Well I usually dont try to stand out when i go to another country. Given that majority of Japanese do not wear traditional clothing i would say it would depend of the circumstances. If i was going to a matsuri then maybe yes but otherwise i would just wear what im comfortable with. Im more concerned about proper etiquette in Japan than i am clothing.

I'd wear what I'm comfortable with, thought I wouldn't want to draw attention to myself or anything. So I'd rather just wear something normal and comfortable, especially if travelling.

Dressing as a maid shouldn't draw as much attention in Japan as the UK.
That would the best opportunity, lol

Just wear it the right way and pray that no one looks at you funny


My Life Sucks- The kids I babysit have drooled, ripped or drawn on all of the cards and put the cars with the little people in the microwave!

I have no Friends- The cats have scratched and destroyed all of the DVDs!

I always owe someone- In fact I put two os in it!

I always ruin my clothes with Bleach!- The show is so dom suspensful I spill my grape soda on them!

But . . .I'll live.

I would wear what I feel comfortable in, and given my height and size, I doubt I could find any Japanese female clothing that'd fit me anyway, so yeah, clothes from home is my only option. Even if I was my perfect size, I still have the height thing.

Well good, for a minute there we were afraid you'd escaped from a looney house. You would not last long if you had . . .
