Basically, almost all of Japanese companies are exclusive for
foreingners who have another physical conditions, another cultural
backgrounds and another mother languages.  You may consider you are
always 'a foreigner'.  You may consider you often miss communications
with your colleagues.
Remember, at the immigration desks in Narita Airport, the indications
were 'Japanese' and 'Alien' (recently, changed into another word).

Maybe, we Japanese expect Sigourney Weaver beats you.. :-)

Even the Japanese, Japanese community has many stressers.
