/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

White girl, just got back from vaycay in Japan, mostly Southern-ish, no Tokyo.

Things to bring:
x hand towel. Few bathrooms had dryers, only rest stops had paper towels
x sunscreen. dat sun.
x your better clothes.

BE GOOD LOOKING.

I am a skinny white female, and I packed some casual dresses, some nice shorts and jeans with boots. Did my hair and face every morning. Nothing intense, doesn't have to be your sunday best. Just effort. The number one style in Japan is just being stylish. Keep up your appearances and your manners and any slip-ups or misunderstandings will be forgiven. I even wore leggings with a skirt and besides the normal boy-looks, no dirty stares or overt comments.

I spoke passing Japanese, and it was appreciated. The thing about girls drinking, it's really just not cool to be drunk outside. They run a polite and tidy ship, but that's why it's general a safer place for a woman to travel alone.

I had no problems whatsoever. If you mind your manners, dress nicely, and know some common expressions, simple questions, you should be fine. Bath-house etiquette is something you should learn in case.

My last day I wore a v-neck dress for the plane-trip. Got some more looks than usual. It's not so much that people will go out of their way to be an ass to you, it's moreso that you'll feel very singled-out if you keep dem bitties on display. Feels weird at first, especially since it's hot, but I got used to it quickly.

Which could also be why all of the softcore magazines at 7-11 are Japanese chicks with nothing but their tits out.

Oh god shopping. It's an overwhelming experience. I went to a department store on a Friday and it's attentive overload.

If you have any specific questions OP, I'd be happy to answer. I had a great time. Prepare to return to America and being disgusted by our public everything and our ugly citizens. I find a lot of the claims that people make on Japan being harsh to be exaggerations
