Does this apply in general? like around Tokyo, because I have a problem where I tend to do that all the time here. Not stare but look at people walking past. |
Yeah, that's what happened to me when I first got here. No staring, just the eye-ball wandering, when it meets eyes people don't really know how to respond. Buy if you're clearly a foreigner it's not to unexpected I suppose.
Just don't expect the same reactions as back home.
