Chinese tourist criticized for eating too many free food samples, using public sink to wash hair during Japan trip

At the airport bathrooms, he treated a public sink like a personal spa, filming himself washing his hair and using the hand dryer as a makeshift hairdryer, the South China Morning Post reported.

While aboard the Nankai Electric Railway on his way to Osaka, he was filmed doing pull-ups on the train's hanging handles, turning the fixtures into fitness equipment.

In an attempt to save money on drinks, he demonstrated how to "drink water for free" by walking into a restaurant, asking for a cup, and guzzling free tea before exiting without making a purchase.

At a local market, he approached a fruit stall offering small samples. He treated the tasting plate as his personal buffet, eating grapes one by one with a bamboo skewer.

The vendor noticed and reminded him to dispose of the used skewer, but he ignored her, continuing to use it until she covered the sample plate with cling film.

He only stopped after eating seven grapes, prompting the vendor to remove the entire sample tray.

The incident sparked a wave of criticism on social media.

"Absolutely shameless," a netizen wrote.

"I suggest such Chinese tourist attends and passes public etiquette lessons as pre-requisites to passports approvals," another wrote.

"When you landed in another country, you are representing your country, remember that," another commented.
