@Cinlouxx that's nice of you to say : )

what is the first song playing in the background? also how do they treat hispanics or people who look middle eastern? i get mistaken to be a middle eastern all the time that's why i put that in their. lol

[ippikicoqui]

the first song is mahmoud el esseily and the song is el fastan el abyad.

they don't really treat hispanics or middle easterns any different. all foreigners are kind of grouped together as foreigners. so it depends on the Japanese person how you will get treated. it's not so much like the West where you are classified individually by a specific ethnicity :)

[hotlatinob0y]

do Japanese women like hispanics? :P

[ippikicoqui]

@Cinlouxx I didn't realize that I said "mitre" I meant to say "more" sorry. lol. At least you understood.
