外国人観光客の増加と影響
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello, hello.
Hello.
So, okay, okay.
This one.
Thank you.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Those things, right?
Yeah.
How do you deal with those every day?
We're getting a lot more and more people from abroad coming in, right?
And it's, things are being more different, you know?
Isn't going the way that we used to run things, right?
There's different cultures coming in.
And sometimes stressful, right?
How do you deal with that?
マナーに関する対処法
I would say half of the situations I just ignore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But half of the situation, like, I'd say.
You tell them?
Yeah.
Like, what tone?
Like, what words do you use?
It's, like, as if they don't know what they should do in Japan.
Okay.
So, I'm not, like, being, like, angry or mad.
I just say, hey, this is something we should do.
It's, I'm not going, like, hey, like, you know.
Yeah.
Those ones.
Where do you draw the line of, like, tell them or not tell them?
It's the distance.
Like, when you're close enough to them?
Oh, I see.
If it's, like, for example, like, we're lining up and just, it's just next to me or, like, just in front of me, I would say.
But if it's, like, I don't know, like, 四人後?
Yeah.
It's, I don't know.
Too far?
I don't say that.
I just, yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
What about, like, the amount of, like, how off they are?
For example, like, they're sitting down in the street.
There's a lot of tourists just sitting down at a random area.
That or, like, talking too loudly, like, in the train when everybody's quiet.
Yeah.
Or.
So, like, sitting on the street, I've never said anything to them.
I just gave them look.
The look?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've never spoken to them.
But speaking loudly on the train, if they are, like, really just next to me, I would say.
But if it's, like, this distance, I think I don't say anything.
Like, a meter away?
Yeah, like, two meters.
Two meters away?
Uh-huh.
If it's not, like, next to each other or, like, touchable distance, I think I don't say.
What about you?
観光客とのやり取り
I've never said it.
Oh, really?
Well, like, not never, but, like, I don't usually say it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're a brave man for doing that.
No, I mean.
I think you're.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Should you?
Right?
The question, right?
Right.
But if they control loudly, like, the understandable loudness, I don't, I mean, I just let them
just do whatever they want.
But if they, like, start, I don't know, like, dancing or, like, I don't know, too loud.
Yeah.
What about, what's their reaction when you tell them?
I feel like most of them, like, oh, sorry, sorry.
And they just, they, that's what I, yeah.
I see.
I see.
Most of the times.
Yeah.
I see.
They've never, like, being mad or, like, punch back to me.
They're like, oh, sorry, sorry.
I see.
I see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So, how do you deal with them?
I, I, I, I just, there's a little bit of me inside of me, like, should I say something
about this?
Nah.
I don't know what to say.
But I'm getting more and more of, like, I should start saying it, you know?
Yeah.
I'm getting more of that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like I, yeah, because you can speak English.
Well, I can kind of speak English, so.
Yeah.
I can do this, kind of.
Right.
We've got the power.
We've got the power solution.
That's true.
Yeah.
That's true.
But the other day I was on the street.
Yeah.
And there was, like, one lady who seems, don't know which way to go.
Kind of so harsh.
I thought she was lost.
And she was, like, on the phone, like, do this.
And I wanted to help.
She was from abroad.
Yeah.
And I, with that huge backpack.
Yeah.
And I knew, so I knew she was from abroad.
And I wanted to help her.
And speak, spoken in English.
And she refused me, like, really hard.
Like, no.
Like, and then I was, oh, I'm sorry.
And that happened first time in my life.
And oh, my kind heart.
Like, I was trying to be kind and just.
I got the same thing.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I had the same thing.
Like, I, there was, they were lost.
Right.
They were lost in the train.
Yeah.
Like, hey, you guys need help?
And they were like, no, we're okay.
Yeah.
It felt like they thought that I was some sort of a scammer.
Yeah, yeah, I guess.
Was the vibe that I got.
I see.
You know.
I see.
It's like, you know, New York.
You're walking in the street.
Some guy comes up to you.
Hey, you want a free CD?
Uh-huh.
No, I'm good.
I'm good, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's so sad.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I get it.
I get it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that made it hard to help people.
After that, I hesitate sometimes.
I know.
Like, how can I approach them without them thinking that I'm not a scammer?
Right.
Right.
Right.
That's kind of hard, actually.
It's the exact same mentality as a scammer, though.
Yeah.
Right.
That's what they're trying to figure out.
So it really is difficult.
Yeah.
It's completely the same.
Yeah.
Ultimately.
Right.
Being gentle, the more closer to become scammers.
Exactly.
That's kind of hard.
It's really hard.
Yeah.
I get it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
So.
観光客のマナーの実態
What was the worst manner you've ever seen in Japan?
Oh, this is I just saw on the video.
So that was not I saw the situation, but there were people climb on the Hachiko.
Oh.
And then they climb on the Hachiko and took some photos.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was yours?
In real life.
Okay.
Yeah.
Nothing too crazy, though.
But, you know, a group of family just in a relatively crowded train, just laying on the seat, just flat out laying down like this, you know, like taking a nap.
People just standing over.
That was kind of crazy.
That's crazy.
That's kind of crazy.
That's crazy.
And like at one moment, like kind of half woke up to check if that was the train he was getting off at.
Okay.
So he so he got up.
It wasn't like he was completely unconscious and was unaware of the surrounding.
He got up.
He checked the station and he went back to sleep.
So he's like he knows what's going on.
He just doesn't read the room.
That's terrible.
Terrible.
That's terrible.
Yeah.
He knew he was good and just still did that.
Right.
That's terrible.
So.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
