I was surprised (though now I wonder why) to see so many foreigners at the famous temples of Asakusa. I heard Chinese, Korean, some kind of Slavic language (Russian?), and heavily accented British and Australian English. The shop owners I talked to were floored that I could communicate in Japanese. It was probably refreshing for them, as I'm sure they get a lot of ignorant tourists who don't bother to even learn how to say "thank you." I hate those kinds of tourists.Labels: Daily Photo |
