[@lanoche]

Lmao that reminds me of a joke these two legendary but have already passed away group of stand up comedians told. For context they're Filipino stand up going to Rome to do a stand up comedy for the Filipino community there. And the first comedian was told to do nothing cause the joke was he doesn't know English. But being stubborn he went and lined up for them instead. First Comedian: I was in the immigration line, there were 2 other people before me, First was British, Second was American, and I was the third so I listened. First Comedian: When the British came up the immigration officer asked: "Will you stay here for long sir?" The American replied: "I'm afraid not". First Comedian: Then the American person's turn, he said, "I'm afraid so." First Comedian: And there was me the 3rd in line, the immigration asked: "Are going stay here for long sir?" First Comedian: My reply? Second Comedian: What was your reply? First Comedian: "I'M NOT AFRAID!" Second Comedian: Ah shit. Of course it's not word for word translation of the whole interaction cause that will be hard since they're using words that don't really have any English equivalent during that joke.

[@lucasn0tch]

I have been to Japan four times. There is a separate line for Japanese citizens "returning to their homeland" from foreign visitors at the immigration area of both Narita and Haneda Airports in Tokyo. I cannot say if the same is true for other Japanese airports with international passengers flight services like Kansai Airport in Osaka, Chubu Centrair Airport near Nagoya, Fukuoka Airport, etc. I also know that at JFK Airport, which is in New York City, there is a separate line for American citizens and Canadian visitors at the cramped immigration area in Terminal 7. When I returned from my trip from Singapore in late 2022, there was no such line at Newark Liberty International Airport (the closest airport with intercontinental services to Manhattan).

[@lostinthemeta9266]

I don't think I've spoken at immigration for the last dozen times I've been there. You just fill out the little form, and they just glare at you.

[@SpacePopeIII]

Also I've found they either speak English, will read off an English script, or point to a sign in English at immigration. English is the lingua franca so it works in our favor when going to foreign countries, usually. Meanwhile Japanese is really only spoken in Japan... So yeah no wonder US customs officers don't speak it. But I'd imagine LAX would have a few translators if they really needed one.

[@silverwolfe3636]

Shakespeare is meant to seen and heard, not read. When it is performed by proper actors, it is very easy to understand for english speakers. The problem is most people's experience with Shakespeare is reading round robin in a high school classroom with a bunch of shy acne covered teens whose voices are squeaking and just all around awkward.

Don't worry you'll be on cloud nine soon. Miko: Vacation.

[@jagerbombasstic]

The key is to look bored and relaxed. If you have that down sometimes they don’t even ask questions. I went through Japanese, Dutch, German, swiss, and American customs a bunch of times this year. I never got questioned more then the normal 2, why/where and how long. I also used mobile entry for the states a few times which is literally nonverbal. Think the swiss my first time this year was the hardest but literally just one extra question which was what do you do for work. When I said engineer he just nodded and stamped. My worst ever was in high school coming back from Ireland. It wasn’t customs though it was Irish TSA. I was threatened with being arrested because I pointed at my bag when they were checking it. I was on no sleep and fighting the worst food poisoning of my life so I honestly can’t remember much of it.

You know, I do find it odd that customs wouldn’t have anyone working there who understood Japanese.
