Yeah I get they're probably American but in their first experience they basically put down the US and in the same sentence imply other countries know better than us unmindful Americans, while also commenting in another post that the same Asian countries they praised have no concept of mindfulness when it comes to lines and that Americans do, and that they just go and yell in the Asian folks' faces if they dare cut in front of them in line.

Just seems like a weirdly hypocritical thing and also that they might be jumping on the "US is uncultured" bandwagon that you see on Reddit and other social media these days
