Language barriers aren't stifling. They can be a means to escape the borders and definitions of communication.
Things I thought I'd never do that I've done in the last 2 days:
Get into a car with a stranger who offered me a ride home
Eat octopus
Got out with 20 Japanese people to karaoke
Go to an English bar in Japan full of every native English speaker in the city, and watch the England vs. Portugal World Cup game with them.
Leave that English bar with a group of Japanese people we've just met who can't speak English and go out to dinner with them, and come home at 3am after having the time our lives!
