Walk it easy!

Tall dude is tall.

I don't know, but slow walkers piss me off.

Short people are good at booking it man.

>>1018291
YOU DON'T BELONG HERE STRANGER.

You know what's worse?

Fucking bicyclists on the fucking sidewalk.

BRING BRING BRING PREASE RET ME PASS YOU BRING BRING BING.

>>1018296
Yeah, when they actually run.

>>1018301
MY GOD THIS

Of course, there was a bicycle chained to every fucking sign and guard-rail, plus advertising signs, plus scooters; so there's like <14" of sidewalk left, and the motherfucking bicyclists DON'T RIDE IN THE STREET, so you're forced to practically climb the walls to get out of their way.

Fucking Tokyo

brrng brrng NO, FUCK YOU, GROW A PAIR AND GET OFF THE SIDEWALK.

>>1018320
Believe it or not, there are places worse than even Tokyo. Imagine being run down by SWARMS of up to ten bicyclists riding in one giant pack, essentially running you off the sidewalk. Ugh.

Fucking Tsukuba. I hope this city BURNS.

>>1018320
Never have any problem with the bicyclists, but I'm Dutch, so I'm the Japanese way of using a bicycle seems quite tame.

>>1018291
I like how people leave the right side of the escalator for people actually walking on them. I hate walking in crowded areas because of the slowness. I usually use the back streets if I'm heading somewhere with lots of people walking on the main road.

>>1018335
>>so I'm
so to me*

I thought that Japanese people generally ignore it if they bump into someone while walking, or if someone bumps into them. So surely it doesn't matter how slow they walk? Or is that not true at all?

>>1018335
It's less a question of tameness than one of consideration, in my opinion; sidewalks are meant for pedestrians, not for vehicles. Bicycles are vehicles. They should therefore should be required to run on either the road along with all the OTHER vehicles, or be confined to specialized bicycle lanes.

What is frustrating about the Tokyo example is that there seems to be some sense that bicycles somehow should receive priority over pedestrians, and then feel little remorse in ringing their bells at you, when, really, they're not moving faster than anyone else, what, with the crowds.

In Tsukuba, we have a special bicycle lane. But guess what -- no one uses it.

>>1018342
In my experience, that's true. One time when we were drunk in Japan, my friend started bumping into people on purpose. Most of them actually apologized to him.

Fucking pedestrians walking slowly as if the sidewalk belonged to them.

I'm going to run over a few of them with my bicycle one of those days.

>>1018356
It does. You know what the sidewalk is called in Japanese?

歩道.

THAT MEANS WALKING ROAD.

You know what sidewalk means?

IT MEANS A WALKWAY ON WHICH ONE WALKS WHICH IS ON THE SIDE OF SOMETHING ELSE.

>>1018291
OP is old pic.

>>1018353
i would've busted all your friend's teeth

>>1018291
You are racist.

>>1018478
reported for baseless accusations of racism.

>>1018454
I think he was being facetious.

>>1018511
DOES IT EVEN MATTER.

OH GOD SO MUCH PENT-UP RAGE/FRUSTRATION.

I will kill every single bicyclist with my bare hands if I have to.

>>1018291
We think you're a jackass for not seeing the big picture

because they are stupid fvcking Jappers, thats why

>>1018685
Hi there my Roman friend. Welcome to the 21st century. People actually distinguish between u and v now. You might want to work on that.

>>1018353
That's part of the culture. You start doing the same thing after you live here for a while. Just like bowing to people on the telephone. I like it. The other extreme is probably what you get in some American places. "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!!".

>>1018685
We can say fuck here.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

>>1018291
what the fuck are you, a new yorker?

>>1018701
>. Just like bowing to people on the telephone.
Seriously? I never saw that, but I wish I did.

Also, fuck slow walkers.

>>1018771
Haven't you ever seen a person making motions or hand signals while talking to someone on the phone?

>>1018782
Yeah, I do that all the time. But bowing is just something else.

>>1018821

it's exactry the same fucking thing

>it's exactry the same fucking thing
>it's exactry the same
>exactry

ROROROROR

>>1018301
BRING BRING BRING PREASE RET ME PASS YOU BRING BRING BING.

We all know where this is going.
It's only a matter of time.

>>1018846
have you got probrem with way i speak?

>>1018912
JAPANESE GENTREMEN STAND UP PREASE!

Newsflash - laws on bicycle riding vary by country, even by state. I know in Oregon you're required to stay off the sidewalk, and in other states you're not.

http://www.massbike.org/bikelaw/statelaws.htm

I would guess it is illegal to ride your bicycle in car lanes where there is a clear sidewalk in Japan.

Quick test - try riding your bike in traffic in Tokyo, and see if any cop stops you.

>>1018970
You could probably kill 5 people in Tokyo and they wouldn't stop you. Kill 6 or more though and they'll be on your ass like a prison full of rapists.

Oh, I got an idea you stupid fucking Americans. Don't like it? Get the fuck out, just like you say to everyone else foreign. Thanks.

>>1019002

are you japanese?

>>1019007

I'm just a weeaboo.

>>1019010

Are you european? We europeans tend to be more cultured than americans, we have a better image abroad (real europeans that is, not british). We dont complain and we get on well with people.

American behaves in one of two ways abroad:

1) Fratboy - Gets drunk and causes trouble.

2) Mr. America - Expects everyone to treat him like god and speak perfect english.

>>1019002
ITT, only America and Japan exists.

>>1019013

Sad, but true.

>>1019013
German tourists.

>>1019023
YAF is a nigger.

>>1019013
Bitches don't know 'bout my Swedes.

>>1019032

Eh shit black yo.

>>1019016

I directed it mainly at Americans because they are proven to be the most retarded, just like the many ignorant shits here who can't be bothered to culturally adapt so they come back to bitch about it on an anonymous imageboard. If you do the same, but not American, you're just as bad. And you should feel bad.

Americans were judged the most courteous and the British the rudest, alongside the Russians and Canadians.

Worst tourists
17th = Argentines, New Zealanders, Czechs, Finns
21st Indians
22nd = Irish, Israelis
24th British
The Brits also seemed to make least effort in speaking the local language, a quality excelled by the Germans, French and Americans.

>>1019085

interesting, take time to consider what you're going to do if you're going to insist on masquerading as being from a country that is not yours I guess

>>1019124
>Friday, 19 July, 2002, 10:13 GMT 11:13 UK

2002 called, they want their news report back.

>>1019132

well played, but one must consider that those sort of standings don't change so quickly

>>1019140
Yeah, I realised that.

But when it says things like
>The behaviour of British tourists was recently in the spotlight when 13 were arrested on the Greek island of Faliraki, in a police crackdown on lewd behaviour.

It's because a lot of Brits go to places like Faliraki to get pissed and shitty behaviour is just a part of getting drunk. That, and a lot of brits aren't willing to try new food, which is another thing the BBC talked about.

Anyway, whatever. I'm not like that, I shouldn't care.

>>1019154
I dont get that, I mean, they're on RHODES for fuck sake, it's one of the best islands in Europe, so much to see and do. Yet they go on holiday solely for the purposes of getting drunk.

>>1019132
I just noticed that, I saw a article last month about it that was basically the same, other than like the one in >>1019155
the French were on the bottom. I did a quick BBC search and didn't bother to check the date, when I found it.
That's the good and bad about the BBC page, they link you to articles years old, when you are looking at current events. But yet it's nice that they have them still available years later rather than dumping them.

>>1019072

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Most of this crap going against us Americans are sterotypes and bias. We're really not that misbehaved or unintelligent at all compared to other countries, and it makes you look like the moron for buying into all of it.

>>1019013
>image abroad
I thought that said image board. If so, I want in.

>>1018291

>YAF is a black man.
There's a difference between a nigger and a black man.

>>1019219

Are you a basement dweller? Do you go outside at all? Eat your own fucking words.

I've lived there half my lifetime, you people are the most ignorant fuckers I had to deal with. You also very well live up to the "stereotype" that you have no manners, are blatantly obnoxious and atrociously fat. You're racists, prejudice, xenophobes without even realizing it, as long as the "taboo" words don't come into play, it's all fair game to you. But when you're the one being treated "unfairly" in another country, it's an outrage. Now you know how it is for non-whites to live in a shitstain country like yours. "My way or the high way, otherwise get the fuck out." That's your American motto!

All of you are just so fucking oblivious of how much people are annoyed by your presence. Fuck off and stay in your own country. Nobody likes you anyway.

>>1019347

>>1019358

Can't unsee.

>>1019293
YAF is a Polish lumberjack with a neon green fetish. But it is a nice coat.

>"My way or the high way, otherwise get the fuck out."
You have no idea how much this way of thinking makes me rage, and I'm American. Too bad over 80% of the population is like that and, unfortunately, it's the only way to make it here. Want to be nice, share or compromise, you get screwed over. Everytime.

>>1019347

>>1019358
ahahaha, oh wow.

ITT: We get mad because the Japanese don't run down the street like retards on fire and instead choose to walk slowly,relax and take their time.

>>1018335
>I like how people leave the right side of the escalator for people actually walking on them. I hate walking in crowded areas because of the slowness. I usually use the back streets if I'm heading somewhere with lots of people walking on the main road.

Retards at my train station need to fucking learn this in the morning.

>>1019347
What are you doing HERE?!? I bet you are a hikikomori.

>>1019347

Were have you lived the other 7 years.

>>1019347

2/10.

OP, the only advice for you I have is to.....take it easy like everyone else!

So this thread was shit.

Riding bikes in car lanes is awesome.

WALKING SLOWLY IS PREFERRED HERE

>>1021898
Driving drunk is cool too.

Since its Mexico it will be five years for drunk driving and the guy will be out.
