BTW love it so far. Been in Tokyo and moving onto Kyoto today. Are Japanese people always unbelievably kind and courteous or is it just because we are tourists? I use iFollow a lot and it works fine. (Aside from the usual problems of out of sync audio, visual glitches and poor camera work.) I think @Kagoshimaowl uses it all the time. Yeah, Japanese people are extremely courteous, and their kindness is infectious. I've definitely become a better person for having lived here. Just to add a dash of cynicism, it's sometimes hard to discern what's genuine, as 'honne' and 'tatemae' (Real feelings and public persona) are an important concept in Japanese culture. But it's a wonderful place. Have a great trip! And Costello, before you ask, I'm shorter than 6ft. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my normally offhand youngest is bowing and saying thank you all the time. It’s an absolute delight We have just left Tokyo on the Bullet train and the conductor bows on entering and before leaving the carriage. Love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 As an aside but I’m sure of interest to some on here, I went into a bar and tried craft beers. Needless to say it was total guesswork but every one I tried was to die for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleblue Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) I live in Tokyo and can also confirm iFollow works fine here as-is with no special sauce required. Used it for every game since iFollow started :) Edited August 23, 2019 by littleblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A E Neuman NYowl Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Do not know if it is the the same in Japan, I am 6ft 2 inch and when I was in Hong Kong I had Chinese people pointing and taking photos. I think they thought a victorian freak show that had come into town, it was either my height or my wife's beard that was attracting attention. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrbuk Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Not sure what I expected opening this thread, but I'm 6ft 4 and love a craft beer so am packing my bags, ready to fly out to Japan and be stared at by the ever so polite locals. (My mate, who's married to a Chinese girl, says that height and blonde hair are a sign of affluence in the East so well received, though she could have just been making him feel better about all the staring - he's also 6ft 4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
