Although a Kansaijin trys to speak Tokyo-ben and then acts like a
Tokyo-jin, it is very easy to see through he is a Kansaijin by just a
little accent he mistakenly speaks for a native Kansaijin. And a
Kansaijin who saw through it would laugh. But I think this kind of
phenomenon exists in almost every region in the world.
