'Paris Syndrome' strikes Japanese

[amerijin]

A dozen or so Japanese tourists a year have to be repatriated from the French capital, after falling prey to what's become known as "Paris syndrome".

That is what some polite Japanese tourists suffer when they discover that Parisians can be rude or the city does not meet their expectations.

The experience can apparently be too stressful for some and they suffer a psychiatric breakdown.

A timely reminder to use the "search" function to check if stories have been posted before.

While some FG's (including me) are prone to post thread names that are not obviously linked to the story, a search for "Paris syndrome" does reveals the 2004-7 thread about this (despite the arguably ambiguous title): "Japanese Can't Handle Being Fucked In Paris".

Taro-san spotted that 2006 re-hash by BBC's Caroline Wyatt at the time, but I just noticed that Ms Wyatt - or is that Dr Wyatt - even offers free medical advice at the end:

However, the only permanent cure is to go back to Japan - never to return to Paris.

I noticed that you didn't complain when I Googled that "Goats of Gondwanaland" calendar for you, last fall.

Reverse Weeaboo (link probably NSFW)!

But that reminds me, we have the term "weeaboo" to describe someone who expects Japan to be as perfect and exciting as it is in fictional media. Is there a term for Japanese that view Western countries as idealized places where everyone is polite to each other?

Well, that was different. We were into a true culture experience there!

Paris Syndrome - The Play

...The show depicts the real-life phenomenon of the extreme culture shock experienced by some Japanese women when visiting Paris...Each year, a dozen or so 30-something Japanese women vacation in Paris, only to lose their minds. The only cure is never to go back. Watch as the six women of Ex.Pgirl journey to their own 'Paris,' combining theatrical, musical and cinematic genres into a riotous world of desires, delusion and disappointment. In a one-of-a-kind theatrical event driven by language games, spoken scenes,video interviews, vaudeville and dance, Ex.Pgirl investigates themes of identity, gender, place, expectations and belonging...all through a multicultural lens...
