He said people kept speaking to them in Japanese, especially his mother. Much confusion and hilarity would ensue. He did say he learned to bow properly and say "thank you".

I haven't spent much time in Japan, but would like to visit for something on the order of a monty, time and funds (an expensive place to hang out) available.
And I'm with you. It would have been fun to have been on the trip.
Funny, I found when I tried to speak Japanese to them, they answered in English, but if I spoke English, they answered in Japanese...
Funny, you don't look Japanese.
My client saw the humor in the situation.
While in Tokay with my canoe club shipmates, we went to a play that was put on by all women. The male parts were women in costume. It was all in Japanese but was the funniest play I have ever seen. It was totally the acting, or the impulse to laugh because everyone else was laughing. I think it was the acting because I could follow the plot line with no trouble.
I've heard lots of great Navy stories about Japan. A favorite was a cousin stuck on Adak who got a trip there. Horny, and not knowing his way around, he had several hot baths, but alas no.........
