Annoying Travelers

Location: Limousine Bus, on way from Narita Airport into Tokyo.
Situation: Guy talking on cellphone in the bus, although no cell phones are allowed (clearly noted on the walls and announced with a multilingual recording.)

This was a bilingual Chinese guy who was apparently bringing a few friends or clients from the airport. They were laughing it up in (no offense) typical mainland Chinese levels of loudness in the bus, while everyone else is trying to sleep. This guy obviously knows the local culture (even if he doesn't "abide" by it), with respect to the general consideration given in public places to surrounding people, as far as noise goes. However, he talks on the cellphone while in the bus! One phone call's OK, if you keep it down... but multiple? I don't think so.

He did start to get up and go to the back of the bus for his last few calls and attempt to be quiet, but it's still audible, and quite annoying. Respect the rules! Embarassing to be Chinese...
