When I visited Yellowstone a couple years ago the Asian visitors routinely ignored warning signs, crossed boundaries and walked in delicate areas, generally acted like they owned the place. They were the only ones who did so. I can imagine how this kid has been raised.

She’ll have some nice scars to remind her of her stupidity.

I read a book about death in Yellowstone called Death in Yellowstone, oddly enough. Talked about falls and scalding and whitewater and animals and weather, all sorts of fun methods. It mentioned that Asians were injured and killed far out of proportion to their percentages.

Japanese in particular seem to like close up selfies of their children and wild animals. I have a theory.

The Japanese, Chinese, all of them, have lived in the same place for 2500 years, and have long since either domesticated or eaten any and all threats. Is it possible that the instinctive reaction to dangerous wildlife has been bred out of the species?

Been to Yellowstone. We stopped a campground so the ex could use the bathroom, and were informed that we should stay in the car or the bathroom while a herd of buff moved thru. The ranger said that the buffs have the right of way.
