lol. in my country every single tourists expects us to speak english. italians usually want me to speak also italian. well most of us do speak english.
i imagine all of the tourists would be pissed off i people here would only speak latvian.

and yes those are too high expectations you have for being treated equally. you are visiting a country in which 99.999% of all gaijin speak other languages. only that 0.001% knows japanese or even less. so, if you had to bet on a horese? which one would you chose? the one with 99.999% chance? well if you are not a retard you will. so will businesses who are interested in their client satisfaction.
