Influencers gone wild. This inconsiderate person spent almost 30 minutes in front of the Bridge of Sighs in Venice dead center taking endless shots with minute angle changes. I finally gave up and moved right next to her. Seriously people #rude #inconsiderate #badtourists

The list of offences is long: an American tourist in his 60s was arrested for graffiti at Tokyo’s Meiji Jingu shrine; four Sri Lankans were questioned in connection with the theft of 220 cars; a Chinese woman was accused of running an illegal brothel; a British man is linked to a 13 million yen (US$83,200) theft; and a Chilean woman was filmed doing pull-ups on a shrine’s “torii” gate.
This growing backlash over these misdeeds is not only coming from the Japanese public but also from long-term foreign residents, who worry that these incidents may lead locals to view all outsiders as troublemakers, jeopardising the livelihoods and relationships they have built in their adopted country.
