A happy and content young couple

Due to plenty of coverage surrounding so-called herbivore men, and Japan’s apparent aversion to sexual activities — none of which seem to take into account the buoyant state of the nation’s love hotel business — it would be easy to see the Japanese as a decidedly cold, introverted race. And it’s a conclusion that the much frowned upon showing of affection in public could further corroborate.

However, as this couple clearly show without being overly tactile, healthy and happy relationships have far from had it. The only possible bone of contention being that I’m not entirely convinced they are Japanese.

    What makes you doubt they are Japanese?

      Like Peta, I can’t really explain why I have my doubts, but I really don’t think they are Japanese. And the more I look at the picture, the more I’m convinced they aren’t. That said, I could be completely and utterly wrong!

    Their facial features. After living in Japan a while it’s easier to see… Hard to explain really… Her mouth.. His eyes. Taiwanese is my best guess…

    Their hair is also a bit of a give away…

    Agreed, i could also be wrong. I guess we’ll never know 😉 Regardless of race it’s a nice heartwarming shot 🙂

      Thanks Peta.

      Yes, it’s unlikely I’ll ever see them again!
