I'm a Blender

I'm a Blender. I'm not speaking of the kind of blender that makes delicious smoothies and exotic cocktails. Although in Japan this kind of blender is called a "mixer" which I'm not referring to either. The kind of blender I am is the kind that blends into their surroundings similar to a chameleon. Which is an animal that changes it's skin to blend into it's surrounding, which I don't. I mean the subtle changes in body language, way of speaking, expressions that allow oneself to blend into society. In Japan its all about being part of a group. Even non-Japanese speaking foreigners who live in Japan for any length tend to add the expression "NE" to ends of sentences. "NE" is the equivalent of the English "Right?" or "You Know". For example: It's a beautiful day today, NE?" Speaking Japanese helps in blending into Japanese society. But speaking Japanese is not just about grammar and vocabulary, it's about attitude and subtle body language. English is spoken using bold body language, expressions and hand gestures. Japanese is about modesty, respect and subtle body language. English is like boxing where as Japanese is like ballet when spoken in it's most polite form. I speak Japanese. I eat Japanese food. I drive a Japanese car and my wife and son are Japanese. I'm a blender.When in Rome do as the Romans do.
