    Japanese people can be just as sarcastic as English speakers. It flies over your head unless you’re actually good at the language. Same as English.

      I should have said they have their own type of sarcasm but it’s different; you wouldn’t, for instance, respond to a simple question with the obvious opposite of the truth (e.g. “I just love the cold” when asked if you like winter).
