How to tell whether someone is a tourist or a foreigner living in Japan: the tourists wear their backpacks on their fronts

@JezebelKat They probably assume it's an anime thing or something :/

@squeekzoid It's like, did you even see the name on the card?

@JezebelKat Ugh. Tokyo must have 10000x as many tourists as we have in Osaka (especially Tennoji). We just get people looking to bakugai

@squeekzoid I spent my first four years in rural Kyoto. Kitakinki, baby. And Kyoto and Osaka were rarely this bad. Tokyo is the WORST.

@JezebelKat Yeahhh, no thank you on living in Tokyo. I'm from a city of 23,000 people. Osaka is plenty for me.

@squeekzoid But right now, I live outside it. In my Saitama community, everyone knows me. This does not happen. EVER.

@JezebelKat I don't even know my neighbors, haha

@squeekzoid I don't know my immediate neighbors, but I know people in the general neighborhood and my nameplate says 鮎川.

@squeekzoid Townhouse nameplate, I mean.
