#2Ah the age old story of something being loved to death.

#3> In a country known for its lack of sanitation, this is no small feat. But in Mawlynnong, children are taught to tidy up from a young age, with many taking to the streets each morning before school to sweep the town of dead leaves and empty rubbish bins. Villagers see to the disposal of biodegradables and take pride in public landscaping.
Culture is real.

These should not be a thing. What is it that makes folk feel so entitled?
"Lack of litter bins"; isn't an excuse. I've seen folk stand next to a litter bin, light up and then throw the cigarettes end to the ground.
You're literally standing next to a litter bin!
It should be common sense not to spit nor to litter. Spitting is the worse and I see it all the time here in the UK.

It really bothers me when they spit on days where it is below freezing. It becomes a slip hazard on sidewalks.

Its so mindboggling. Littering wssnt even an option in my head as a child. Always carry your trash until you can properly dispose.
What the hell is wrong with people?

#7Cleaner than Japan? That's something...
Re: Mawlynnong, India, transformed by tourism, bans visitors on Sundays
#8Reading the title generates imagery of a city in Japan being overrun by foreigners.
The actual content is about a self-proclaimed 'Asia's cleanest village' in India, banning Sunday visits from other domestic Indians.
Probably wouldn't be a popular story if this was revealed in the title.

How do you reconcile you complaint about complaining about the tourist ban with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which says people have the right to freedom of movement within the borders of each state?

Same here. I find it hard to understand people who litter.
