Default Is there anything to see in Asia?

Hi, I don't like crowded places, or places where people don't say excuse me.
I've heard many arguments over the years about how I should "accept" such
behavior, but I cannot. Is there anything left to see in Asia? Religion
does not interest me either.

No, there's not. Nothing to see. Stay home. With an attitude like yours
both you and Asia will be better off that way.

What do you do to other people that they have to excuse you?

If someone were to say "excuse me" to you in Mandarin, Cantonese,
Hokkien, Thai, Malay, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Bahasa Indonesian,
Tagalog, etc., etc. would you even know it?

No, there's nothing to see in asia. You should definately stay home,
stay in front of your computer and keep trolling. Eventually you'll get
good at it.

I'm told there is no tradition of saying "excuse me" in their cultures. It
definitely shows when they live here.

As you've already established that there's nothing to see in Europe, why not
just stay home and bugger off with your inane trolling. Perhaps you'll post
to rec.travel.antarctica next and find out that penguins don't say excuse me
either.

Get a life.

The word is "permisi" in Indonesian and it is used widely. I am in
Indonesia.
I have no idea about the others and I suspect you really don't either.
Like you I like politeness; but I also don't like prejudice either.

They don't use "maaf" or "maafkan saya"?
