overthinks everything
So I went on a Club Tortimer island trip today. My very first time. Hmmm. Very mixed experience.
First one to arrive was a guy wearing a mask. (He had an English name but I can't recall what it is now.) I said "Hello!" but he completely ignored me, ran around the shop, then ran away.
Second boy was from Japan. We exchanged greetings. He was very quiet. I suggested taking a tour, and he joined me. The second tour, I asked him to choose. We played two games together, the fishing one and the scavenger hunt and we did very well, winning gold medals. We returned to the island, and he was again very quiet. Before he left, he thanked me. I thanked him too.
Third arrival was a guy from Japan. He probably looked at the list of people on the island and realized I wasn't Japanese (going by my nick, which is Skinny, I wish I could write and display it in katakana) and left immediately!
Fourth arrival was a girl from Japan. She walked around in the shop but ignored my greeting and attempt at conversation. I was disheartened. I left the island soon after.
I wish there was some way I could type Japanese hiragana or katakana on my 3DS. I can speak the language a little. I used romaji but I don't think the Japanese like that.
What was your experience like? Did you get to play with island visitors who spoke with you in English? Is it impossible to make friends on a Club Tortimer trip? I mean, I'd love to make friends or at least have a conversation, why else would I have a Club Tortimer membership for?
