  • Maybe but Japanese people are super friendly.

    I got lost in a random Tokyo neighborhood and a random guy came out, tapped my dude shoulders and showed my ugly ass where my Airbnb was. This was after the Uber driver walked me 1.5 blocks (leaving his car engine on with the keys inside) to show me where he thought it was. I went to a bar and the bartender snuck a umbrella in my arm when it rained, and told me if I got lost, to call him. And a random person, realizing I was born stupid, help me use a washing machine.

    Amazing amazing humans in Japan.












  • I shared this before.

    If you were a person of color, having Uber and Airbnb were a game changer. Taxis and hotels were awful from the 80s-2010s.

    Taxis were racists and often wouldn’t even pick you up. If they did, they often took you on a joyride. Hotels were absolute shit holes. Want to complain about your room? Go pound sand.

    Those industries werent good for decades. And the disruption actually made car sharing much more consistent and hotel experiences better.
