Basically yes.
We don't do that in the US anywhere near as much.
Maybe a park will have a table and bench, maybe some certain restaurants in certain parts of certain cities will have them.
But its much, much less common, as our society is designed to be unwalkable, designed for cars and parking lots and air conditioning.

Ok I'll stop now.
Ahem, not bilingual, but I definitely have a small chunk of Japanese drilled into my head after a decade + of Karate, haha.
Yep, am autistic, can confirm.
As with Union of Kobolds, I eventually got into the 'gifted' program... they even had me as a 2nd and 3rd grader basically being an unpaid tutor for 4th and 5th graders, sitting in the hallway, helping kids with reading difficulties (in all liklihood, undiagnosed dyslexia) read through kids books.
But, there's always classes and teachers not part of the gifted program, and they're often difficult and wrong and rude for no reason.
I still remember a chemistry teacher getting very angry with me for even bringing up quantum scale electron clouds as a model of atoms.
Not allowed to go beyond the Rutherford-Bohr model, even in discussion, always dismissive and rude, incapable of saying just 'yes that is a more accurate model, but it is far too complex to go over without understanding Rutherford-Bohr first'.
Its true that around the origin of SUVs, yes, this was the point, and many could... not offroad as well as a specifically off road geared vehicle, but could offroad a lot better than a sedan.
But, now its been 20ish years, and broadly, manufacturing standards / quality control are shit ass fuck tier bad, everything is desiged to break just after your warranty expires, and are also intentionally engineered to be nightmares to try to self repair, or just literally impossible to do this due to 'everything's computer!' (unless you also want to hack your car)...
... so those offroad capabilities are functionally no longer present, beyond I guess all wheel drive as a mode.
Really, these days, an SUV is just a minivan that seats less people, doesn't have a sliding door, costs a fuckton more, has better ground clearance, and 'looks cooler'.
Pretty similar MPG.
Last time I read a breakdown report on it, yeah, it was something in the range of...
A typical street vendor banh mi has more actual like weight of food in a sandwich than a McD borgor, and the McD borgor is also between 2x to 4x as expensive, depending on exactly where you are in Vietnam.
Also, lol, the vastly most profitable part of a McD meal is the soda, and then fries.
Like a drink that costs you $3.00 at McDonalds costs them fractions of a penny.
And... HFCS soda just has not worked too well in any Asian markets, basically.
Thats how you end up with like, Diet Cucumber Coca Cola in Japan, lol, a lot of Asia already also has a lot of great drinks, such as boba tea... and just actual tea, etc.
Ubuntu.
Oo boon too?
Oo bun too?
Pretty sure the correct pronunciation is the first, but a lot of people say it as the second.
... lets just name the next big FOSS thing 'Uranus' and watch everyone disagree about how to pronounce that, very loudly.
I'll say it that way sometimes, haha!
I also have a tendency to shorten 'good night' and 'good morning' and even 'good to see you!' into just basically g' with a glottal stop, haha.
What you're saying is true, that not knowing how to pronounce aloud a word you've only ever read is not some kind of 100% surefire sign you're a bigot or anything like that.
It just means, as you say, that you've never heard it said aloud.
But... that also means you never bothered to look up how it is pronounced (its on wikipedia, the actual Godot devs have videos of them saying it, etc)... and it does also mean you presumably are also unfamiliar with Waiting for Godot.
So I would say you are also 'uncultured' in that way, but of course, simply being uncultured doesn't make one a bigot.
You could just not have the time, money, etc, to have seen the play before.
That by no means say anything else really concrete about you, or any other person, if that's like... the only single datapoint you know about them.
In all seriousness, I do strongly recommend seeing the actual play, probably you could find a dramatic reading / radio drama version of it somewhere on the net, or even a full video captured performance of it on a forgotten youtube channel or the Internet Archive.
I... don't know that its ever been adapted as a proper movie, perhaps a film snob can appear and call me uncultured, haja!
I mean, give it 5 years and I wouldn't be surprised if thats about where we are at with sensationalist titles from people who post 10 videos between 10 and 20 minutes long on youtube or wherever, every damn day.
Sam Altman BATTERED and BREADED by NYT Journo who ABSOLUTELY COOKS him and then EATS HIM FOR LUNCH!!!
So... I actually tinker around in Godot.
Whilst looking around to see if anyone had, or was developing an extension I would find useful...
I discovered 'Redot'.
Basically, there is a small but very vocal group of people who are very, very angry that a Godot community manager made some pro LGBT, inclusive twitter posts, turned that into a culture war flare up on twitter...
And then forked Godot.
To make the anti-woke version of Godot.
Their youtube channel has, as best I can tell, absolutely no descriptions of any substantial differences from... you know, an actual game engine feature set perspective.
Beyond of course being behind Godot now, lol.
What they do have is a bunch of rants about politics and edrama for their 'non-political' game engine.
Also... they pronounce Redot as Re-Dot, hard t.
Godot is Godot as in Waiting for Godot.
Go - Dough. God - Oh.
The t is silent.
... of course these idiots are literally uncultured and have never read the screenplay or seen the stage play, so they have no idea how to pronounce the word.
Could have gone with Re - Do, or Re - Dough, those would have been closer, the first at least an obvious allusion to them being a Godot fork.
But no. Re Dot.

All the way up and down the West Coast, multiple times, over the course of more than 2 decades of being driving age... from Bellingham WA down to LA / San Diego... many, many places in between... also many places all the way out to South Dakota via I 90.
If I gave you a full list, I'd have to rewrite Johnny Cash's "I've been everywhere"... I've actually been to a good number of places in the original lyrics.
