I went out tonight and bought a copy of "Let's Go Japan." The "Let's Go" series of travel books is aimed at the financially conscious (read: poor) person who, in spite of his somewhat humble financial situation (read: owes everybody he knows money), would like to go to other countries and experience other cultures first-hand (read: go to McDonalds in Thailand).

On my way home, I nearly fumbled the book when I read this fabulous line under the "Personal Safety" heading:

To avoid unwanted attention, try to blend in as much as possible.

Well, thank you very much, travel book!

Does anybody else think it might be a tad difficult for a big, dumb, obnoxious white guy to fit in while traveling in Japan?

YEAH. That's what I thought.
