Not enough people care about our country’s appearance or other people in general.
A sad truth.
Funny, anyone in Europe knows that Japan is one of the cleanest countries in the world, even for East Asian standards
In terms of cleanliness, probably every country on Earth pales in comparison to Japan. They've set the gold standard.
I heard they drink a lot in Japan and they have meth
He’s absolutely right.
he doesn't wanna talk about how Japan has all that though. He's a massive hypocrite
@@Giriko3490
How
There's only one reason why Japan is cleaner than most countries. They have their students to clean up their schools since they're at a very young age.
This not only teaches their kids to clean, it also creates a good habit of keeping clean and not litter, because the cleaner their school is, the less mess they have to clean.
And this habit stays with them all their lives, making Japan very neat and tidy and clean.
It's THAT simple. You want your country to be clean, starts making your kids clean.
Well even my italian friends was crying after they visited japan and returned in italy, they said "compared to japan, italian trains looks a garbage can"
When I went to Japan my Japanese friend gave me a weird look when I was talking to him inside the train and he explained to me that you have to put your mind as if you are in a library. You have to be respectful for the other passengers on the train so absolutely no talking on your phone as well. Some small talks are okay but keep it to a minimum and not so loud is what he told me.
Well at least Italy got a quite big and cheap railway system…America is very much behind many, if not all, first world nations.
To be fair, i agree.
American here, been living in Japan for 18+ months now and he's absolutely right. Outside of some aspects, Japan is soooo much better than the US for the most part (public transportation, walkable cities and communities, safer ane cleaner, cheap delicious food, etc.)
Gonna do my best to stay here for as long as possible.
Been to Japan several times since I was a kid and I totally agree. Inflation is getting out of hand here in the U.S. Everything is getting expensive, crime is getting worse and the cops may show up or not. I'm saving money for the future since I'm thinking about moving to Japan because things here is not going to get better any time soon.
Japanophile
He’s right about some places. Many stores have some customers making merchandise left as a mess, some restrooms are disgusting, it’s absolutely ridiculous how some citizens treat some places.
As an American living in Japan, I agree that Japan is cleaner than the US, but I unfortunately I agree a bit with the conservatives, while it isn’t about race per se, its about the culture. Japan is for the most part, a monocultural society, same as Taiwan that was mentioned. Singapore is a multicultural one, and that’s why their super strict rules have helped them become a super clean and effective society.
In my opinion, given human nature, everyone needs to collectively buy into one main culture either organically, or be legally forced into it.
Like the quote you mentioned, there really isn’t any solution, everything is a trade off.
What are you willing to put up
with for what you want?
I don’t think America’s culture of hyper individualism will ever yield results like Asia or Scandinavia
I wouldn't mind if they forced neighborhoods to be all mixed race in the US like they did in Singapore. People might stop yelling at each other for looking a bit different.
@@sunwooyang9949 Denmark is actually trying something like that out.
@@avecnayo
Are you fluent in the language and have been to each prefecture ?
To be honest, he is right, like come on, you leave the US and go to a country like Japan or Denmark, and with the right common sense, you can see american "culture" is just....like bad
And what do all of those countries have in common…
they don't have to deal with black culture.
@@Stephensouraski lol you’ve never been to either of these countries have you?
@@Stephensouraskiwow, bringing the racism on the second comment.
You clearly only see things from the surface. Underneath Japan, they have the highest depression rate, the work culture there is brutal so mucn so that they glorify high school years as your last moments of happiness. Japan is also struggling from high rates of population decline where there will soon be way more old people than young. You look at Denmark, you get 0 economic mobility and basically born into your social class. Denmark leads the world in theft per 100,000 people based on a 2016 statistic. The household debt in Denmark is 165% of gross disposable income. No country is perfect, but seeing you glorify these countries is hilarious. Oh and god forbid you are a different ethnicity in these countries. There are actually laws banning you from doing certain things such as Japan now allowing foreigners to enter certain establishments or even renting certain properties.
Not only in America, Europe is like that too
Been to Japan recently, and I feel like if everyone simply RESPECT each other more, things can be so much better. That will never happen though...
No, it's not that. It looks like that because that's the "tatemae". The front, that people have to put up in order to conform to society norms and expectations. That's the culture in Japan, the government doesn't tell you to do it, but the social pressure is immense, and as such you only have nominal freedom, but you can't actually do those thing you are "technically" allowed to do and still be a respected member of society.
Yes the result is nice, but it's also the antithesis of what American people are like.
@@GIN.356.A
You visited
Japan is special. Also compared to Europe its super clean and organized. Every country has a good and bad side
I mean, he ain't wrong. Its really clean there. LOL
I am Guatemalan, spent 22 years in the US (my whole adult life), and I am now in Paris, France. I have always known that Japan was cleaner and safer even before spending twenty years in the US (17 years in the Bay Area). RIP Akira Toriyama. I have always loved some aspects of Japanese culture (mainly anime).
Japans bathroom is indeed the cleanest in the world, insane. People don’t throw tissues on the floor.
Japan, South Korea and China all have cleaner streets and better roads.
lol, not China
lol, you’re basing that on reputation. Major Chinese cities are clean.
@@OhGeeGanksta but we’re talking about the entirety of a country. China is too big for a place for every city to be as clean as Japanese cities.
China is like a cleaner America. I’ll give you that. But not on the same level as Japan
@@avecnayo Yeah... no. I doubt you've been there or witnessed any of the rapid improvements the country has undergone and that's why you're already backpedalling from your original position. Most criticisms that were valid 5 years ago are now invalid and they're still going full speed ahead with their improvements, granted that population size does allow them to do so.
@@zuriyel5368 okay, I guess I’ll have to take your word for it.
But why is it that whenever someone praises Japan, people have to always bring up Korea and China as well?
While the US has been living in their bubble for far too long, other countries have caught and surpassed the US.
The US is not rich, it has always been in debt and the US covers its debt problems by raising the debt ceiling.
Individualism vs collectivism
Also shows how close minded most Americans are, truly exceptional
Confucianism vs traditional religion (I'm not going to say the exact religions because CZcams always deletes my comment).
The West has no clue about Confucianism. Most don't even know it exists.
It's not really about Individualism vs collectivism. It's really about social responsibility. You can be an individual and still be socially responsible and do your part. It's not about this OR that. It's about this AND that.
Social responsibility values are by definition collectivistic.
@@HarmonyHorizon-im3pqThere are plenty of racially similar countries that are garbage. Don't use that lame argument.
It's because in America we fetishize rule breaking and violence. It's not that all rules should be followed, but people can't seem to judge to break which ones, and why some should be followed. Like if there's a sign that says, no Chinese allowed, you'd break that rule, but if a rule is, just place the tray back to where you got it, why not?
Americans should travel to Asia for a quick reality check. Japan may be the best in Asia, but seriously each country have something to offer.
They wouldn't care and would say it's boring.
@@Podus81 they need to know the US is lagging behind in many aspects --just to make them grounded, not everything revolves around them
@@shopkins12
You visited ?
@@missplainjane3905 Visited where?
@@shopkins12
Asia, so have you ?
how is your channel not bigger? Ya'll have taught me more about your people than my own canto bestie ever did in 15 years! Then again, culture is changing constantly so makes sense. She needs to update her own info too
Its crazy how little viewership they get considering how many old subscribers they have. Really nuanced takes on social/culture related stuff. There’s no other channel that dives into the Asian American culture like they do.
I do feel like for the amount of subscribers they have, they should be getting more. They are bringing in the same numbers as people with only 100k subs
There's a trade off
Because they don't make any bubble tea music videos or the super trendy "10 things Asian girls like" videos anymore.
@@JakeAkstinsI think it’s because their initial subs took off originally due to their food content and not as many of them are interested in the political stuff
Sadly, the West is declining rapidly in every area: crime, drugs, pop culture, public safety.
It's the same here in Canada but we're doing better than alot of the US.
Asia should never emulate the West's permissive laws.
As a non american that has been to both places he is absolutely right
Are you from europe
Its about culture.
Asians view crime as dishonorable and shameful for the entire family.
Westerners view crime as edgy and a little cool (badboy).
Thats why petty crime is rampant in the west. This also includes littering and general vandalism.
The US and India would be a better comparison lol. All the top tier Asian nations like Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and China already surpassed the US by too far.
Indians aren't oriental
They're Australoids
Indians aren't Asian
US and India are dirty as hell. GROSSED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@LisaCutie409Australoids are Southeast Asians and Pacific Islanders
Indians are Indo-Aryans, aren't they?
I disagree, Taiwan is not a country.
Jimmy Kimmel's reaction to Japan as an American reminds me of how Indians react to visiting any developed country for the first time. Or even seeing parts of Southeast Asia that aren't Singapore (which is a huge outlier in its region in a whole host of ways), such as Malaysia, Indonesia, or even Vietnam, for that matter.
Indians think those places are cleaner? Including the US?
Indians are Australoids
Indians aren't Asian
Wait until he visits China
@@patriceesela5000 He won't. No American celebrity can ever admit on airthat China is better than the US in terms of infrastructure or even cleaniless in their major cities. China must always be this filthy polluted, oppressive hellhole with run by slaves with ala North Korea.
You guys are so absolutely right. Thank you. Very intelligent assessment.
Cultures are very different.
It's so hard for people to stay balanced😊
Let's learn from each other.
Has he not noticed how dirty nyc has been? I havent traveled to Japan & I've seen for years how dirty this country has become
And yet, there's a big difference in the air quality in NYC now as opposed to NYC in the eighties. You can see the NYC skyline from a distance and as you approach now. In the eighties, you couldn't see it (not even from a plane) because it was covered by the smog.
SF, LA, SE, PT, BN too.😢
@@mariatolentino4516NYC in the '80s was the worst. The first time I stepped out of a cab in front of the Blue Note, I thought OMG! 😮
@@dtna I love the Blue Note. Watched Hiromi, Roy Haynes with Pat Metheny, Ron Carter, John McLaughlin.
YEAH!!!! I saw that and I agree with Jimmy. Props to him he took his wife and kids with him.
It was a family trip for the Kimmels to Japan. Something I'd like to do. How about they head back
again for a week of shows from Japan this summer? With the G Man and Cleto's band.
Disney can pay for it! And Jimmy has had Asian guests on his show. Anna Sawai and Ashley Park.
5:25 This makes sense. Singapore is more diverse. I think Matt Walsh also mentioned that in his segment about Singapore from this year or so, but I don't remember whether or not he made the specific connection that Singapore needs to be more hardline than Japan specifically BECAUSE it's more diverse, but a lot of people of his general leaning have made that observation. Lauren Chen also talks about living in Singapore and HK for a while growing up in her recent inverview with Very Bad Canadian Man who started Vice Media, but that's a little too spicy when I've been getting c-worded up the wazoo the past few days here.
A Toyota is cleaner than a Chevrolet.
It’s one thing to hear about it but another to actually see it
Waiting for one of these talk shows to explain Japan's Kanamara Matsuri fertility festival live on air.
Or how about Jeju Loveland Park in South Korea.
I have a Filipino friend with no kids, and yet she has helped paid for the college education for a few of her nieces and nephews. That's the beauty of collective society. In a individualistic society, not so much
she is a hero
does she want kids though?
@@Buydaa.M
She is almost 60 now. I have wealthy relatives and they never volunteered to pay for a book
How is this even news WE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS 💀
Jimmy should go to India next and he'll say the US is aite😂😂😂😂
These are facts
As a Japanese person with an American husband, I have to say that I can't just declare Japan to be a better country. I agree that it's cleaner, safer, and more peaceful than the US in general, but we have our own issues and challenges, and there are many wonderful aspects to the US too (in some ways, I actually envy Americans).
One thing is certain: 'everything is a result of cause and effect.' Climate, geography, history, culture, customs, education, food, political systems, people's temperaments-everything intertwines complexly to produce the current situation. Unlike selecting only favorite foods at a buffet restaurant, we cannot simply desire and request only the enviable and desirable aspects of other countries.
Obesity in America is to high among its people… nothing to envy.
About how clean it is, yes. He wasnt talking about the rest
I'm from the US and living in Japan. I agree with Jimmy Kimmel on the cleanliness.
Every country has its own good and bad points. Japan is cleaner than the US. Japan is safer and very convenient to live. Then, there are good things in the US that Japan is lacking. For example, many things in the US have already gone digital while Japan is still using fax machines and cash. People in the US have a good balance of work and social life while Japan has many people work overtime.
Yes. There are many supermarkets (with lots of discount at night), discount stores, and home improvements stores. The trains are punctual. You can stay home and go to the station right before the train comes. If you are late to work because of train delay, the boss will let you off the hook, as long as you get the slip from the train station as proof. Also, it's easy to get around by bicycle. It's good for exercising.
@@dorac0825
So what's wrong with cash and fax ?
There's nothing wrong with using cash tho
Carrying cash around in America is dangerous and there is counterfeit currency out there, so they are just going digital.
Diversity has a cost. No one group feel it's their responsibility. There's no collectivism in a diverse society. People just mind their business and don't care much else
America takes crime a lot more serious than Japan. Compare the harshness of sentencing between the two countries or their incarceration rates (531/100,000 vs 33/100,000). There's a reason criminologists around the world, including Japan, look to the US for expertise. Japanese law enforcements tend to regard their American counterparts as more competent and serious.
yet americans do crimes more than japanese on average, your citizen arent afraid of the law
You have it backwards. Japan takes crime a lot more seriously that's why there's less of it. Also Conf--ism (I can't say the actual word because apparently it's prohibited here).
@@xuimod Then why does America have 15x the incarceration rate and 25x the pre-trial detention rate? Since when was light sentencing associated with being serious on crime? And why does Japanese law enforcement often regard the American one as more competent and capable?
@@Illuminatorofshadow Japanese people commit less crime. Americans commit more crime, so there's more people to arrest and jail, so American police get to deal with
@Illuminatorofshadow Simply because there aren't that many people who committed crimes to incarcerate or detain in the 1st place. And once a crime actually happens and a criminal is caught, hardly ever gets off free on trial and faces way harsher sentencing than America, without all that woke shit about fair trial and sentencing, and practically no parole.
Where I live in America, if you're too clean, you're shamed and labeled OCD
I don't even need to watch the video to know it will be funny and true from the title. Even when Japanese where are the world cup they clean after themselves. They are different. I know it's a social stuff.. and they are teached from a young age to act that way. But come on. Let's stop the belittling the Japanese are awesome. It's not all Asia that is like that. If you go in the country side in India or China you will see nasty stuff. But Japan is Next Level on that topic. It's just boils down to education. It's a mindset. Those people really want to be excellent. Japan is different even from an Asian perspective.
Are you asian
Are you asian
It's not that we are filthy and dirty here in the US. It's just the Japanese are too clean lol. Anyone would look bad when compared next to that high standards
Thats also true. But with how much America prides or prided itself as a “top” country in the world, its awful how behind we are in some ways. Embarrassing.
Kimmel didn't pass by the bathrooms at the bus stop at Shinkiba Station. You don't even have to go in. You just have to walk by (which you do to enter the Station,) and you'll smell the pee.
Bro. The NYC Mayor had to come out and warn people about a rat infestation. SF had to create 6-figure salary jobs for people to clean up poop in the city. There was even an app to display a poop map for SF for people to avoid.
LA brought back bubonic plague.
@@zuriyel5368 get off the Fox News
100000 percent
Interesting, I guess him having Atarashii Gakko on his show made him realize he should finally take a trip.
He wanted some of that...
Japan is honestly END GAME of places in the world to live
If you discount the constant earthquakes and dumping of nuclear waste into the oceans.
It's going to be China in about 10-20 years tops. Tier 1-3 cities in China are already as clean as Japan and around 40% of the cars on the streets are all EVs. In another 10 years, it probably be near 100% EVs and hyrbrids.
@@TheJadedSkeptic it doesn't matter how clean Chinese cities are their bathrooms will always be filthy and gross. Something about Chinese bathrooms man they are absolutely disgusting.
@@TheJadedSkeptic Earthquakes happen in China as well, usually western side, and although the frequency is less than that of Japan’s, by the same token they are also less prepared for it, and you can see that reflected in the massive 6digit death tolls, reaching up to horrifying numbers like 300,000. Nuclear waste is also dumped by China, with even higher number of tritium than Japan, it’s just that the internal affairs are so opaque, ppl just don’t really hear about it. And no, even top tier 1-3 cities are not at the cleanliness level of Japan, even with EV, which I find a tad green washed tbh, air pollution in tier 1-3 cities are so bad you need to wear a 2.5pm mask, and the countryside is dotted with water and soil contamination. This alone stops China from being “end game” not that I think Japan is either, but taking into account other important factors such as human rights, consumer safety, transparency of information, work/life balance, political stability and international relations Japan is the safer alternative of the two for the near future. Don’t get me wrong, I think China is amazing and has immense potential, it already has arguably the best ai sector, fastest and most interconnected delivery network, a big pool of skilled/talented workforce, but it is a country that is still growing, and I think it’ll take more than 20yrs for it to blossom, which is still really fast considering it’s massive size! But anyways, anywhere is “end game” if you are rich 😆
Tbh, I'd probably have the cleanest bathroom if I grew up with my parents teaching me there was a toilet god.
It is tricky dealing with drugs in America because of the border with Mexico.
Entire audience is clapping like they're not guilty
USA has a lot of pros for it, along with a lot of cons. Same with any country. Realists know when the country they live in has things it could improve.
No drugs or guns unless you're a member of the Yakuza ;-)
All the asian americans should go and check out asia. I loved living there and im not even asian.
The person who mentioned the "trade offs" is absolutely correct. As a person on my 5th year living in Japan I'd say; those of you who are so set on Japan being this perfect country and the U.S is nothing but flaws, go and try to reside (not visit) here for a year or two. Because the reality is that most people who move to Japan end up leaving because they can not adapt.
And this is leaving before they even consider making a family because now you have to worry about your children being okay since they stand out (especially if you aren't asian).
I am a Japanese who goes to foreign countries as a tourist and never thinks about emigrating.
Foreigners only think of moving to countries with good infrastructure (safety, convenience, cleanliness, high income).
Why don't they think about working together to make their own country better? The Japanese also have many complaints, but they put up with it because it is much more profitable to cooperate.
Why is this even a question?
This comparison is a telling microcosm of how messed up our country is on many levels…
It's possible to be an individual while still not trashing your table's area at restaurants or doing disgusting things in public restrooms.
most bathrooms here look like a bomb full of shit went off in the corner.
It's true North American public washrooms are nightmare fuel
But what about the US vs India?
india wins...as the most disgusting place on earth
Indians aren't oriental
Both dirty and smelly.
India is still part of Asia.
He's correct, but he will never admit why America lags behind so much.
I know it’s only a matter of time before schools begin making students clean their own classrooms. Once that’s implemented, Americans will become more responsible and considerate of others to partially adopt Japanese mentality.
Yo
Well, every other country is gross compared to Japan. The Jimmy Kimmel Show location is right by the heart of homeless LA.
He is not wrong!
AUDITION (1999)
4:11 it’s actually related because after WW2 the US occupied both countries (half of Germany) and helped rebuild them in an idealistic way. So it makes sense that the Americans would idealize them today.
Well, not all Asian countries. I remember when I visited Taiwan, little kids ran around with pants that have a slit up the crotch, and the parents let them poop and pee at will. When I went to a marble floored shopping area, I was walking along and saw a stream of clear fluid running down the flooring...when I followed it back to its source, it was a kid squatting down near where the wall and floor joined.... talk about curbing one's kids! And that was in Taipei, the largest metropolitan city!
They are touristers from mainland china. Very high possiblilty
@@tesla3388 Doubtful. More likely they learned from American culture as Taiwan does maintain close ties to America, which is also prolly why they have their women twerk at Spring Festival performances.
@@tesla3388 When there's problems just blame Chinese..can't see how this can go wrong, especially for another mandarin Asian presenting people.
Tesla is not typical taiwanese who ashamed of their Chinese ancestry but love yankee and japo farts ..typical big loser
@@tesla3388 I can't agree with you more
It seems like there are 2 chineses here
Remember Paris Hilton turned away from Japan after pleading guilty to drug charge 😅
Truth hurts
When Americans leave America it's like they have an existential crisis... " Bro maybe America isn't the only country in the world "...
all this is by design
Piston to connecting rod to crankshaft. Rotors are a part of the brakes. Just saying
Schools. It's very simple to fix. Teach kids to practice cleanliness and responsibility. That will change our culture.
Japan’s “problems” don’t effect the average individual person. The average person doesn’t care about the conviction rate, the low birth rates, the fat shaming, the intense focus on education, the stigma about tattoos, etc. People making that argument are just grasping at straws. Lol
??
Just came back from Japan. And being from SF, he’s absolutely right. BUT, Japan feels pretty lonely with the little stranger interactions that Americans like to do and the work life balance seemed non existent over there
People always say this about Japan but I speak Japanese and people are so open and friendly.
@@sunwooyang9949 People are definitely friendly and i loved my experience. Im just aware that i like being a tourist rather than trying to live there and starting a life.
@@missplainjane3905 if we're talking about quantum physics, I might not know the vocabulary, but I am fluent in a daily life, culture, history sense.
@@andrewnguyen7364 Opposite for me. I want to buy a house there and make it my base.
Totally different culture. America is all about individualism and being able to do what you want without much regard for others. Japan is collectivist and emphasizes cleanliness and orderliness. The Japanese revolve their lives around catering to the public good. If a train runs late, they'll issue passengers a note for school/work. In America, everyone is expected to fend for themselves.
If a train runs late they send the engineer to ‘re-education’. My son’s friend had that happen to her father.
Hi
America needs a big fix period.
I lived in Japan 5 years and there are places that are dirty. However, as a whole it is a way more functional society than the US.
Which area and have you been to every prefecture ?
USA has always been behind. There's been times USA has been good (which is also why people flee to here) but now it's definitely not the place to be. People are in denial if they say USA is still the best..be open minded and look around. Stare at your surroundings, listen, and watch the news. Outside of USA is much better. This is coming from someone born in USA.
Heck, even the American government spends the taxpayers' money on just about every single other country than America.
❤❤
It’s because Japan is an island country and they would suffer if they didn’t keep it clean. Makes a lot of environmental sense.
Not sure if crimes are heavily punished by the legal system in Taiwan. Well, I guess you certainly will get punished if you use illegal drug and steal things...
He's was right.
He should visit China too then.
You visited all
Wait till sees modern China.
How about rural areas
I've been to Japan over a dozen times and the restrooms in bars and nightclubs are disgusting. Plus, the Yakuza is still there. And Japan and major corporations just look the other way. Nowhere is perfect.
lol you’re either lying about the yakuza or are just ignorant. The Yakuza literally no power outside of their little construction companies and offering protection for the sex industry
You're trying hard to reach for something. 99% of the time in any part of Japan, it is clean. The ones who are dirty are the foreigners
Which area
Yes, CA and NY look like 3rd world countries vs other parts of the US. And especially if you compare to Japan or Singapore. Norway. When I look at vloggers that visit those places I can't help but notice how much cleaner those places seem. I live near Sacramento, CA. You go there and it's basically 50% slum of homelessness and graffiti. When I commuted to work in a neighboring county I had to drive past Sacramento. And it never fails I see graffiti or homeless camps. Even after it gets cleaned up and it comes right back. Like cockroaches.
The audience just laughs at it, just so insane bru..
When you have 3rd world country neighbors southern next to USA, and 13% of the unusual suspects causing crime then yes. USA will become 3rd world.
Japan is extremely homogenous and takes pride and precision in their jobs regardless of what custodian job they do + considerate of others.
Can’t blame all this on immigrants. Face the facts
@@d.nakamura9579yes you can you delusional leftist. Also you’re in every comment.
Well, Kimmel ain't wrong. Many of our major cities are pretty filthy. 😂 Of course, not all areas of those cities are dirty but some areas are disgusting.
I agree though I believe all other countries besides North Korea is better than the US
wrong. africa, india & pakistan are some of the worst places to be
@@artcorbeauLatin Americas too
Keep voting liberal, it will get better for us
Everywhere you go? He obviously hasn't passed by those bathrooms at the bus stop in Shinkiba Station. Maybe not as bad as Penn Station or Greyhound bathrooms, but you can just pass by and smell the pee. You don't even have to go in. He didn't go all over Tokyo, that's for sure, or he's in denial. He went to just Tokyo and Kyoto, yet never saw the dirty body of water in Minami Fukuoka (I stayed at an AirBnb there).
Btw, Japanese families may have two parents, but domestic abuse is also a problem. Why do you think some wives wait until their husbands retire so that they can get half of the pension and be free of the husband (and don't forget her hesokuri)? Not to mention the marriage and birth rate is dropping and Japan is now resorting to importing workers due to the aging population.
The work atmosphere here is better. I have superiors who respect me and my abilities. I won't get that in Japan or any Asian country. I don't have to go to mandatory drinking parties and pour drinks for the male workers (have you been to an izakaya filled with noisy salarymen? I have, and my personal shopper and I were the only women there. That was in Fukuoka). I wouldn't have the good work life balance I have here if I happened to live and work in Japan.
There are many things Japan is better at, but there are also many aspects of life in the USA that are better than in Japan or other Asian countries. Why then do people from those countries come here to the USA?
Japanese people ain't coming here though, but Americans are going there.
@@ponuniof course, they're already old. Even my language exchange partner came here on a five year fellowship for his third Ph.D. in Computer Science (he already had two Ph.D.'s, in logic and philosophy) at CUNY. He taught for a time at Brooklyn College. Then COVID struck, he went back to Japan. He's now an associate prof at the Japan Coast Guard Academy.
I remember him telling me that his dream was to live in upstate NY and then commute to NYC for his work. What he liked about the USA was a lack of agism at work here. (He had been laid off back in Japan).
And I will add, the Philippines is a closer destination as there are Japanese who go to live there. Lower cost of living, more laid back, very cheerful people, closer travel to and from Japan.
@@mariatolentino4516 That is true. Japanese people love going to the Philippines. The Japanese people have been going to the Philippines for the last 500-600 years as depicted in the Boxer Codex. A lot of Filipinos in the Philippines today have Japanese ancestry, and they are called "Japinoy" . Even I have a little bit of Japanese ancestry as seen in my DNA youtube video, it is a very small amount of my DNA. Also, b/c of Japanese immigrants to the Philippines in the early 1900's, we Filipinos have Halo Halo (which was derived from Kakigori) and we also have Odong noodles thanks to Japanese immigrants.
okay
I understand you hate Japan
@@AIIIAKS-vn4co I understand that that is all you can do - accuse with no proof. Tell me then why I hate Japan if that is what you understand. Or are you one who just easily takes offense when one tells it like it is? Or perhaps you're just a Weaboo?
Japanese whaling practices are condemned for its cruelty and barbarism, yet Japan is not the only country that practices whaling. The production of foie gras in French cuisine also involves cruelty against animals, yet it is served as premium food and does not receive as much media attention. Many Americans (including Eric Trump) visit Africa to hunt wild animals for fun, yet they are praised for their courage.
In 1993 House of Representatives passed a resolution 347-0 condemning Norway and there were talks of sanctions... interesting how this petered out.
Japan also has Wagyu beef, and the west has veal.
This is nothing controversial. It's just fact.
Even though Japan did commit heinous crimes during the Second World War, I do not endorse Douglas MacArthur’s claim that, in terms of maturity, the Japanese were a nation of 12 year olds compared to the Germans, who were a nation of 45 year olds
What does that mean
I understand that you like WW2, but it's unreasonable to relate this topic to World War II.
USA have high population of BLACKS and HISPANICS.
Japan don't have high population of BLACKS AND HISANICS.
You see the connection??????
Confu--ism versus traditional religions. I can't really say the word because it always gets deleted.
Much the West has no clue about Confu--ism..
