short noise on the bus
(last blog was too long so I'm reposting the short version for those who don't want to read the whole thing:)
The following is a situation where people use the reasoning "This is the way things are done in japan" in order to justify getting the result they want.
I was visiting a friend in Tokushima and we were riding a local bus at about 8pm.
There were 3 young guys at the front of the bus talking to each other. My friend and I were almost at the back, talking to each other. No one else was on the bus.
A small man aged about 50 got on the bus and sat directly behind me. Almost the second he sat down he leaned over and started waving his hand in front of my face to get my attention and saying "excuse me, excuse me" People like that usually just want to practice thier english and find out where you are from, if you can eat sushi and so on.
Not this guy. Before his butt had even warmed up the seat he informed us (in English) "Excuse me but in Japan people do not speak so loudly on the bus. Please--" and he made the "shh" sign with a finger over his lips. He had a cold look on his face.
