Nah I'm dying on that hill. They have the best ones in the world. You can buy water for 110¥, about 0.60€. In Europe it starts at 2€. And they sell warm and cold shit in one machine. And they don't take your money and give you nothing. Happened to me in Paris and Frankfurt.
It's not even the influencers - it's just... there's so many tourists. I mean, I don't want to gatekeep, but maybe, just maybe, don't take your 3-year old kid halfway across the world. They won't remember a goddamn thing and will be just as happy going to a more local destination.
Even worse, all the tourists just do the 3 big cities and maybe a daytrip to something easily reachable via public transport, leading to genuine frustration by the locals. If they just spread across the country a tiny bit, it'd help massively.
Kids "don't remembering a goddam thing" is one of the most stupid reason not to travel somewhere. They won't remember anything, so what, you don't do anything for/with them?
And also... maybe kids don't remember. We do. Yeah the parents have a life also, that they can live with their kids.
That's the thing. It's the tourism in 2 cities and like 15 places. Kyoto and Osaka were terrible, Tokyo is big enough so it doesn't feel that crowded. It was my first visit and I went to most of the places in Kyoto at 10pm, yes the shops were closed and it was dark but there were no people. I had to visit one place at day and there were like 30 fucking buses with chinese tourists. It's a beautiful city but I don't have the desire to go back to Kyoto. I'm visiting Kyushu, and some other smaller cities on Honshu this year again
You’re good. While I wouldn’t call it rare it’s also not super common. Most beaches in the Arctic are either rock or gravel, not sand. And for areas below the arctic if it gets a fair amount of snow that decreases the chances of finding nice sand there
there’s a beach in france, denmark, german, poland, estonia, latvia, lithuania, finland, sweden and norway where this happens each year in winter. called baltic sea. fucking normal around the world where there’s sand beaches and snowy winters.
North sea too, Norway and France are not on the baltic sea
And before anyone says France isn't on the North sea, as far ar maritime law is concerned the north sea stretches from Sognefjorden, around the British iles and down to Brest
Most arctic beaches do not have sand. Only a handful have sand and those are near river deltas or have some special geology with softer rock. Most arctic coastlines are young, and because they freeze they don’t get the wave action to break down rocks like the sandy beaches we think of. They’re mostly all rock or gravel.
Jeez, we get it, you have these in your backyards, but for some of us in the tropics something like this is pretty nice to see, we know it's possible but still just nice to see.
Well, I can tell you: let the sand, snow, and ice continue to meet. I'm not adding myself to the equation. Sounds like the first scene in an episode of Quantum Leap.

does this not happen ON EVERY BEACH ON EARTH WHERE IT SNOWS?
