you think it´s good, and then it´s good. And don´t even think about changing your racing behaviour :D

Those takes are wonderful. Got so much Japanese classics in my hangar. Didn´t even drive them, now I´ll do. With the exception of the 2000GT, which I probably never will take out of my garage :) It´s just too nice to drive...
