She’s smiling.
She opened a train door in Japan, wrecked the umbrella, and posted it like it was a cute story.
It is not cute.
Japanese trains do not crawl through every station.
Some trains pass the platform at full speed.
If anyone is standing there, that open door and that flying umbrella are not a joke.
They are a weapon.
People here miss a train and wait for the next one.
They do not film themselves playing with the door.
You do not get to treat another country’s railway like a playground
and then laugh about it on your phone.
This is why more people here are done pretending
that “they just don’t know the rules” is an excuse.
As a foreigner, I have one request for visitors to Japan: please don’t drink, shout, or disturb others while filming on trains.
We are guests in another country. Learn the local rules, respect the culture, and be considerate of those who live there.
Japan, Senbon Torii is not a nightclub dance floor!!💢
Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto is not a backdrop for social media content. It is sacred ground that has been a place of worship for hundreds of years.
There seems to be no end to disruptive videos of people blocking the path and dancing, but please stop turning a place of worship into a “stage for going viral.”
Would you do the same thing in a church or a mosque?
If more and more people refuse to follow the rules, eventually all tourists will be banned from entering.
