Everyone makes mistakes; I tend to be forgiving.
For example "eating in the street is rude" is one of those things that's just a foreign concept to many people outside Japan. I just so happen to know about this from a YouTube video I once watched, but if it wasn't for that I could see myself doing it. Hell, even with that I could see myself just forgetting because it's such an alien concept to me that this is considered rude.
- Incipient 3y agoI was more saying when a tourist considers their actions. Not if. Of course not everyone knows every social idiosyncratic curiosity of countries they visit. But "I'm only a tourist, it's ok" leads to the egregious "tourists are bad" concept.
