Foreign tourists are encouraged to always be polite in Kyoto. It is no longer a secret if the Kyoto region, Japan has a variety of destinations and cultures that attract tourists.

However, in recent times Kyoto has asked tourists who come to act more politely.

Yes, it is known that many tourists who come to Kyoto have made the locals less comfortable.

Tourist visits to Kyoto in recent times have increased rapidly.

In Kyoto, tourists will be treated to various ethnic temple buildings such as Fushimi Inari and take a walk to find geisha.

Of the many tourists, it turns out there are still tourists who do not follow the rules and act less politely.

Tourists smoke in public places, are noisy while in the temple and throw garbage at random, which makes many Kyoto residents less comfortable.

And you know, that Kyoto residents don't like tourists who huddle and cover the sidewalk.

Therefore, Kyoto residents ask tourists to act more politely.

One student from Kyoto Women's University was also reported to have made a brochure containing information regarding the rules of tourist rules while in Japan.

The information provided is written in English and Chinese.

The Kyoto government through tourism agencies has also often provided information for tourists both through advertisements and social media.

They always remind tourists to act politely and respect Kyoto citizens.

Until now there has been no plan from the Kyoto Government to provide fines for tourists who violate or are not polite.

Because of the Pickup Photo Trend, Easter Island Will Experience Overtourism

With its status as a UNESCO cultural heritage site, Easter Island in Chile has long been a favorite destination for tourists from all over the world.

Even so, like other famous tourist destinations, Easter Island is also threatened by damage due to over tourism problems.

One of the problems that Easter Island is facing and is expected to invite many tourists is the trend of "picking" photos.

The photo trend of "picking up" this Moai statue is a new thing among tourists.

Although at first glance it doesn't seem detrimental, archaeologist Jo Anne Van Tilburg is worried that this photo trend will invite more tourists to come and be "eccentric".

Jo Anne Van Tilburg himself worked to educate tourists on Easter Island to be polite and responsible.

"Because photography spreads everywhere, people will take the same picture repeatedly. As soon as one person poses to clean Moai's nose, there will be thousands of other people doing it," said Van Tilburg.

"There is nothing creative or interesting or funny about it," he added.

It is known, the number of visitors to Easter Island itself has indeed experienced a drastic increase. In 1980, tourists who came to Rapa Nui National Park only amounted to 2,000-5,000 per year.

However, at present, around 100,000 tourists are coming per year. On the other hand, the population on Easter Island is only around 5,000.

Not to mention, in 2008, a Finnish tourist came to Paskah Island and stole part of the moai statue's ear.

Not surprisingly, many archaeologists are anxious if this latest trend makes a lot of impolite tourists come to visit.

Even so, Van Tilburg also added that tourists could do a little preparation to respect Easter Island more.

"Read and prepare. If you show that you are interested, then your tour guide will treat you seriously. Make sure your question deserves an answer," he explained.

"There are 1,000 statues and there are 5,000 people here," Van Tilburg added. "The statues are equally important."

It didn't take long, Hunter's portrait became viral because of its wave-like shape.

According to the meteorologist who saw Hunter's photo, the unique shape of the cloud was classified as "very rare and usually not that clear".

The cloud itself is called the Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud.

The Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud will be formed when there are differences in wind speed at the upper and lower levels of the atmosphere.

This process is similar to how waves form in the oceans, so it's not surprising that these clouds have the same shape.
