it used to be that you looked up the local niceties before travelling but that seems to have gone out the window.

oh well. it is lack of regard for simple rules that ruin it for many.

even now, with tsukiji clammed down on everyone tom, dick and harry that calls themselves some sort of food expert, such visitors still can not obey ONE SIMPLE RULE...turn your F'ing flash off....

i can only imagine the frustration of locals that see such blatant disregard of some pretty simple rules that they have to follow daily...not smoking on the streets while walking is one that tourists have a complete inability to follow in Japan....the notice does set out some pretty simple things.
