    are you Japanese? I thought the term 'Jap' was offensive, maybe I was wrong.

    I shall sit and wait to see if you get flamed for it

    Why he came to Hong Kong looking for "japs" one can only guess.

    actually, it's funny but that kind of ignorance does exist. I used to work with a South African chappy, and when I told him I was moving to Hong Kong he said he too had wanted to visit Japan for a long time. I thought he was joking but, apparently not. Poor bloke. He is now enlightened.

    Yeah I got a lot of that when I made my plans to move here.. When I brought my cat to the vet to prepare for the trip, the receptionist was "cool, Hong Kong! But do you speak any Japanese?" DOH!

    But to come in here, you're ALREADY in the country, then go to an expat forum looking for "japs" or "other asians"... wtf?

    Is there some sort of medical or psychological condition for Swedish guys having a fetish for Japanese women?

    I have been asked...

    Hong Kong? That's the capital of Japan, right?
