Ok, here's the senerio;

My boyfriend wants to take me to Japan because I'd LOVE to go there at least once in my life. My boyfriend lived in Japan for a while when he was younger, so he obviously knows more about the language and culture than I do.
My problem: I really don't want to act like a tottal air-headed tourist. I am trying to learn some of the language, but I know that I will stick out like a sore thumb (as I'm 6'2'', female, with multi-colored hair and very american looking). I just don't want to be a burden to him while we're there. ~_~

Any advise??
