Yes, definitely, I can imagine you have paied much efforts, because I
know you have written your opinion in Japanese.  So, I am now
supporting your effort to create fj.life.in-japan.

You say, 'they' do not accept you as their colleague ?  If so, I can
understand your angry.  However, in this news group, someone (although
may be small) showed their friendship, didn't they ?  So, I may say to
you that you would not become desparate to behave yourself.  Please be
patient, and let's talk about it on our new fj.life.in-japan, where
many people would know how you are limited or what kind of problems
you have in Japan.  As you can say your opinion in Japanese, your
article should be read by many netters.

>    -> Don't Japanese stereotype foreigners?

Is this true ? Please tell me more about this.

Sorry, I will pay more effort to support you in this NG.
