Japanese workers working #13

Whether at home or abroad, the Japanese tour guide, followed Pied Piper-like by a long procession of people, is certainly not an uncommon sight — far from it in fact. Yet as well as feeding folk information and fielding a flag, the modern guide it seems also has to be pretty efficient at taking photos, while at the same time dealing with a tremendous array of technology, all the way from the latest digital devices, to the surprisingly still not defunct, disposable.

Meaning that all in all it’s a profession that, perhaps now more than ever, must present more than a few frustrations, and yet at the same time, for some at least, it can be a fair amount of fun too.
