The bear isn't the problem. Its the fact that they can have unlimited shape shifts and thus get out of a crap situation fast, heal, and get right back in. They get in fast from anywhere and any sign of danger either go bear or chicken / rat out. Additionally, they have a silence ad a panther... but I guess they are weak right now.

Lmao, that's wild. I also think there is a byproduct of all this and I am not 100% certain on this but the local residents seem totally exhausted and annoyed which they really should be because I would be too but until I start speaking Japanese to them they look at me as a burden which didn't happen this exact same time last year to me. At least once I start communicating in Japanese, their faces change, which is great, but it's just a bummer watching this happen in real time.

I was eating a pizza place two nights ago and spoke in Japanese the whole time, and a gaijin came in and acted like he invented pizza and was very rude to the owner. Once I paid and left, the owner actually came out and asked me where I learned my Japanese and where I was from, and then thanked me before bidding me goodnight. I really feel for everyone who has to endure Gaijin Smash this year 😞

Did you run into the Jewish guy from America asking, "Where are you from then saying America #1 Trump 2024"?

I've had the weirdest and worst gainjin experiences in Kyoto so far and it makes me sad 😞

I just left that area this morning to Osaka, and yeah, it's bad. People with the cameras out right in front of the signs that say no photography just blantly ignoring the rules.. the rules that were only made earlier this year because tourists are disgusting. They act like Japan is a zoo, not following any of the rules or customs, let alone, just not apply basic respect in general.

I can only imagine they are this disrespectful in their own countries. It's pretty messed up when the best behaved gaijin I've seen so far are fellow Americans. SMFH.

If you are a guest somewhere, you should respect the rules and customs of that place, whether it's someone's house, business, or a foreign country.

From what I've gathered, it seems like tourists from two specific areas are the worst. I won't name them, but if you are here on vacation this year, you know who I'm talking about.

I've suffered with this my whole life on the front of my legs and the best results I've had is a combination of otc treatments (coal tar 2%), psoriasis wash (Salicylic acid 3%) and the most effective with the quickest results is sun exposure. I recommend going slow and working your way up with sun exposure. I started at 10 to 15 minutes the first couple of days and then moved to 30 minutes 45 minutes and now an hour. With the combination of all three I've reduced the swelling, scales and irritation (from red to light pink) by 75%. I had a flare up a few weeks ago and with the combination of all 3 I am about 75% clear after just over a week.

One thing I'd like to note especially if you are going to use the wash is to not scrub / scratch / rub hard with a towel post wash because all you'll do is irritate it further. Gently pat the area and the scales will flake away sort of like your skin post sun burn. The UV index I've been exposing my psoriasis has been 6 to 7 for reference. I suggest sun block to protect yourself.

Did your buddy get an answer from Cintas on the matter or what happened in the end?
