That tag is for you @tango42 . Don’t say I’ve never done anything for you
It’s interesting how the writer talks about all the food he eats, but never really gives feedback about how they taste. Makes me wonder if he liked the aboriginal cuisine or not.
I think what amazes me most is that these visitors from the US and Europe have zero mandarin abilities, aren’t afraid they cannot speak the language and can still have a great time. Personally, that’s one of my biggest fears, not being able to successfully communicate my message to the person I’m speaking to. Despite planning to go to Japan at the end of the year for the Tour of Okinawa with a group of friends, still a bit nervous about not being able to speak Japanese.
I’ve read countless blog posts and articles about cycling the east coast and yet…I have not made the journey myself, gotta do this.
I’'ve been to Okinawa earlier this year. With a bit of English and Chinese you’ll be fine basically everywhere. My wife and I don’t speak a word of Japanese and in a week or so we’ve had 0 issues even in small restaurants in the middle of nowhere.
