Not only manners...is required to be taught....
I was out snorkeling around Ko lanta...yesterday, and we have found a good spoot...lots of Coral..big clams and abundance of fish, was even chased by a trigger hehe.
There where also barracudas and small ref sharks, and parrot fish and so on, good visibility and so on.
along comes this boat filled with japanese tourists, and i mean alot of them, around 40 or so..these halvfbrained nimbwits, cannot swim, but get into the water nonetheless, scare all the fish away, throw trash all over...but that is not the worst...as i said the coral here almost went to the surface, and these morons, stands on the big brain corals, i was so in shock, that i nearly drowned. Within minutes the whole area has 0 visibility, because coral pieces are clouding the sea.
I try to explain to a fat japanese teenager, what he is doing no response, dont think he could speak english, and my handsigns didnt help either.
I try to speak to the pilot of my speedboat, and he explains the situation to the pilot of the japanese tourist vessel.....big mistake.
within minutes the horde from nippon enters their boat, and sails 200 meter longer alongside the cliff, and does the same mistake all over again....at that time i had been snorkeling in the most prestine still waters for over 7 hours, and i had chatered the boat to around 1800 hours..Im so depressed when i look at their brutal rape of the reef, that i only want to go home and drink some beer, which i do....in my drunkeness i make a a plan i which most of japan is destroyed...but alas only in the dreams
Well today is Kings birthday, and i think i will go to the temple and pray for my sins...have fun out there.
