When traveling in Asian countries and speaking English poorly, there's less psychological burden because the other side also doesn't speak it well, so everyone can be tolerant of each other, like using hand gestures and so on.
In English-speaking countries, the psychological pressure is much higher, and it feels a bit awkward, like you think you've done something wrong, but in reality, it's just a lack of cultural knowledge.
