I am in Tokyo now. I speak English they replied to me in Japanese but no problem, chicken and duck talking. With universal sign language, surprisingly we understand each other
I bought Lonely Planet phrase book & get some help from reception to write me in Japanese things that I need to know. This is my 3rd day, so far so good.
Is not their are not friendly, sometimes they are shy. Pls do not mistaken they are not friendly to tourist/foreigner. Learn some Japanese useful phrase. It keeps you connect with the locals.

In Tokyo now. This is my 2nd day in Japan... I find it quite suffering..
1. All their restaurant serve food without spoon. Only chopstick....
2. Those Japanese can hear me speaking Cantonese with my brother. But still keep speaking Japanese with us.
I don't understand it. I already tell them sorry I am not Japanese. Then order food by pointing at the picture on the menu. They still keep reply me in Japanese.. Why!!!!
3. I find that the people there are less friendly. They won't talk to foreigners. The only place that I find their people is a bit helpful is the JR station. Mayb bcoz I holder a green class JR pass?
Sifus please teach me how to integrate with them better or at least a easier way to get them help me.. I am finding this trip hard and very hard for me to enjoy and I still have 7 days to go
