Equally the best and worst thing for Kyoto: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20230810_05/

...uah. Not only Kyoto, all of Japan. If they made up 30% of tourism, that's a huge chunk. Financially it is of course great, but Chinese tourists are probably the worst.

Chinese tourists are probably the worst

Fixed that for you.

I am so glad that I never have to visit Kyoto again and got to experience it several times while the borders were closed or tourists weren't back in full force while I was there. Gonna be hell.

I'm in Kyoto now and its already overrun with tourists. Long lines at restaurants, and crowded as all hell. It was the same story when I went to Osaka and USJ as well, that place was at least 70% Chinese tourists. I even saw a bunch at Tobita when I went.

Holy fuck public holidays are wild. Just drove to yamanashi. There are three lanes at dangozaka and not a single driver knows how to use any of them. It was like the wild west. Still, by driving like an arsehole I saved myself about 20 minutes of getting stuck in traffic.

Now I'm stuck in a supermarket line. Stuff is flying off the shelves as fast as they put it out. And of course my till lady is the slowest in the store.

I am gonna get fucking wrecked on booze as soon as I get in.

It was the best of news, it was the worst of news.

It was great running around Kyoto during the pandemic. 😊

Will probably avoid it for a while now although there are still things I want to do there.

And happy the money is coming back to fuuzoku again and that they’re visiting covered establishments.

When Chuck Norris left Van Halen, I kind of lost interest in the band.

Probably fake but it made me laugh…

I hope one of you went to the high five event with Yua Mikami today and paid respects to a legend of their craft.

Who do fireworks better: Japan or the US?

The Americans make bigger booms.

But the Japanese do this....

Except that's a computer-generated simulation.

Well, sometimes in the US, it sounds like fireworks, but they ain't fireworks...

I repeated a provider I hadn't seen since pre-covid. I was impressed she still remembered things about me.

 

[Sudsy]

Except that's a computer-generated simulation.

Dammit. Of course I grab the one simulated one off the whole page of results.
