This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human. I saw my friends true colors after our Japan trip. So I blocked her. Blocker. Finding out my friend of five years was an absolute A-hole when taking her on her first trip to Japan one year after I moved back from there. So what did she do? By the way, this comes from throwaway venting on the R-Sash-O-K Storytime Celebrate. So wouldn't add to the itinerary at all, but complained every single day when we got there. I took her to popular stations in Tokyo since it was her first time, and we had seven days, but she wanted to go to the beaches and rise at 5 a.m. And stay out until 2 a.m. Oh, my God.

How does she? I know people like this. And I don't understand how you can live off of that little sleep. I mean, if you're in New York, you could do it. I don't get that. If I don't get like, oh, my God. If I got this little sleep, I would be a nightmare. You do it for a week And then

No, I would be a nightmare

If I did it one day

It would be a nightmare

Also get like, oh my God, if I got this little sleep, I would be a nightmare. You do it for a week and then you rest after. If I did it one day, it would be a nightmare. Also, like, doing this, I mean, complaining about everything is bad, but like it sounds like you guys just have vastly different travel styles. Yeah, which is. It's just going to lead to some nonsense coming up. You need to talk about travel styles before you go on

travel, like on trips. Like, I'm going to go to Mexico City during New Year's, and these people,

I've never traveled with these people, they are planning stuff and they're trying to spend

so much money. See, I am not a big spanner on trips. I'm like very frugal. I prefer to do free stuff or close to free. I like walking around talking to the locals and stuff and they're like, let's get, like, let's go to a club and get bottle surface. I'm like, like, that sounds. Why are you going? Huh? Just stay with us. Just stay and go. I don't know. Come to the news party. Anyway, getting back to this story.

Compared everything to Mexico, even wanting to tip a restaurant owner and USDA because I do it

in Mexico.

Wanted to tip everyone and argued the whole time when I told her, don't do it, it's rude.

And when I got to my Japanese friend to educate her on how to give proper thanks,

she finds one person online who said, it's not required, but appreciated it. And wouldn't stop pressing me about how it's so good to tip. She would ask me how my legs were doing and I'd answer honestly like, yeah, they hurt. And she later mocked and berated me saying it made her feel bad. I was complaining about my legs. I would not travel with this person.

I never said they hurt out of my own accord, nor did I stop what we were doing to ask for breaks.

If she asked, I said, yeah, but she'd rather I'd lie. I asked if she was thirsty while we waited

for open hours and she said no, so I went to find a coffee shop to grab one real quick. And she goes, I don't even want to go there, but you should have taken me to a real cafe. Y'all need to maybe, I think honestly, if this is how it was going, I'd be like, you know what, hey, let's, like, you can do whatever you want and I'm going to go do what I want. Yeah. I think people are really afraid of doing like solo travel stuff. But in places like Japan and also in Europe, definitely.

I mean, my experience is Europe.

It's very safe to do.

I once did that, but it didn't turn out well.

Oh, what?
