No I do not speak Japanese in any meaningful sense. A few standard phrases. 

I visited Vietnam on the same trip before Japan. I do not know the language there either. Complete opposite experience and feeling from the people there. Usually I will not speak with anyone anywhere. Won't even speak to with new people at events where the whole point is to speak to new people. One could say that I'm not much of a talker. So the feeling is not from me trying and failing to have conversations. I never tried. It is from feeling like even trying would be disrespectful. Or even existing in some places. 

I mean... okay. This just sounds like you're deciding how things are without actually interacting, it's a very weird conclusion to make. 

Sure, that is a valid take. It is mostly a feeling after all and not a scientific study. Just wanted to give another different view. 


I think what I try to convey is the lack of possibilities to interact. Something I think is possible to notice even without me trying to interact.
