This can be pretty frustrating for an American(or English speaker or someone who looks white) in Japan.

just responding to the original poster. The same exact story can be told in Japan, and it can get frustrating.

I don`t have that problem. Usually people speak to me in Japanese quickly, so I can`t always understand what they say.
Although when I used to do language exchanges, they did end up being mostly in English, but that was partly because some of the people had no clue how to teach Japanese.
