Using my extensive knowledge of japanese culture and language due to reading Shogun, coupled with the picture you have posted above, I have come to the conclusion that you are a white post-op transsexual. You're a chick with man-parts.

oh so ture

Shogun >3 everything ever written

Thor, you should be a lawyer!

People are telling me if I don't shave for a day and wear a hat it adds 10yrs :-/

I'm the opposite. I put on a hat once and got pulled over by a cop, and was asked, "Son, are you old enough to drive?" That was the only reason I was stopped. And I'm 23

36

then again, I always thought there was something wrong with your face...

Hat = carded.

No hat = not carded.

I think its the hairline...

In Shogun they say that men just say "Domo" and the rest is only for women (and maybe peasants).

for what it's worth, I did take a semester of japanese, and it was explained to me like this:

If you're eating dinner, and your brother pases you the salt, you say "Domo".
if you're father or your boss passes you the salt, you say "Domo Arigato"
If the emporer of japan passes you the salt, you say "Domo Arigato Gozaimasu"

but I was taught by a woman, so maybe the rules would be different if I were taught by a man... (don't know that much about the culture beyond her class and martial arts)

I was kinda joking, and the book is set in 1600 so theres the whole social class system to deal with too. But in the book, men said "Domo" to those of their own social level, while women would says "Domo Arigato" or "Domo Arigato Gozaimasu". A man would only use those terms when speaking to someone of a higher social class, or when expressing extreme gratitude.

By the end of the book you do pick up a little bit of japanese due to the fact Clavell immerses you in it throughout the book, and you learn along with Blackthorne.

Domo doesnt even mean thank you, techincally it means 'very much,' but over the years, it has been adopted as 'thanks.' (like 'cool' has been adopted as something that is interesting) People used to say domo arigatou, because it literally means 'very much thanks,' but barely anybody says it anymore.

Trust me, nobody says domo over there, EVERYONE uses Arigatou Gozaimasu.

Dont even get me started on Kore wa NanDesuka and Nande Korewa.
