…is stupid

Thanks Instagram and Tiktok! One of the many examples of over-tourism due to social media.

The train street highlights the expectations vs reality. A textbook example of how a street that was once quiet, is now an over-tourism hotspot. Expensive coffee paired with a side of questionable safety. We would never dream of doing this at home, but in a foreign country, it’s an adventure!

It’s interesting what we’ll do for the ‘gram in a foreign country that we’d never try at our local train station. What ever happened to “staying behind the yellow line?”.

Tourists sitting at bars and coffee shops waiting for the train to arrive.

Phones pulled out, trying to capture the moment the train comes, standing dangerously close to the railway.

Living in the moment? Or lack of safety awareness? Anything for the ‘gram

Tables dangerously close to the trains. If the table moves or if someone sticks something out of the train, its a disaster waiting to happen.

Tourists who put bottle caps on the railway before the train came, trying to find it again. What else could someone put on there?
