So 12 hours later and no one made a joke about the other one not holding a candle to yours?

So help me out here, could you briefly describe what kokuhaku is? This comment chain has me incredibly lost :/

The struggle is real, I'm going to try get a flu shot or something before I go over next time.

Aha! Thanks for the AMA! It's really nice to see someone replying to everything, plus it's super interesting too!

Do you think I would get an incredibly surprised reaction from Japanese people in general if I tell them I'm a white male from South Africa? I've had several people from outside SA get incredibly confused by this.

Can't blame them, it isn't normal to know the nuances of a country that isn't a regional power :)
