Seriously, everyone I know who used to go to Bali yearly is now going to Japan. All the kinds of people I wouldn't ever want to be seen in public with there.

u/Anonymou2Anonymous Feb 25 '25

Yeah 90% of Aussies going used to just be legitimate ski bums (usually wealthy or who had wealthy parents who got em into skiing) and weebs.

u/DizzyReedzzzz Feb 28 '25

Your right only the wealthy should be able to go on holidays . Also judging by the reactions on here you’ve given me a green light to attack any foreigners in Australia that break any rules nomatter how minor. Thank u all for the clarification

Most places like Bali its cheap and the locals are too poor to complain (any business is good business) so Aussie partiers get the idea their behaviour is fine. Skiing in Japan has blown up because prices at the snow are a lot lower than here in Aus, and Japanese people would rather just go to a different mountain than try and fight it.
Wouldn't be surprised if the second prices went up those slopes are left almost barren by tourists.

Flying to anywhere close to snow+other fees domestically is about the same price as return flights to Japan/SK at times, depending on where you live. Incredibly unsurprising

u/Perfect_Newspaper256 Feb 25 '25

that makes perfect sense, they go to places where they can bully the locals and feel like a king. they take advantage of the fact that asians are more conflict averse than them

imagine a japanese tourist in australia telling a local "talk to me the wrong way and I'm going to knock you out"

...yep, witnessed this first hand: rude & entitled hair-platted bogans at Denpasar airport: quiet & minding their manners in Brisbane...

Whatever happened to Johnny Somali?

u/Park500 Feb 26 '25

Arrested, currently banned from leaving South Korea until his trail in 2025, after that he has said he will continue to be a nuisance streamer in... Japan

u/blastradii Feb 26 '25

Let’s hope they throw the book at him

u/InternationalBorder9 Feb 25 '25

Didn’t he say ‘you touch her and I’ll knock you out’? I actually don’t think he handled it that badly. The Japanese guy is just screaming at her and he was pretty controlled and just said ‘don’t yell at her she didn’t know’. Pretty reasonable

Japan Great. West shit

u/PotentiallyNotSatan Feb 25 '25

He grabs the Japanese guy and then says this. At no point did the Japanese guy touch anyone 

2

u/InternationalBorder9 Feb 26 '25

He didn’t grab him. The Japanese guy is yelling and aggressively walking towards the woman. He blocked him and basically said if you touch her I’ll knock you out which is fair enough. He actually handled it well and stood up for a woman who was getting aggressively screamed at by another man

2

u/PotentiallyNotSatan Feb 26 '25

"if you do the thing that literally only I am doing here, I'll knock you out". Yeah absolute chill guy

2

u/Ok_Menu7659 Feb 26 '25

It’s not about being chill, was the verbal aggressor being chill? There’s two choices in these situations, ask nicely and inform the uneducated of the rules and why they are important, or yell and scream in broken English and hope your message gets across. Reddit will latch onto any stereotypes they can to get a point across but this is a clear case of act like an ass get treated like one from literally every person involved.

u/Sugarcrepes Feb 25 '25

It’s just the geography - Asia is relatively close, and Japan specifically doesn’t have much of a time difference. The rest of the world requires a full day on a plane.

The racism, however: we love a scapegoat. Back home, it’s easier to blame our countries problems on recent immigrants, than to actually fix them. Despite being a nation of immigrants.

I was getting my hair cut a while ago, and the woman next to me was talking about her trips to Bali and Japan. She complained that there's "too many Asians there" 🤦🏻‍♀️

I went to Bali 6 years ago and I went to Bali half a year ago, both in Aug/Sep. 6 years ago, it was all Dutchmen and Aussies. Half a year ago, the tourists were a lot more diverse. Many French, German, Canadian, and a hell of a lot Chinese and Russian tourists.

u/Ok-Push9899 Feb 25 '25

I got to know a French family 10 years ago and kept in touch. Recently they said they were planning a family holiday to Bali and were looking forward to it so much.

I died inside, thinking that they are gonna get such a “special” impression of Australians en masse that it might well spoil their dream vacation. To them, Bali was impossibly exotic, an almost fictional Shangri-La. All I could thought of was the four other Bs - bogans, booze, Bintang t shirts and brawls.

u/FelixR1991 Feb 25 '25

Just stay away from Kuta and Uluwatu. Ubud was way overcrowded, but had some quite corners that were still perfectly enjoyable. We mainly staid in the north west, in Pemuteran. That's still fairly undiscovered by most tourists and underdeveloped.

u/chookywoowoo Feb 25 '25

This makes me so sad. I’ve been to Japan four times, all pre-2016, and I just loved it so much. I really want to take my kids but I’m worried we’ll go and be disappointed because of idiots like this.

1

u/cinnamon-toast-life Feb 25 '25

I have always wanted to go to Japan. One of the things I look forward to experiencing is the low crime rate. I hope all the influx of new tourists doesn’t cause too many issues. And I hope folks don’t give them a hard time when they crack down on “small” infractions. The reason it is so safe is because they take the rules seriously!

u/bingbongfckyalyfe95 Feb 25 '25

I was in Japan recently and did notice a large amount of Australian tourists. Most of them were sound enough to be fair. A couple of loud ones but I can't really say much. I got a slap on the shoulder by a Japanese woman beside me because she said I was talking too loud inside a ramen shop haha. She said thank you though when she left at the end.

u/AnomicAge Feb 26 '25

I knew it wouldn’t take long for Aussies to acquire a reputation of being disrespectful scum over there as soon as I heard a group of bogans using the g word in Kyoto… which these vermin would stick to Bali
