Jspan is just one country out of many, with regular people living out their daily lives just like anywhere else on Earth. But talk about it online or real life with people from other parts of the world, and they act like only certain people are "worthy" to have a discussion about the people, culture, entertainment, language etc.

After living in Japan for so long, I'd like to talk to more people about my past experiences and what's going on over there nowadays. But it gets the wrong reaction out of people, as if there's no way I could know anything about that Japan. So I end up having to bottle up several years of my life. But talk about Europe Australia Latin America Africa etc and people seem more receptive. Why is that?
