First, thank you to many people here who put efforts in sharing their experiences. I learned a lot by just reading their posts. ![]()
I figure I can write my own notes on this forum (can I?). Being a foreigner, Chinese descendant, living in Japan must has some useful experiences to someone.
I’m 6"2, Typical Chinese look (with bigger eye frames), Muscular build, dress well occasionally.
My items are: Edge, NPA, SOE, Instant Shine (normal strength) and A314
My best result was when using IS alone.
My best mood was when using only A314.
My worst moment was when I used NPA individually.
Edge and SoE don’t do much alone but they enhance the mix.
Here are observations I have gathered from using ISx2 A314x1 0.5ml of SoE.
Self effects
I felt great, but was always aware that placebo’s effect could take place, and no dizzy feelings as I used to have when using SoE, maybe my body has already assimilated to the previous use of 2ml SoE.
I took notes of things I found and hoped I could illustrate my experiences clearly enough.
I went to meet a JP lady at cultural office, which I would not mention any name for anonymous reason, and was waiting at common area. A guy who I know had invited me to join his table which already had another lady sitting there.
She was cute!
However, she couldn’t understand English. I later learned that she’s a Taiwanese and…married. (No, no, LT, not the same Taiwanese I mentioned before)
But I gave all my attention to the guy for courtesy reason. We had a few things to talk about and I always tried to involve her in the conversation, mainly not to leave her out which would seem impolite in this society, and made some eye contacts along with good smiles.
She eventually felt comfortable with my presence and smiled back. Real smile, not the forced one.
*Note - I did face my body toward her, but she didn’t. She focused on her textbook and occasionally joined the conversation.
I didn’t pursue further at the moment. I mainly talked with the guy until he had to leave. Then I repositioned myself to her opposite seat.
*Note - After sometimes, she began to initiate conversations. I speak little Japanese so it was a hard process. At the time, I assumed she did feel comfortable with my presence.
After I doubly reapplied SoE from ear to ear, I did this where no one would see me of course, we had some nice talks. Big grins. IOI? I wasn’t sure.
*Note - no pupil dilations, hairplays or any other IOIs.
Two of my friends joined me later. A guy and a girl. Both are ones I am teaching my language to. So they got along well.
Intrigued by the subject, TW lady actually tried to join my little lecture. Seemed interested and did teach me some Mandarin.
*Note - nice attentions, still showed no IOIs, however. During that time, my female student touched my shoulder. She initiated more physical contacts lately, but I saw her as my friend only.
Now, after long hours, we packed our stuffs and left the office.
*Note - I stepped in her personal space. No backfire but a compliment of my height. She didn’t seem to mind about personal space stuff, I also was aware that Taiwanese had more progressive thought about flirting.
I asked when she would come to the office again. She answered and asked the same question to me. Then we parted.
Conclusion
I’m learning… This country is a land of courtesy and I can mistake a politeness for an IOI when I first arrived here and made a shame of myself.
I found from a few previous tests that -nol and IS are good for first meeting. A314 is also good but not more than one drop for me in that specific situation or else they would all tense up.
*Note - 3 drops of A314 and no one would talk to me. 3 sprays of IS alone made some nice interactions.
Any advice and correction are always welcome.
