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.

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?

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

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.

i travel to indonesia many times and have always found the people very
polite especially the balinese

Nope. I'd suggest going to France instead.

LOL

They use "permisi" which is a variation of the English (or what ever)
"permission", or they could shorten it much further into "misi".

And that's what they use regulary in day to day life.



As for "maaf" or "maafkan saya".

That's the equivalent of "forgive" or "forgive me", maybe also "sorry"
or "I'm sorry".

That one could also work though.



As for anything to see in Asia.

One travel to foreign places and foreign countries to appreciate one's
own home and home country. The best way to be a patriot is to travel to
other countries.

That's why the U.S.A. government, the United Kingdom government, and so
on give a notice to the citizens of these governments on not to do any
'unnecessary travel', they are preventing the citizens of these
countries of feeling more patriotisme. The other reasons of course is
to terrorize these citizens, just imagine traveling with a travel
notice/warning and traveling without a travel notice/warning, which one
that has more terror factor in it?

When you pre-judge a people based on what you've "been told" that is
called, by definition, prejudice.

u better excuse yourself out of asia...stay at home.

This Nomad guy is probably mistissini ) who
started this impressive thread back in August:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...96a58e2c4a55d5

He is quite an effective troll, and one of his attempts at frustrating
people is by only saying what he doesn't want to see or do. This time
around he has not done nearly as well as his previous attempt, which
netted a thread of over 400 responses in RTE.

Perfect place would be singapore...lots of public whippings and
beheadings (where do you think the iraqs got their ideas from?),
street fights (usually over parking lot contentions)....etc...
