I met a group of Australians staying at the same hotel in Kuala Lumpur who had their free meals at a Buddhist temple, They had money to travel but helped themselves to free meals meant for the poor.
Infuriating. the way Aussies bogans behave in Bali and the British chavs behave in Southern Spain is ridiculous.
This is nonsense, if things are so bad, these guys can collect plastics like other desperate poor people are forced to do..These guys are a call away from family, friends in the West,if they are truly stuck, a luxury most do not have..
It's very offensive when travelers who claim to be edgy and adventurous base their journey on disrespecting a developing country. The status quo already disrespects such countries. The truly rebellious and adventurous thing to do is to actually behave with dignity and treat locals well when you go there.
If asian people from developing world need to pass complicated birocracy in order to get visa to Europe
If Asians are caught begging in Europe, they will be deported back to their home countries.
@@indian2003 exactly!
Yes you really right brother make a shame in our own country ❤❤
Them throwing the baby for money, is what got me...
You can choose not to give the panhandlers money, that will solve your problem.
I´m with him. If you´re going to go fly far away to another country, mack sure you have a ticket home. Plan your itinerary and book your lodging in advance. I make sure my accommodation is prepaid before I go on a trip. Aside from having enough for souvenirs and food, make sure you got a way back home. They´re making other Western travelers look bad. Even Japan has made restrictions because of visitors that don´t know how to act right.
We need Charles Sobhraj back.
I agree but at the same time it is interesting and sad to see how against street performance Asians are. They think it's all begging.
It is begging.
Look at the picture and u tell me, what's do the guy do? Showing his pretty little European face as a party trick for money?
No, thats what I call beggar
You’re probably one of them
@@JackFrost-ib3xr these guys are disgusting and pathetic - I get it - disgusting like drunk Aussies throwing up in balinese temples and disrespecting local culture. I have always avoided Aussies when abroad for this reason. BUT many of the white skinned Aussies shown in this clip clearly have Iranian/slavic/turkish/Arab or half asian blood. middle class 'European' Aussies look down on bogans regardless of background. so your response is totally racist. it has nothing to do with 'europeanality'. I would have been more accepting of it if you just said 'stupid lazy white Aussies' because technically that's closer to the truth. but please dont just say European. u clearly have no lived in Europe. ironically I lived in London 20 years and Romani gypsies always busk and some beg on the underground train as well with a brass band. I use to love them and tipped. despite that the newspapers did several articles on how train beggers/buskers were all on benefits - I didnt care. I loved them. others didn't so what!? same with carribiean and African people begging and busking in London (and no begging and busking is not the same thing I do realise that!) so other cultures and travellers busking AND begging in foreign lands is very human. its just that Aussies do it in such an arrogant, oblivious way - when people are suffering much more than them around them or poorer than them. and that guy throwing the baby should be in prison - bloody stoned hippies - rainbow fascists - the fact that these people breed is terrifying.
Because it's begging
What's his problem They are not stealing or hurting anyone. He has some agenda going through his narrow mind.
What he is trying to say is that the tourist have money to come to the country , why do they need to beg for money. Also since I live in South-east Asia, it is a unpleasant sight to see buskers / beggars
Agenda? If Asian do the same in America/Europe, I'm pretty sure authorities will deal with them in unpleasant ways.
Imagine a person coming into your country, well abled to work but decided to beg for money so that they can feed their superficial lifestyle?
they are lazy - I have no sympathy. if they were offering great music like the Romani gypsies that busk illegally on the London underground trains then fair play - its a service to culture and atmosphere but these Bali-holiday beer drinkers are not doing that. they are a waste of space. and the baby thrower is abusive.
Can Asians do the same in the West without being racially abused and discriminated?
