    Living in Tokyo has teached me a lot in many ways. Train geeks are a daily basis, and you can see them everyday taking pictures of the train you just leave at the station.
    But you know the difference here than other countries? Nobody is going to point at them at laught. Nobody is going to see them as some weirdos. Everybody respects them as they may respect your own hobbies. That's why Japan allows for lots of different of passions, cultures and hobbies surroundings weird and nitche stuff. That's why I love this country so much.

    Can't believe James May missed the correct meaning of 'otaku'. It literally means a homebody as in one who spends the majority of their time at home which then was stretched out to mean nerdy homebody who geeks out at home.

    • @RhysClark97

      like all words in most languages, their meanings can change at any time.
