Gaze Aversion

How to Make People Avert Their Gaze in Tokyo

• Sit on a park bench, read a book and laugh aloud at the funny parts.
  
• Walk carefully balanced along the edge of a fountain.
  
• Strike poses while perched on a rock or ledge.
  
• In the middle of an open plaza, stretch out your arms and spin.
  

If you do any of the above, people will pretend you are invisible. Guaranteed.
