  2. I take always a photocopy of my passport and my ID card with me and leave my passport in the hotel safe. No matter in wich country I am.
    If they want to see my passport they can come with me to the hotel

  3. Tattoos in an Onsen is ridiculous. Also Japan only has technology because of the US. Even their business suits and buildings are designed after US. I think they should get off their high horse of pretending they are some high culture society while they live with all the modern luxuries they were given.

  4. travel smart and respect the rules goes for everybody all over the world!! respect the country you visit. (ok, that rule does not count for countries that do not respect you, so the USA is excluded!!!)

  5. Gee.. that's for tourists. What do they do for people that are there illegally???

    See libs? Other countries have laws that non-citizens must follow.

  6. The littering thing is really self-infliceted by the japanese.
    You can't expect people to walk around for three hours with their trash in hand until they come across one of the maybe five trashbins in the whole city xD

    Put some trashbins up and people won't litter.
