Looking to make some friends

Hi Chloe!

I'm in my late 20s and pretty early on in my journey. I don't have any connections with other neurodivergent people so it would be nice to get to know some new people. 

My hobbies include digital art, board games, video games, Japanese, reading, and watching YouTube. I've watched some Korean Dramas that I've really enjoyed (Sweet Home, All of Us Are Dead). I like cooking but destroy pretty much anything I try to bake with the exception of brownies and New York cheesecake! 

Take care,

Pip 

Hi. If you don't mind me asking, have you been to Japan? I spent a bit of time working out there many moons ago. Very different culture (and cuisine!).  Sadly I didn't learn much of the language and most of what i learned I have forgotten. sumimasen, nihongo warkarimasen!  :-)  .... although I do have a japanese dictionary on the shelf behind me!

nope I've never been to Japan I want to go to Korea though i did have loads of learning books of Japanese and Korea 

Hi Blossom. If you dont mind me asking, how did the date go? well i hope!
it's no problem if you would rather not say.

yes he's a a lovely guy. he didn't tell me much about the country but I do know that it a lovely one from the videos I used to watch.

Good to hear. I hope he is a decent chap.

I mention the rules as they are a VERY rigid society. Social conformity is beaten in to the children from a young age. 

When i first went there, there was a big sign across the arrivals hall at tokyo narita airport saying, "follow the rules"! ... they really dont want the gaigin causing trouble!  :-) ... but as long as you are respuctful and, as i say, follow the rules, it is great.

the date went really well I've got another date tomorrow ofc rules in another country is important 

I hope the date went well.

The people are nice ... just be sure to follow the rules!  :-)  

the the guy i went on a date with on Sunday said he been and loved it there said the people are so nice  

Japan is very different, but i guess your choice of username hints that you have good awareness of some of it.

If you do go, and are going for some time, i strongly suggest learning katakana. I created a set of flash cards with the katakana symbol on one side and the english pronunciation on the other ... very helpful.

As all foreign words are spelled out in katakana, all menu items for western food are written in katakana. This makes ordering much easier on the days when you dont feel like being adventurous and just want a pizza funghi (or whatever).

I hope you get to go some time and have someone to share the experience with.
