—The joy of drinking water right out of the faucet. (Female, 39)
—Even if I’m dealing with a difficult or unreasonable situation, I never show my true colors and keep my feelings to myself. (Female, 24)

The comments from sore readers were much better though. Here are some of the good ones:
--Complimenting his fellow gaijin friend/coworker/stranger for such amazing skills to handle chopsticks.
--When I smoke irregardless of who is sitting nearby.
-- When I pretend to be asleep on the Tokyo Subway and refuse to offer my seat for pregnant women.
--the only words in my vocabulary are sugoi, kawaii and oishii
--Surprised nobody mentioned the four seasons, which only happen in Japan.
--My girlfriend came over the other day and said "Make me feel like a Japanese woman!"
I told her to do unpaid overtime.
