    Well, back home, and one of my first actions is to join the membership which I couldn't do before cause you tube doesn't let you leave home. What do I discover, but Nathan disturbing the chi of a museum by doing nothing. He was not a Happy Gaijin for a few moments, but like the traveler he is rolled with it, just as he did with the shuttle bus debacle.

    Props for being a respectful and rules abiding vlogger. But you may (or may not) know that recent events involving troublesome vloggers has left the Japanese super-sensitive about gaijin wielding selfie sticks. My guess is that this is the bee in her bonnet.

    • @HappyGaijin
      @HappyGaijin  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think that the recent incidents are minor and actually haven't done as much as you might think.. its all been mostly hype on the interent

    the nearest I got to the camera incident was at Tenryu-ji in kyoto, and it was from other tourists not the staff. The staff at the entrance to the dragon hall explained no photos, so I put the lens cap on my DSLR and positioned the strap so it was hanging more on my back. The staff were happy with this.... however inside 2 women saw the camera and they must have been english because there was muttered comments of "gasp, hes got a camera in here" and lots of tutting 🤣 Fortunately I just ignored them and they just kept the fuss to themselves 😂

    This has happened to me but I learnt it wasn't the camera as she said they think it's a selfie stick because of the shape. You should show her that it's just a camera that does not extend. Americans are a huge problem with selfie sticks. This is why I got the compact easy to hide action 2 as a backup

    So sorry for the bad experience. Something very similar happened to me in my own island when I took some american friends to a museum. The lady was so rude as yours. Anyway, stay positive as always 😊

    Yep, some people in Japan can react disproportionately when it comes to some perceived minor rule infringement esp. by a foreigner. Considering all the events going on in the world and it's a gimbal/selfie stick that almost caused an international diplomatic incident! Anyhow their policy seems so hazy that their staff don't understand it - drop their Public Relations director a message, the departmental directors will be listed on their website.
    BTW That's a lovely shot of the wind chimes - it says Japanese Summer like nothing else - oh maybe except for the cicadas.. and the heat & humidity.

    I was in that museum in June and I did not know video taping was not allowed. I was taking a video of a state of the art animation when a woman came over to me and demanded that I delete the video. Probably the same Karen!

    • @HappyGaijin
      @HappyGaijin  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The difference is that I wasn’t using my camera! It was off, in its case and hadn’t been used (plus as mentioned I asked previously if I could use it) anyway, it’s all good.. not the end of the world

    • @towada1066
      @towada1066 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is reasonable to me. If you had been filming during a theatre or kabuki performance they would have confiscated your camera.

    Sadly a bad experience sears into our mind more than a positive one. Part of the Darwinian evolution warning. Stay positive and be a happy gaijin!

  • @towada1066
    @towada1066 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I think, especially now in 2024, foreign tourism has become too much. You may be tolerated but not really welcome in some places. I think also the weak En exchange rate is making more people feel poorer and easy to resent foreigners.

      So complaining about a Karen is wrong? Or is it... 2 Karens don't make a right?
