if you come from clean, courteous Japan that is;)

"In Japanese shops, the customer is king, whereas here assistants hardly look at them ... People using public transport all look stern, and handbag snatchers increase the ill feeling."

A Japanese woman, Aimi, told the paper:

"For us, Paris is a dream city. All the French are beautiful and elegant ... And then, when they arrive, the Japanese find the French character is the complete opposite of their own."



So one should probably visit Disneyland Paris before Tokyo Disneyland rather than the other way around:D

I've had guests from other countries tell me that their travel agents told them that ALL the people in Los Angeles will rob them.

Every CM we encoutnered at Disneyland Paris was cheerful, friendly, willing to chat, and helpful. Maybe it was because we approached them cheefully and friendly...ly, and without assuming they were jerks just because they were French. *shrug* Or not.

Perhaps rather than sending these confused folks to a paris doc-in-a-box they should get a trip to Paris Disneyland.
