Badger77 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 So I'm in the "International Connecting" part of Tokyo's Narita IAP a few months ago and there is the large white American lady getting really pissed. She's at the counter being assisted by 2 young Japanese employees. I overhear her trying to get miles credited onto a card. "No, you're wrong it IS part of that alliance!" "Sorry ma'am, your account is from an airline not included...we cannot do that" "Impossible, sorry" "Yes you can! Do it!" "Fine, whatever, YOU ARE WRONG" (top of her lungs) Reaches over the counter and snatches the paperwork and card. At this point I am embarrased to be anywhere near her and hold the same nationality passport. This is what causes people to have negative opinions. 1 bad one cancelled out 100 nice, polite people.

Flashermac Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 << Among the topics probed were tourists' behaviour, manners, generosity, willingness to learn the language and try local cuisine and their propensity to complain. Japanese tourists took out the top overall place, followed by the British and Germans in joint second place, and the Canadians in third position. >> So if your country is going to be invaded, you'd better hope it's by the Nips, Poms, Krauts or Canucks!

rogueyam Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 The Japanese only started being polite while abroad after we nuked 'em (twice). There's a lesson in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 But remember, the first nuke (Fat Man) we dropped on ourself. Some people in Arizona and New Mexico, saw the 'sun' rise twice that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 That would certainly be a humbling experience. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 The yanks are polite, it is the rebels who make all of the noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
