Fascinating story. The luxuries enjoyed by Americans in post-war Japan spread to the rest of the “expat” world and was addressed and criticized in the book The Ugly American.

Thanks for the link. Sounds like the life of American expats across Asia for many years. My Family spend 2 years in HK when I was young. Some of the Americans we knew there still live there. They have trouble adjusting to life stateside. Mainly due to no help in the house or special treatment.
