So one thing I wanted to give folks a heads up about if you’re planning to visit Japan is that almost every place allows smoking and while Japan ha started to try to get folks to stop smoking with new programs aimed at the under 40 crowd. The other item is their are very few public trash cans to be found in large cities the only places you will find them are at entrances to shires and public parks.

I really wanna visit Japan one day… but right now there are US streamers acting like fucking entitled assholes I’m feeling that it’s all getting ruined. Especially as these streamers all tend to be black, which is even worse as I’m black myself. Black thug culture should have never been a thing.

I get ya, it only takes a few idiots to ruin a good thing or the reputation of others from the same area.

Okay as someone who just got home after spending 2 months in Japan the issue is that Japan has become the #1 destination to visit because of the exchange rate. Because I used to live in Japan and have many friends in Japan I don’t have the issues that certain morons and jerks. The real issue is that folks are leaving garbage and being disrespectable to the locals. I think most have heard about the petrol station near Mt Fuji that folks are stopping to get photos at well the company that owns the store are in the process of building a 16 Meter high wall behind the building to stop folks from blocking traffic to get photos. The other item I keep hearing from three girls I now who work at a couple different cafe’s are 1) Leaving Tips 2) Rude Behavior 3) Hitting on them. In Kyoto in what is called the Geisha District Kyoto has banned taking photos of Geisha and have closed off certain streets that they used to get around in, plus they have beefed up police presence and have a few female uncover agents dressed as Geishas . So if anyone is planning a trip to Japan and wants to know the do’s and don’ts just ask me either here or a pm
