Ruminations

Just before the bus pulled away from this bus stop this evening on the way home from work, a couple of Japanese tourists asked the bus driver, in halting English, if the bus was going where they wanted to go.

There was a guy already on the bus who looked Japanese, but from his accent he'd been in Australia most of his life, and didn't know how to speak Japanese.

It made me wonder - how many white guys are there who've spent their entire life in Japan and don't know how to speak English?
