Cool so we shouldn’t try to go to Japan if we don’t speak the language is what I got from this. Aka gate keeping. You are worse than the people you are trying to admonish in the beginning of your comment.
- diceduckmonk 4y ago> Aka gate keeping. I've traveled all 47 prefectures and I had a good chuckle at OP's comment. Among locals, Roppongi has a reputation of having one of the highest concentration of trashy foreigners. Classic with main character vibes.
- ianpenney 4y agoLearning to say the following in the language of the land will get you further than 99% of tourists. Hello Please Thank you Excuse me I’m sorry Most notably - speaking Catalan instead of Spanish in Barcelona will endear you to locals in a way you wouldn’t believe. You do you, though. I had to google the hiragana for that phrase. I can’t read Japanese worth a damn.
