- Todays video was a bit of everything. We talk about why are there no trash cans in Japan, but we also talk about drinking in Japan, meeting new people. This was an unstructured, fun episode and we hope you like it
== About Austin and Arthur in Japan==
We’re just two guys who have lived in Japan for a while and want to share our experiences.
Every week we get together, open a bottle of sake, and share our experiences living here uncensored.
If you want to get the real deal about being a foreigner in Japan, you’re going to love this.
About Arthur:
Born in Germany, Grew up in Boston, Schooled in Seattle. Started learning Japanese at 13 and just went with it. Loves Ukiyo-e and traditional Japanese culture.
About Austin:
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest United States. Former Marine, lover of onsen, gyoza, and adventuring into the wilderness. Has lived In Japan since 2017.
Japan's contradictory culture is pretty funny. You ever read The Chrysanthemum and the Sword? Goes in depth into Japanese culture in a nice way that doesn't trash the culture or anything, but brings light into a lot of the seemingly backwards aspects of this country.
Don't take that book seriously. It's written by someone that has never even visited Japan and it's said Benedict herself told her students not to read it much in her later years.
Also was great seeing you AJ! EFF those QR code menus~!!!
I remember garbage cans have been removed since the 9.11 incident, but it seems to me that the reason is used as a convenient excuse for the easy management for public servants and such. By the way, just for your information, do you know there is a courtesy way when you pour sake to the cup, especially juniors do it for senirors? In this case, put the label side up when you do it. Sounds silly, right?
It's not since 9.11 (2001) but is from that sarin attack (1995) by Aum.
