no offence taken mate.
That actually makes sense.
I do kind of understand why there are these signs. Some foreigners in Japan are a disgrace! They take advantage of the cheap Japanese all you can drink deals get far too drunk & do stupid stupid things.
A lad I work with is a horrible horrible drunk. He gets load, obnoxious & violent when drunk. I've stopped going out with him for this reason. Last time he got really drunk started kicking random Japanese men in the ass in the izakaya. Was shouting at everybody in English. Called my mate Carol a slut then tried to get off with her & tried to smoke in the train.
So I understand why there are these signs but it's still not nice to be tarred with same brush.
The other day I was sat on the train & there were these american military guys there. Sorry to any americans here but your military presence in Japan is a main cause of the animosity towards foreigners. These 3 women were literally shouting on the train. Swearing & being generally rude to everyone.
I was sitting a little further away so obviously had no connection with them but I got the same dirty looks from everyone in the train.
