this has more to do with human nature, they see Singapore as a Chinese society and this came from their media and stuff they hear...

In Japan nothing works unless you can read and speak Japanese. You notice that the examples you listed speak a single language overwhelmingly? Plus these countries have a much stronger cultural identity. Our own cultural identity is a mishmash and because we need to cater to seniors who can't read english, we got translated signage like everywhere on mass transit. Unless their employers impose a rule to make their employees learn english.... you will see them continue to use mandarin

Once you speak/read/understand Japanese language, Japan holiday is many times more enjoyable!

I would agree if I do not even speak a single word of Japanese, my trip in Karuizawa would not have been as enjoyable as it was :s12:

dunno leh i was thinking isit the tiongs spoilt it.

4 days here liao, feel like they dont really like foreigners in general, just like us sinkies dont like foreigners as well.

Cannot lump together. It takes two to tango. Bet if you look like takeshi kaneshiro, things will be different.

Like it or not, some have the universal kiam pa or kiam gan face
