Moving to Tokyo as a 6'8"(204) Viking – what should I expect socially?
Hi, everyone.
I will stay more than months in Tokyo next week.
I'll be all alone there and I'm an extroverted person. I know English and Turkish. I consider about meeting with people but I worry about if I'll be a little scary for everyone. I'm 6'8(2,04m) and 300lbs(140kg). No, I'm not gonna be Sumo Wrestler but I have a samurai style hair and viking beard. I look like a real viking. I'm 24 and I'll be there for supporting Family Company but I'll have a lot of free time. That's not my real job, I study in collage for be an Airlines Pilot in Istanbul.
I wonder do the Japanese people is afraid by my size or does it look cool? What do you think about first impressions? I'm open for any advice tho.
