We haven’t felt like we’ve lost out by not having any trouble, but there always seems to be a little of it following you around. Depending on the incident, it may be fun to think of different ways out of trouble. What do you do when something goes wrong? More recently, people probably rely on Google answers. Well, that’s definitely the quickest way to resolve trouble. In some cases, however, you may have to rely on someone depending on the trouble you have unfortunately encountered. Or… perhaps this is an opportunity to have a little fun with cross-cultural interaction? But we think in the end, experiencing the trouble described in the latter is probably the best. Anyway, here are some tips on how to find a “Trouble Breaker”. We hope this is helpful.
Police box
This is where police officers in charge of the area are stationed. They are probably the most reliable “trouble breaker”. They speak to us very politely.
Businessmen
The main point is talking to someone surrounded by many people. In most cases, their division of roles is superb and they can suggest multiple solutions. However, since everyone is basically working, please consider that they are limitedly available. Being polite in this setting is also important.
Young people around 20
This is also a group you should seek that should be surrounded by multiple people. We think you can be a bit more friendly than polite. Still, we think they can propose some sort of solution for you.
As for the question of whether English can be understood by Japanese people, it is possible for most to be able to comprehend what you are saying. If you talk slowly and enunciate the vowels, you will be able to communicate with them. We’re just not good at speaking. Often it is because of the enumeration of words. Still, it is great when Japanese people who are with multiple people can unite to help solve a problem. Basically, most are kind to people who are really in trouble.
We mean, we do have phrases such as
“Three heads are better than two”
“The good you do for others is good you do yourself”
“We help each other when in need”
