True, true. Lots of bad blood there. I imagine a lot of the Laoren in your neck of the woods can remember when the flag flying outside had the rising sun on it. Chinese don't like the Japanese much.

Funny thing, when I first met my in-laws they were a bit hesitant about their daughter marrying a foriegner. At first they actually forbid it but then they got to me meet me and realized that I wasn't a total barbarian. So, it was ok that their daughter married an American. My Mother in-law did mention, however, that if I was Japanese there would have been no way in hell that I'd marry her daughter.
