I love your content!!

It’s like living in HI. Don’t get me wrong I love HI and had no issues living there for 26 years and will probably retire there. Many people who move to HI normally don’t make it past 3 years especially if you don’t have family or friends. People think of HI or Japan as a fun destination and do not look at the daily grind. The bottom line as some have mentioned is that if you’re normally a happy person, no matter where you live you will be ok. Life happens no matter where you live.

でてけよ😂

Collaboration with Paolo from Tokyo episode now!! The CZcams gods need to bless this channel. The algorithm seems to like comparison videos to the US but idk doesn’t seem like a fun video to make.

Japan is waaaay too uptight for me...

I guess it totally depends on ones personality and expectations. While Japan is not perfect, as there is no such thing, but its powerful passport speaks for itself. It means japanese citizens have a very low flight risk of being illegal aliens to other countries, and the reason for that is because they feel well provided by the government. On the other hand, i think this is where it gets disappointing to foreigners. They think they can achieve or acquire the status of being citizens, and if they dont, they start to say bad things about Japan.

I'm already depressed here, so it can't be much worse lol

I’m a Japanese who have lived foreign country and long stay some of countries. Japan is great for several things compared to other countries, but have to know a lot we have other side as well, but especially come from outside… Move country then wanna be happier life finally “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Hard to most of peoples even to me.

By my own opinion if I were to live in America I'd already be working for absurd hours at incredibly low wages and generally I'd rather do that in a place where the people actually have moral values democracy is actually democracy and you have things to look forward too other than in America where my life consists of spending bills and going home to do nothing cause I can't buy anything especially since inflation.

❤ Wow! Love see so many different anime stuffs . Love it ! That was so cool 3-D pictures cards and Gundam models kits. And anime figures that so cool. Saw one spider man with robot. Surely look so rare is it ? Thank for show tour. Awesome!

Interesting, personally I'm a big eye contact person, and also talk to total strangers often, 😂 I don't think the Japanese would like me much😂😢

So ma'am, I do apologize, I guess flatulence is a HUGE no-no😂 (I beg your pardon I'm sorry.)

I don’t know America sucks 😅 Biden is burning us in a hey basket 🧺

Regarding airsoft ("BB") guns in America, there's definitely enthusiasts who like to collect them and play matches with each other. I think the emphasis is less on realism because, after all, you can buy the real version. But it's not uncommon for gun owners to also be into airsoft, either as a way to use gun tactics without hurting anyone, or as a way to practice for the real thing.

In France now we havent arcade room 😢 80' 90' was better!

I worked in Japan for 23 years. No complaints at all.

You make foreigners uncomfortable when your men keep groping and sexually harassing women on trains and in public.

my grandmother is the only person I've ever heard use the word "skosh", but she pronounced it very differently.

It's not just about Japan. It will be the same when you go to another country. I speak from my own and my friends experience. greetings from a Lithuanian living in Norway

If Japanese have meerkat as a pet, the Japanese are more messed up than I thought

Here's a message you can share to warn others about this scam: 🚨 Beware of iPhone Selling Scams in Japan! 🚨 Scammers are targeting individuals with offers to sell iPhones on installment plans. Please be cautious: - They may request payment via gift cards. - They might ask for additional gift cards to 'activate' AppleCare. - They often claim the phone is stuck in customs and demand more money for clearance. Unfortunately, victims never receive the iPhone and lose their money. These scammers often use fake Japanese passports and virtual Sayuru cards to appear legitimate. Even Apple support is unable to assist once you've fallen for this scam. Please alert your friends and family about this scheme to prevent further losses. Always ensure that any online transaction is carried out through legitimate and verifiable channels. 👉 Stay Safe and Report Any Suspicious Activities! 🛡️

Many foreigners say that working hours in Japan are very long, but that is not true. According to OECD Data Hours worked - Employment, the average annual working hours of Japanese workers in 2022 is 1607 hours. For example, Canada is 1686 hours, Australia is 1707 hours, and the United States is 1811 hours. If you don't believe me, check out OECD Data Hours worked - Employment.

How did the Japanese get so soft?

Fromage means cheese in french. Framboise is strawberry. In holland we call it frambozen.

Yeah most of those my generation was taught as well more the new generation has lost common respect for others

Thank you for sharing your story.

lets be real, most people who think like this way are weebs who think they get get a kawaii uwu japanese waifu and live like the animes they watch, if your rich and don't have to work then yeah i guess japan is a great place (but you can say that about almost anywhere really), but if you're broke then get ready for working conditions similar to slavery inside a tiny apartment that cost a lot of money.

I struggle with eye contact and I'm from the US. It's made people think I'm rude or even gotten me in trouble at times here, but it feels more natural not to and I can listen better not starting and wondering if ism making the right amount of eye contact.

I have several Japanese friends and lived with them about many years. I totally understand what you mean. Fun facts my Japanese friends also hate Honne culture of Japanese and that is why they leave Japan.

Wait, Mr Eats is a Canto speaker? lol

Working for Japanese companies for 6 years all I can say is that I hate their working culture, if you are a creative person or working job that demands creativity, try to stay away from Japanese companies. I do not work for Japanese company because I loved their culture or anything, I just needed a place to work and just happened to find out how crappy their working culture is.

Seen too many loud and stupid tourist idiots in Tokyo, Kyoto and other places. Having said that, I made few of these mistakes myself, but not overtly and repeatedly.

I wish I had seen this before I tried teaching English in S. Korea. I didn!t even have a love of their top of the iceberg stuff, but the ball kicking (real ball; not kicking one between the legs) version of volleyball and their martial arts was cool (loved “Best of the Best”). I did find close friends who were Canadian and an emotionally-troubled Korean national. I could appreciate their easier to write and read language. It was depressing to see them have to go to school all day long and the cram school on regular days off. I did not appreciate how tired they were, I regret, but hoped they had questions of me, but did not (I think you need an at least a Masters in something to teach at a college, where I was told they were more interested). I sucked at teaching without training. You best try an esl class beforehand, if possible. I did take hikes to parts of the city I was in and volunteered with a volunteer group, though not supposed to. That and finding a church of my faith and the western stuff area were positive. Still, I got lonely and imposter syndrome. I didn’t hate S. Korea, its people or ways, but maybe some things about myself. Get to know yourself. Maybe hang out with a population you are not so comfortable with that is maybe not dangerous, like try helping people with dementia and the mentally-challenged after learning about them, first. I should have tried again in S. Korea or my favorite above the iceberg country:Japan. Italy or Greece would be cool, too, but, at the time, Korea seemed more desperate and offered boarding with the deal. I later learned even those who go through teacher degree programs have difficulty getting through to kids and those kids don’t have cram schools!

I spent a year in Japan and a lot of time studying the culture. Enjoy and appreciate the culture, I wouldn't live there unless I knew the language and had a reason to.

Good thing idgaf about random people’s feelings so these scams don’t affect me

Definitely not panic farts

4:37 The fact they literally are talking about when you grow old w someone vs when you meet someone new thats person you grew old with was new at first too (phase) thing you know what as human beings the way some people think that’s why “below the iceberg” is them judging your ass on your handwriting

She is so beautiful

Japan's arcades are great! When I first went to Japan in 2013 I played this 1987-1988 helicopter game that was really cool for back then. just not a fan of the pinchinko places that stink like ciggerets.

Do you know where this location is?

I love the scent thing. I dislike the overwhelming smell of perfume and cologne. I just use deodorant and soap lol.

If you are older, adjustment will never happen. Works if you're younger.

I think this should be titled "Why it sucks being poor in a big City." You would probably feel the same way if you moved to NYC minus the cultural issues but having to deal with much higher crime rates, filth and homelessness. I lived in Tokyo on an expat salary without coworkers and I was paid in $$ so I had the time and money to actually enjoy my time there. How good was my salary? I only took taxis and Uber in Japan and I only took the subway during off peak times so mostly always had seat. The Tokyo subway is actually quite nice. No crazies like in NYC and way cleaner.

A country won't fix your life. Being successful will make things easier, but everything is about controlling your mind and finding a purpose

Ok. I like jp and I lived there. But jp is just a country with flaws like any other country. Anime and jp are absolutely different things - it's just a product of culture which doesn't depict reality. People and things are different, they are not like in anime - unless it's a drama. So, my jp acquaintance work almost without weekends and some days sleep only 3 hours a day... I was in shock. After spending time in jp and speaking with Japanese people, I'm convinced that jpns companies are the worst. But I like food and nature there

Fascinating! ^_^
