Read: A dummy in Japan. This blog is about all the things I find fascinating about Japan. And "a dummy" because I find so many every-day common things fascinating.
For example, honne and tatemae (today's post). As far as I know, Koreans don't use this as much as Japanese. So... I thought I can trust and believe that what a Korean person is saying is what he/she really means. But since they've been living in Japan for some years already, it turns out that I can't tell anymore to what extent they use tatemae. And that's where the confusion starts.
