But seriously, if you are determined to meet and hook up with a new-half (and I agree - very very sexy and fem!) then you will have to be prepared to be told 'no' a lot. The attitude towards westerners entering into many 'underground' scenes can be that of refusal or at the very least, disapproval of you being there - sad but true. Sorry about that.
Someone else (who lives there too) brought up the very good point of being able to speak the language. I guess this is a slight given... but it is really true. You will be taken more seriously - even treated with much more respect - if you are able to communicate clearly and effectively.
Like I said...Japan is an amazing vibrant cool place but it is also quite a sexist, racist and at times, demoralizing place too (as is any country that is not your own  )
Honestly, good luck and I know you probably love the place! I hope you are able to meet a great variety of people and some sexy new half gurls too  |
Which is probably why my question will be NO. I noticed this in Japan too, but I really don't mind. I understand that they have their own special thing going on, and they don't want a bunch of foreigners who don't understand the etiquette or cultural sensitivities crowding them out.
