"drbgaijin"?
Yes it can be difficult to figure it out.Most people assume "Doctor" and then after that there are various interpretations.The truth is as follows:
"drb" are the initials for Douglas R. Bruce.
In Japan I found myself seeing lots of things that the Japanese didn't see.Things that were so everyday and common to them, that they no longer gave them a second thought.I have taken pictures and videos of umbrella stands/ toilets/ rice balls/ vending machines/ sandwich wrappers/ feet/ earwax spoons/ etc. etc.
In reality it is not so strange that a foreigner in a new country will see things that are considered "everyday" to the local inhabitants. But, here in Japan, I am seeing so many such interesting things that even after 8 years the flood continues to engulf me.So I decided that I had "Foreigner" eyes.The correct words for foreigner in Japanese are, "Gai-Koku-Jin" and those words are abbreviated in Japanese slang as "Gai-jin". (Gai = outside, Koku = Country, Jin = Person).Thus was born "drbgaijin"!
Here is an MC-created visual explanation about my thoughts on Japan and my Gaijin eyes.This was also the first time I tried using "Spectramatte".
