Wood, that's because they thought you were a fuckin' giant (you are)

Big if true

Bruh I think you were taller than a good 99% of the native population

taller than 99% of people in general

Their anime looks like us

The Asians that did freak out (I guess Japanese are too polite) were South Asians living in Japan. Several Thais, Phillipinos, Viets and Laos approached me.

Did they think you were someone famous?

@Salo Saloson No I was clearly a lost dork

And not wealthy

I'm going to Asia this summer for a few weeks

What part?

Where to Lawrence

Nepal

Climbing Everest?

No, I wish, its for ROTC. I'm spending 3 weeks with the Nepalese Military

Oh dude thats pretty cool

Dude jealous

Always wanted to go to Nepal

I had a Nepali co-worker in Japan (they are so desperate for English speakers they hire Nepali). She was the first person I ever heard proudly tell people she avoided dating non-Nepali because she wanted to carry on their bloodline / legacy. And no one called her racist.

You’ll have to post a lot of pics

I keep seeing adverts for English teachers in places like Japan or Korea

and... I would be so godamn nervous about doing that

I don't know exactly what I'll be doing there yet, but my buddy went last year for the same reason and they spent a week in Kathmandu, a week at the Military Academy there, and a week building mud huts in some village.

how much work is involved in building mud huts?

step 1: get mud
step 2: make it sorta brick shaped
step 3: build hut
rinse, repeat

It should be interesting

Physical labor but uh. Not mentally taxing yeah.

The roads over there are spooky

@Salo Saloson you could also do a mud hut with wattle at the structural element and mud smeared on

I’ve been to a part of India near there

Roads are 30000% yikes

Railroads were all built by the English

I was on some pretty bad roads today. Went up to some tiny town by the Canadian Border

I want to say some airport over there near Sikkim or Nepal is the most dangerous on earth

Woah some of you have white names discord is not working

Normal on my end

Also yes new rule: if you go abroad post cool pics

I want to see all the Buddhist temples in Kathmandu

Are they mostly Buddhist or Hindu?

I think a bit of both

Makes sense yeah
