Where to buy COPIC markers in Tokyo
Because my photo of the markers received so many shares, I realised that many artists are interested about the markers and perhaps want to know where to buy them from. Hence I wrote this guide for artists to shop in COPIC heaven aka Tokyo. ★ UPDATE NOV 2017: Please refer to my new article for latest updates on COPIC marker shopping! >>> Ultimate Guide to Copic marker shopping in Tokyo, Japan
He-he, half Japanese ... sounds very cool.
ReplyDeleteDid You ever heard any racist jokes toward You in Japan?
I heard several times something like: 'Watch Your staff, especially
if Chinese people near'; or 'Japanese people doesn't break law,
only chinese'. Kinda weird.
Some people are very fixed on racist things. Like once
I was showing directions to my friend, and told him to stay close
to that 'black' car, I was surprised that he started chaseing another
white car. When I asked him why, he pointed for a black guy driving it . :lol:
Thanks, good one
ewww ...
I didn't experience too much racist problem because I look like a Japanese...
DeleteBut then again some Japanese like my scholarship office forced us to follow Japanese way that I hated.
I don't consider following a black guy car racist. Racist to me is like when someone walking on the street (when i was in SF) and shouted at me to go back to China. Or when me and my Taiwanese friend tried to rent an apartment and the manager didn't want to because we were Chinese... or the French chef chasing us for the tips after we left only to realise we had already given him...
You are right about racism, but that kind racism You tell us is aggressive racism.
DeleteIn described situation following black guy was also racism. You know, it is old psychological test, when they show You different shapes with mixed pattern, which makes problems to choose right one. There was very easy to pickup black car based on car colour, but my friend prefer to follow black guy driving white car, he did it automatically without thinking, because word black is deeply associated with skin color in his brains. It is very deep and most common type of racism.
Glad to see You :)
