Current Events > Chinese Tourists.....

(+) Yeah! (+)

No consideration and rude,

They literally cornered off a entire section of KFC for their family of 20, they took all the chairs, then they all up and left leaving all the trash behind

This was in a Bali tourist hotspot

This is in a lot of Asian cultures, though. The concept of personal space doesn't exist. I lived in Japan for a bit and it happened there a lot. Even working in tourism now I see it with the Chinese tourists. They just bump right into you and don't even acknowledge you. One time an old Asian guy crop dusted this young black kid and the kid got angry and the old guy just kept walking. Probably a language barrier but he didn't gaf.

Gotta prepare for the mongollians

I was in a cafe in my city once, a group of Chinese tourists walk in and order something with the cashier, and one just lets out a huge fart. Like everyone who was sitting heard it and looked, but none of the Chinese reacted when their co-tourist farted like that. I was shocked at them being oblivious at it.

Lmao that sign thats only in Mandarin. But yes, theyre very inconsiderate and dont seem to have an indoor voice.

They just walk into a store and take up a whole walkway and unfold all the shirts and leave behind their boxed-up leftovers and empty Starbucks cups.

Mods must be asleep or something.

I mean, doesn't that describe the vast majority of tourists?

Outside the Louvre in Paris, there's a sign in Mandarin which tells visitors not to defecate in the surrounding grounds. This sign is only written in Mandarin Chinese. No other nationality, it appears, needs to be reminded where it is and is not appropriate to shit in the vicinity of metropolitan France's art museums.

Some Chinese boy damaged an ancient Egyptian artifact I remember

lol

Theirs was a generation raised in the awful shadow of the Cultural Revolution who often had aeons of good manners wiped clean from them, only to be replaced with a few shallow algorithms about being a good little communist. And now even that has bled away, what you're looking at is the purest noveau riche you'll ever see. A new consumer class that started from the bottom, and now that they're approaching the top, inevitably feel that more is more. As with any nouveau riche, it can look from the outside that they seem to want little more from life than to be respected for their raw spending power.

And this is something in which we can certainly oblige. All these jokes about faecal fondnesses will make an excellent psychic defence against our relegation in the world's pecking order. Right now, the Chinese are pretty much single-handedly keeping the European luxury goods market alive, and that's all we're still selling. They have bought Givenchy and Dolce like they are going out of fashion. They love Jaguar and Chateauneuf Du Pape and Talisker. As Europe itself becomes the sick man of Europe, the Chinese ascent to global tourism kings in 2012 marked the turn of the tide of patronage from West to East. Throughout the next decade, it's going to be us barefoot and crying out in pidgin Mandarin to them: "You want Smythson, mister? You like the Yardley? Me give you Burberry good price all the time. You'll see, very good."

We may well be under invasion from ill-mannered Chinese tourist hordes, but our reaction to it says just as much about our own insecurities as it does any concept of intrinsic Han coarseness.
