Tips for Traveling to Asia
Visas
Japan: Many Western countries have visa-free entry for up to 90 days (tourism).
Taiwan: Similar visa-free arrangements for many countries.
China: Requires a visa for most Western visitors. Apply well in advance.
Language
Japan: English signage is common in cities, but learning basic Japanese phrases is appreciated.
Taiwan: Mandarin is official, but English is widely spoken at conventions.
China: Mandarin is essential. Translation apps like Google Translate (offline mode) are a lifesaver.
Transporting Your Suit
Airline Rules: Asian airlines (JAL, ANA, EVA Air) are generally accommodating but check baggage allowances carefully.
Customs Declarations: Declare your fursuit as "personal costume/clothing." Carry photos.
Cultural Tips
Bowing: In Japan, a slight bow is appropriate when greeting.
Cash: Japan is still heavily cash-based. Taiwan and China use mobile payments (but you may need local apps).
Tipping: Not customary in Japan or Taiwan. In China, it can be confusing—avoid unless you know the context.
