Just out of interest, what kinds of things happen in Thailand? Similar stuff?

To me, the interesting things about Japan are its self-image and its reputation overseas. I think a lot of people come here expecting ultra-obedient kids and extreme politeness everywhere they go, which is of course isn't going to be the case anywhere. It makes all the everyday stuff mentioned in this thread quite a shock when you first arrive.
