I said "have a good day" in Japanese to a convenience store worker and his face lit up with a huge semi shocked smile.

99% of the things that you "Should Not Do in Japan" are due to Yakuzas.

Go-karts on public roads in Japan are heartily disliked. We Japanese call them " stupid cars.”

Foreigners “Thank you” in Japanese always hits different because try to speak other language even they aren’t fluent is kinda cute and I think that is one of the way to show their respect to local people.

In my country you don't casually talk with service workers either but it would feel weird to not thank them.

Saying thank you isn't a casual conversation but an act of politeness and basic proper manners in many countries.

Saying "thank you" isn't casual conversation, it's just an automatic courtesy

at least the Yakuzas are smart enough to protect their eyes from the BRIGHT AFTERNOON *SUN*

The fault for the go karts isn't of the tourists, they're just trying a service, the fault is of who provides that service

Fun fact. In Japan, there's a saying that "eyes speak as loud mouths." People in Japan often feel more comfortable having conversations with others when they can see their eyes and not necessarily their mouths. It's the reason why western culture often has an allergic reaction for facemasks but not in Japan. It's also the reason why Japanese emoticons uses eyes for expressions while American ones use mouths like :( or :D

I love living in Okinawa because the Okinawans are quite different from the rest of Japan. They’ll have a full conversation with you if you go to their shops and they’re very sweet but also insanely fun to go party with lol. Some of the best people I’ve ever had the pleasure of living around :) not to say those from mainland aren’t as great but it’s definitely more strict socially in mainland.

The drivers of the go-karts look exactly how I imagined they would look.
