  • Probably because thats where the most people are.

    No, they’re often less dense and smaller than residential areas, and more walkable, but they attract people who don’t give a shit because they’re in a mindset where they don’t give a shit. They require a lot more cleaning too.

    When you go to Asia

    Already there. Also you should be more specific, EA and even Central Asian countries are reasonably clean. When you’re talking about places with monumental amounts of trash, you mean SEA and India, and even there, lots of places aren’t like that.

    Places that are a bit more affluent tend to have the resources to dedicate to keeping the streets clean. Westerners on vacation don’t have an excuse.

    The Japanese are better than the westerners

    Maybe, in cities, but there’s a bit of a littering problem in more rural areas and in rivers. Also in the poorer areas of cities.


  • no littering sign. Only in Indonesian

    Not really related, but in Japan, I came across a monolingual sign that said: “In Japanese culture, it is considered impolite to piss in public”.

    Westerners don’t litter but the locals do

    Have you not seen how westerners behave on vacation? Maybe you got lucky, but there’s a reason the tourist part of nearly every city has the most litter

    This isn’t semantics, the “China” they’re referring to is the same place, both governments claim to be the legitimate ruler of all of China, It’s not “The Republic of One Little Island off China” and “The People’s Republic of All of China Except That One Little Island”.

    Look at a map of their claimed territories, they’re 95% identical.
