Japanese person that can speak proper English? No way? :0
:iconakira-shock:
Oh i can speak both well :D i was born in Hawaii :D hehe
:iconsquawks:
Hah. That explains it. I had a hard time communicating during my vacation in Japan because almost everybody couldn't speak English.
:iconakira-shock:
yeah....its a lot better now though. lol that might be hard to believe, but now there are more foreigners living there so its not TOO bad unless you go to the countryside then good luck :D how did you like it? do you go often?

I only went once so far, Tokyo. It was pretty incredible, I uploaded some pictures in my dA gallery, I might upload more soon. People were really really nice, I remember that I had to take the train in order to get to the hotel from Narita Airport. I was feeling sick, threw up in a paper bag I got from the airport I departed, but as with paper and liquids, it started to leak through. So this older woman that was sitting across me saw it and took all of her stuff from her plastic grocery store bag and gave it to me. She made a this gesture of put that dirty bag in the plastic bag. I thanked her in Japanese and a small bow.

Maybe next time I will visit Kyoto and those nice temples. What I liked the most were the downtown places. I remember that me and my mate were lost when we were on our way to Ghibli Museum. But it was a nice stroll, walking through the neighborhoods of Mitaka. Typical streets and houses.
