You did not know that because you already knew that she was not, correctly.

コンニチワ!

Most Japanese thought I was Japanese too, but in fact I am Britamerasian.

(and I am considering collecting another nationality or two What do you think, Swigermabritamerasian?)

Does that make me Germacherocajun?

That's the weirdest thing about Asia - If you look like a local you get approached and spoken to in the local tongue. Yet, if you look foreign, out comes the English.

That's not so weird is it...?

Yes and no. IMO everyone should speak their own countries language until they know for sure you cannot understand what they are saying. Whose to say the person standing in front of you is really a foreigner? I know that is not how the world works, especially in Asia, but it should. It gives people who have put the effort into learning the language a chance to actually use what they've learned - Does it make sense that a shopkeep in a Nick-Nack store should say 1000 yen in Japanese to an Asian man and then 1000 yen in English to the Indian man?

Well, at least most of the Japanese I met were quite polite, unlike the French...

This is all I know of Tokyo
