Safety in numbers

When abroad, it’s not uncommon for Japanese tourists to travel around in tightly formed groups. More often than not led by a flag waving tour guide. But as you can see from this picture I took recently, such behaviour is not just restricted to trips outside Japan.

Yet what’s more disturbing is that they all seem to be wearing the same hat!

    Ah but it seems this guide perfers the use of a paper plate rather than flag.

    It’s not uncommon to see Taiwanese and Korean tourists behaving like that.
