Cogito Ergo Sum Gaijin
In Japan we, gaijin (Japanese for foreigner) have peculiar powers. Gaijin Powers. Due to our existing outside of Japanese reality we are able to move about within Japanese society with almost no effect, and no response. There are many manifestations of this power, some of which are listed below (with thanks to Gaijin Boards posters):
Gaijin Perimeter - The ability to project an invisible barrier around yourself that only the Japanese can sense and thus be repelled by it. Its range and effectiveness grows exponentially with the addition of other gaijin - particularly tall males.
Gaijin Telepathy - This is the ability that gaijin use not only to communicate with each other, but also to gather necessary information from their Japanese co-workers when such information is otherwise being withheld.
Gaijin Locator - The ability to instantly locate other gaijin amongst large crowds of Japanese people.
Gaijin Invisibility - Confusing Japanese people by speaking to them while being an invisible non-socializable entity, and forcing them to turn immediately to the nearest Japanese person and ask for confirmation of what the wind just said.
These are merely some of the powers that we Gaijin possess. Below is a picture of a Gaijin displaying not one but two of these super-secret powers. Can you guess which ones?

oddly enough, both the gaijin locator and invisibility shield. kudos to you guys for doing that on the train... but then again am i forgetting halloween?
I was thinking more Gaijin Perimeter and Invisibility....
Who is that handsome devil? Even bears love him and want to ride on his shoulders. What a class act.
I asked my JTE who the bear was, his response, "what bear?"
so there are in fact 3 skills at play.
that's amazing. The old lady next to him was totally oblivious. Only the school girls (in uniform on a sunday of course) at the back of the car noticed.
