The worst type of #tourist in #Japan are the westerners who complain about #Chinese tourists (quite often, actually #Taiwanese, #Korean or #SEAsian but they don't know or care to tell the difference) and don't realize that it's actually them who are the most annoying.
I see way more bad or stupid behavior, especially in #Kyoto, from western tourists than Asian tourists.
Euphemisms in a #climate talk - in one #SEAsian country, "anti-corruption" drive is creating "policy uncertainty" that harms progress on the #energytransition.
Of course, the "anti-corruption" drive they are referring to is the arbitrary arrest of environmentalist and human right defenders by an increasingly #authoritarian government.
Some works that caught my eye at the Ilham Gallery group show. Curated by Patrick Flores, DREAM OF THE DAY is an exhibition that "proposes the possibility of different forms of intelligence and instinct that might be more responsive to a wider range of life-forms which exist in a vaster inter-species, transgenic world."
