I visited Japan back in March for a month and had an amazing time. I learned a lot about what I like to do, and who I want to be around. I will be going again in March again...but for a week this time. I am a large (XXL) man who is very animated and excited about everything. I got a large beard and I am always smiling and complimenting everyone I meet. I think my outgoing nature made a lot of people who I talked to uncomfortable/intimidated. I understand that people in Japan are more reserved and more humble, but I can't stop smiling at everything and complimenting people (That shirt is so cool, I like your hair, This food/drink is amazing you rock, You're awesome at xxx video game, etc). I felt a lot more comfortable at the airbnb's and escort services because they loved speaking passionately about things.
I guess my question is, what should I watch for the next time I go? What types of gestures and tones should I limit/avoid? What are some things I can do/say to show my pleasure/appreciation for something.
