How To make Friends when You are Alone in Japan

[akiyamine]

Hey man, so you wanna go to Japan for few weeks but you're alone ?
You are afraid that you will get lonely ? You want to get a good experience ?
This is the right post right there.

Travel alone is always kinda hard at first, especially if you are the shy kind.
I've never been shy myself but i've always admired those who can make connection and have fun with people they don't even know !
Like they have some magic, i'm sure you want to have it too.
If you want to travel alone in Japan, its a skill that you probably want to have if you hope to make tons of japanese friends everyday, in every city you go !

1) The first thing is to feel happy ! you are in Japan ! Yes, the country you always wanted to go to ! don't be afraid to SMILE !!
Be in the moment and be curious ! Curiosity is one of the most important thing because its really authentic !
You see someone walking a pink-dog ? Laugh at it and tell the man you find this funny !
You see a beautiful girl with a big strange hat ? Tell her !
Its unlimited ! Do whatever you wanna do !

2) You are looking for an interesting place to see ? Close your ******* "JAPAN GUIDE" book and ask someone : "Do you know an interesting place around here ?" It will maybe make him laugh a little because you are the tourist ! you should know ! whatever, we are not like other tourists right ? haha
Even if you know where to go, ask anyway ! They will probably show you places that are not in your book ! They ask you to go with you !
Accept ! Accept every opportunity so your trip becomes more random and fun !

3) This one is the most important in my opinion !
Let all your skills and talent be known ! You see a someone playing basketball with his friend and you did some basketball few years ago ?
Go ask if you can play alittle with them, impress them, have fun ! After few minutes ask if they know the city well, if they can show you some spots ! Its time to eat? Ask to eat with them ! It will not kill you if they say no they are busy or things like this, just be cool !

Pratical situation (not serious) :
