    You always complain about other tourists, but it's time to confess.

    What were the times (you) were a bad tourist?
    >>
    Personally, pretty usual stuff:

    I take things from hotels (that most people do), like towels and shit. If it's in the room or the hallway and there's no one, then i assume it's complementary.
    I also took like posters and other shit from places, as souvenirs.

    Also, i don't skip lines, except when i have a connexion flight, in which case i freak out and push people out my way.
    I'm not spending for another hotel night because i missed a flight. So, in those cases i'm a huge dick and get into fights.

    Also, if i wait more than 2 hours in an airport, i take off my shoes.
    Once, a group of Koreans complained that i had smelly feet because of it.
    To be fair they were probably right, because i was awake for probably more than 24 hours with no showers at that point.

    Traveling India and Nepal I threw rubbish out the bus window just like everyone else. One time I shat diarrhea on the roadside next to my luggage after getting off a sleeper bus, thankfully nobody passed by and snapped a picture. I also made two girls very unhappy by refusing their bold advances.

    my fuckups are pretty inconsequential. When I first arrived in Japan I ate at the restaurant, the bill was 498 yen so I put up a 500 yen note and 3 one cent coins to get back 5 yen in change, but the cashier looked at the coins like they were a bomb and she didn't want to handle them. A minute later after I left I realized they were the Taiwanese 1 cent coins

    Then a couple days later I went to a different restaurant to have the lunch special. When they rang me up I bitched that the price wasnt the same as the special but later I learned that in Japan the tax is usually added after and that's normal

    Then I snaked a guy when I went to view a sharehouse in the suburbs of Fukuoka. I was acting interested in it and the guy spent like 40 minutes interviewing me and reviewing the rules, and I agreed to meet him on Monday and sign, but the moment the meeting ended I left to the bus terminal to take the overnight bus to Tokyo. On Sunday I told him the price he was asking was ridiculous and I can live in Harajuku (richest neighborhood) for that price, so I'm in Tokyo now. Did him like the Onitsuka Tigers did Phil Knight

    I touch thinks to, it's to prove that i'm finally here.
    And i take pics of me touching a temple wall or a castle or a mountain with my hand on a rock. Then i look at the photo, i look at my hand, "i was there".

    It was pouring rain really hard when I was in Taipei, so I ran into a store for shelter. As luck would have it, they sell umbrellas. I can't read any Chinese whatsoever, so the only thing I can read on the sign is "100."

    So I ask the guy there, in English, if the umbrella costs $100 TWD. He said "yes," so I handed him a $100 coin, grabbed an umbrella, and ran back out.

    Here's what I did wrong:
    1) I never actually confirmed if that man was the shop owner or an employee. He could've been another customer for all I know.
    2) I forgot to factor in GST/VAT/whatever the Taiwanese equivalent is.
    3) I wasn't in a hurry, why the fuck did I run out?
    4) I just googled what Taiwanese currency looks like to refresh my memory, there is no such thing as a $100 coin. I'm either remembering something wrong, or I didn't pay enough. Maybe I gave him a $100 note, maybe I gave him two $50 coins. I don't remember, and I kinda feel like shit because it's equally possible that I gave him one $50 coin.

    Very petty and malicious. A swift death would serve you well.

    >the tax is usually added after and that's normal
    I live in a country that also does this, and it still throws me for a loop.

    My thought process is basically
    >This is a different country, there's no way they would be as ass-backwards as mine
    Then I'm surprised when it is as ass-backwards as mine.

    it wasn't a squander, you are coping. if you actually had a chance she would have stayed through the fumble
    >>she calls me back to the taxi and gives me her WhatsApp
    >>”we can meet since you don’t know anybody in town :)”
    >>never contact her
    you probably didnt contact her because you're not into buff women. cant really blame yourself for that
    >>
    >>2914402
    Funny, but couldn’t you wander into a Japanese language school and shit up and tie up their resources to make the poos suffer?

    >>2914406

    So you were agonizing for days/an afternoon whether you should say “hi” but your penis inverted or something?

    I got a taxi from the Bali airport at like 11:30pm. Me and the driver start chatting and he offers me a cigarette, I say thanks and start smoking. He and I are chatting away and I start to notice that my ash is about to fall, but since the driver smokes he must have an ashtray or something in the car. I look around and see this little brass dish sitting on top of the dashboard. Sweet, found the ashtray. I put the cig over it and knock the ash off and immediately the taxi driver goes silent and I see every muscle in his body clench up. I lean a little forwards to look into the ashtray and see that it isn't an ashtray and I had just ashed a cigarette into his hindu offering bowl. The night degraded from there.

    >2) I forgot to factor in GST/VAT/whatever the Taiwanese equivalent is.
    In Taiwan that's always included in the price. You never see what the tax is as a separate item. Standard VAT there is 5%, and oddly enough if you go shopping for computer parts there you'll find that the posted prices on brand-name components are always about 5% more than you can buy them for in the U.S.
    >>
    >>2914506
    That is pretty funny
    >>
    Why do White people think they can act so crazy in Bali. Bali is a Holy Hindu place and proves Hinduism isn't just for us Ayrans.

    I got drunk in Osaka, followed some Jap guys into an elevator, asked if there was a toilet in the building but I accidentally said 立つ (tatsu, stand up) instead of 建物 (tatemono, building). They thought I said "tattoo" and directed me to a tattoo parlour. In my drunken state I walked in and used the toilet, then realised it looked like an apartment bathroom. I flushed and as I left I heard the needle stop and a voice call out "oi!" and something in Japanese. I said gomenasai and hastily walked out of there. Last thing I heard was "tcht" and the needle start up again.

    Toile wa doko desuka was too complicated for you?

    "Where is the bathroom?" is basic survival in any language.

    >>2918154
    What >>2918163 said basically. I tried to say "is there a toilet in this building" but I was drunk off strong zero and probably slurring.

    I’ve lived in Philippines for a while, (I’m not really a tourist anymore) and I have never used a condom in this shithole of a country. Never once in 3 years has my cock been sullied by latex.
    I’ve fucked nearly 160 Filipinas, most resulting in full on deep pussy insemination. If a girl is annoying or whatever,, i block her after we fuck.
    I’ve fucked sisters together. I’ve fucked my girlfriend’s moms a few times. Just total degeneracy. I love fucking high school students (my favourite) and even gotten a few pregnant, so I set them up in cheap condos and support them. See- I’m not a total scumbag.
