The experience of being a westerner in China is much worse than in Japan IME. I can’t speak for India or the continent of Africa, but in the latter case I’d guess that it varies widely by country.
- icelancer 8y agoI've enjoyed my time in China much more than Japan as a "westerner," and I'm Japanese-American.
