How to talk to people from Tokyo is a genuinely useful post. They are comfortable with silence and use it, including when they have not understood you, and they will avoid saying a thing directly rather than risk causing offence. Priscilla writes a series like this, country by country, and it helps more than most travel writing does.

The rest is Singapore eaten thoroughly. A chocolate shop revisited because the first visit went well. Porridge in Chinatown at the place everybody names. A seafood restaurant that serves in the frying pan, an idea borrowed from South African fishermen. A German bakery in Siglap. Free cone day queued for properly.

She returns to places a second time and writes the follow-up, which is rare and useful, because a second visit tells you more than a first.

There is also a post on talking to your adult child, which belongs to the same instinct.

Read the culture posts before a trip, and the food ones if you are anywhere near that island.
