HOM tells me he visits the japanese chinatown. was it good? he hesitates. it was very chinese, he says. cookie cutter snack stalls, masses of eateries, hard sell store holders, unsuspecting tourists. all chinese who have mastered japanese. which, in a nutshell, summarizes the chinese psyche, i say. heavy on food and profitability, capable of quality but not if it infringes on quantity.
it serves you right, i tell HOM. the last place i would go to, as a chinese, in japan, is chinatown.
