    Pro tip: if you’re not a weeaboo, Japan is pretty boring and stuffy. Speaking from experience.

      Not a weaboo insofar as I don’t like anime, but I love contemporary Japanese architecture/Japandi design and their denim culture. The rest of the people in our group all have their own interests in going. I’m not particularly worried about not enjoying the trip, but losing our resident duoglot has killed a bit of my excitement

        I lived in Japan for a year and I was under a microscope for a few months until they were sure I wasn’t a fetishizing weeb. My hosts and people I met had many ways of working these inquiries into the conversation. But it became clear very soon that weebs looove Japan, but most Japanese I met don’t love them back.

      Or youre into, food, alcohol, winter sports, warfare, or beatiful country side.

      Japan has some the finest representations of the listed items in the world, and for some of those categories arguably the best.

      Japan isnt just anime and cringe.
