Japanese (mostly Tokyo though some in Hakata) cabbies have been some of the most unique cabbies I've ever ridden with. I speak Japanese and have chatted with cabbies who coached me on which love hotels not to go to, the history of rail development near a small town, and even lamentations on how Japanese Kids These Days (TM) are less worldly than they were during the Bubble days. Only one cabbie I rode with was the silent sort and he was respectful and kept to himself.
- Dracophoenix 5y ago>lamentations on how Japanese Kids These Days (TM) are less worldly than they were during the Bubble days. "Less worldly" in the sense of less knowledgeable about people and the world or in the sense of less sex?
- Karrot_Kream 5y agoThe former. It's a refrain I've heard frequently from the older generation about how young Japanese have a less global outlook due to travelling abroad less for work or having fewer foreigners visit for work. I'm not Japanese myself so I can't comment as to how much I agree with this perspective.
