Hope that you will come to Japan with a lot of negative images.
I suppose, at least, no maple leaf flag would be needed even with your north american English accent.
As to the Europen matters, it would be interesting for an asian tourist to go to, say, a small museum in northern europe at not busy time, for the staffs would kindly watch what you are interested in. But I am too stupid to be eloquent and I don't have to play certain roll here.
