A post titled 'Japan is still too scary! I've already returned home, but...' on China's SNS, Xiaohongshu (RED), has garnered a strong reaction.

The male poster wrote, 'My wallet is completely empty, and I still have credit card bills remaining. I walked over 20,000 steps every day and am completely exhausted. Moreover, just thinking about going back to work tomorrow makes me anxious...'

He then recalled, 'Every time, I tell myself, 'Japan is duty-free, but not free (mu-ryo),' but even so, I still couldn't resist (shopping). Recently, the exchange rate has also been good, so I really couldn't stop myself. Originally, I had planned to visit other tourist spots as well, but in the end, it turned into days of non-stop shopping and eating.' He uploaded 10 photos of Osaka's cityscape, gourmet foods like kushikatsu, and purchased anime goods.

In response to this post, Chinese internet users commented, '(Uploading photos of many purchased Chiikawa and Hello Kitty goods) Truly dangerous (crying emoji),' '(Uploading photos of purchased brand-name goods) So dangerous. My wallet is empty,' 'Too scary. I can't control my wallet every day. (Uploading photos of many products) Just what I bought in Tokyo is this much!' and 'Japan is extremely dangerous. It will severely damage your wallet!'

Additionally, there were comments like, 'I just got back from Japan, but I really can't stop buying. I want everything!' 'Hahahahaha, my wallet is definitely in danger. And even after returning home, I still think about all the other things I should have bought!' 'When I go, I take 2 suitcases, but when I come back, I have 3!' and 'That's true. I end up buying extra suitcases there.'

Furthermore, comments like, 'Japan's physical economy is thriving, you see,' 'In (China's) domestic market, almost everything is online shopping now. It's really fun to browse physical stores, and if you get tired, you can just find any store and go in, and you'll almost never pick a bad one,' and 'Everyone's the same. We walk until our legs break, eat until our stomachs burst, and shop until we're penniless' were also received.

In addition, multiple users were seen asking whether Japan is actually safe in terms of public order, with comments such as, 'Is Japan actually safe? I want to go in August,' 'Is it safe to go to Japan on a solo trip now??' and 'Is (Japan) safe? I'm going on the 20th of this month, but my parents keep threatening me with all sorts of (dangers), so I'm a little scared (crying emoji).' (Translated and edited by Kitada)
