##It was at an age even younger than the then Buruma when I sensed that my own destiny waiting ahead is what he said, to be déraciné is to be on the road forever. But I also couldn’t help thinking how his whiteness promised this kind of freedom of being a gaijin forever.
##融入。有点漂浮。
##Nothing too profound, but Buruma writes well, a globalized form of good English. Interesting anecdotes about an era that I know little of.
##我要加紧脚步了但其实也无所谓
##透过Buruma的外人视角反思了自己作为外人在他国文化中的身份。最后看到他还是离开日本了，有点难过。maybe I’m also just looking from the wrong window
##七十年代的日本文化圈，比较熟悉的有寺山修司、黑泽明和三岛由纪夫，还有宝冢和浅草。作为一个gaijin，作者遗憾自己始终不能融入日本社会，最终选择离开。但反观西方人写日本或东亚，大多也带着猎奇滤镜，エロ、グロ、ナンセンス，彼此彼此吧。就像书里有句话说的：we were both gaijin for life.and we felt safer together.
##融入。有点漂浮。
##To a romantic, open to other ways of being, Japan is full of wonders. Not that you will ever belong here. But that will set you free. And freedom is better than belonging. You see, here you can make yourself into anything you want to be.
##在东京住了六年的作者最后竟然发现一直look through the wrong window. 毛骨悚然。不过蛮喜欢描写reverse exoticism的。
