Have you noticed chefs bark at foreigners for taking photos in Japan? There are plenty of restaurants where the chef's holier-than-thou reputation precedes him, which would include getting disgruntled for whatever reason with non-Japanese speakers.

In a similar vein, at a few restaurants in China, my Chinese counterparts took plenty of photos of their meals, but when I did it I suddenly entered scorn city.

Regardless of these instances, I've had more success overseas than with UA...
