I'm sure someone else has probably asked this as well, but I have noticed it too. Why when we see another foreigner in Japan do we ignore each other?
Granted, I live on a military base so my situation is different than say an english teacher or company worker who comes over here, but when I am no where near a base and see another foreigner, its like we both go out of the way to avoid each other. I can admit I do it too. But I usually don't think about it until afterwards.
I have been in this situation numerous times, and I feel guilty afterwards, like I should have made an effort to say hello, and wonder if they thought the same thing. What is your opinion on this?
