    I love how everything in Japan is made for enjoyment/aesthetic as well as for function. You're on this big industrial ice-breaker ship for a tour, it could be very sterile, but they're playing music from Howl's Moving Castle and there's always things to see and hear to keep you entertained. Great video!

      It makes it feel really magical imo, the voice over the loud speaker and the music make it seem like it’s some kind of gentle theme park ride into another world :DD

      @@BrumBrum2222 I heard also Chinese on the loudspeaker on this ship, so there must be a lot of Chinese tourists, too. Though I would agree with you that tourists should be able of some basic communication, like ordering a meal or something, it's impossible to follow an one hour tour with explanations unless you've an average command the language.
      When it comes to reading Japanese, there are up to 50.000 Kanji, a very educated person can read about 4000, for reading a newspaper you need to know about 2000, also depends if the Kanji are sinojapanese or purely japanese symbols and there are various ways to read them. You can read the Latin alphabet in every country that uses it even though you wouldn't know the language... English is a language that many people outside GB, Canada and the US can speak somehow. Of course the attitudes of especially Americans are quite spoilt, ignorant and impolite yet I (being from Europe) wouldn' t want to spend the next years learning Japanese for a three week holiday, so I could read the signs and understand what they are telling people about the sights. If I planned to stay there for a longer period it would be self evident for me to get a better knowledge of the native language.
