Hi! Yesterday, I remembered a Japanese skit I saw nearly two decades ago. It took some time to track it down, but I eventually found it on YouTube, where it had been uploaded 16 years ago. The quality reflects its age, but it's still just as funny. I thought I'd share it here. The skit plays on cultural differences and stereotypes in a lighthearted way, focusing on how some Japanese customs can seem strange to outsiders. In it, there are two Japanese people, a man and a woman, sitting in a restaurant, discussing a recent trip to Australia, where the man describes a series of pranks they pulled on "gullible foreigners." The following is a transcript of their conversation: Man: "I just got back from Australia, you should see what they are getting away with at our restaurants down there!" Woman: "Huh?" "We serve this fish", says the man, pointing at his dish, "raw!" "WHAT? Really?" "Really!", he continues "and we tell them it's a 'Japanese delicacy'!" "And they believe you?" asks the woma
