Assuming you are Asian, since you were born in Taiwan, how do you feel you've been treated as a foreigner in Japan? And have you been treated differently from a western-looking (ie blonde hair, blue eyes) foreigner? Japan's intense xenophobia for other Asian gaijin has always been a source of confusion for me.
