Little Beatrice looked so happy at the table with all those snacks.
I hope there were some left for Mr Eats 😂😂😂
I used your code. 😀
i like your shirt.
Walmart is our worst store. They have everything, and prevent having to make trips to different kinds of stores, but, that’s the only allure! The employees aren’t paid enough to care a whole lot. And, if you were in the south? No one hurries. Everyone just takes their time
And train stations often have bathrooms and water fountains that homeless people come to use. If they get refused? They still have to go to the bathroom and don’t get much choice in where. Restrooms are often for customers only so if you can’t afford to buy anything, your bodily functions are left to… well, disfunction
“Just like a prisoner 🥰” 😂😂😂😂
Yes, Starbucks prisoner!
@@MrsEats Dairy Queen prisoners in SM shopping malls
I mean its not just starbucks amazom. Etc
I guess I've got to think of a fake name for myself, too, because one thing I've learned is that no American can pronounce "Yngvar."
@@Yngvarfo I’m guessing eeng-vahr 🧐
Your face on the train screaming, "STRONG AMERICAAA," made me laugh so much. It really caught me off guard XD
Haha me too!!! Too funny and cute ♡
That was around the time I hit the subscribe button … The whole train segment with the hot coffee made me chuckle out-loud. Mrs. Eats is fun and funny 😛😝😜
Hahaha
Strong america got me 😂
Why we need hearing aids later in life! Everything too loud! 😖
"So you may wonder how japanese Starbucks barista call our name? They don't call you a name but in some places they call you by a number, *just like a prisoner!* "
Hi Kittycat! Yes! In Japan, we don't call name, only number! But in hospital or pharmacy, they call you by name!
@@MrsEats I didn't know that! Thanks for the info and knowledge :)
That had me rolling on the floor laughing lol
With numbers, you solve the problem of people with the same name, i.e., you don't have to give your surname, violating even more your privacy. It's perfect.
I'm more shocked that they call your name... south African baristas could never
we're prisoners here🤣🤣.. yaayy
That cashier was not giving good customer service even by my American standards but it definitely is not uncommon to receive poor customer service here 😅😅😅
You're absolutely right lol
Walmart is pretty much slave-labor.... so workers do not go out of their way to help the customers at all. At my local Walmart stores, the workers actually seem to hate the customers. Which doesn't surprise me at all. America is dysfunctional now.
Seriously I avoid Walmart like the plague.. now since 2020 onwards i litterally do
Every Walmart experience ever
Worked at Walmart Canada for a while. Our pay was good since our minimum wage here is so high, but because of that, we were always extremely under-staffed. Your service would not be great, because the workers had so much to do already and were probably exhausted.
Me going into a Japanese train: "Why is everyone sleeping?" I really felt out of place the first time xD
Lol am old lady fell asleep on my shoulder. It was so cute, but I felt horrible about having to get up. 😆 I tried to do it slowly so it wasn't so sudden but the woman dipped and suddenly woke up. 😆
The ride is so smooth it lull's them to sleep.
They also try not to talk inside public transportation, and that's why sleeping works.
Because they work 12 hours a day. So they are tired. So they sleep on the commuter trains. Which is why foreigners need to SHUT UP when they ride Japanese trains.
I always think sleeping while you commute is the largest benefit of public transit. My friends ask why I don't drive to work. I ask why they don't sleep to work?
Lol at the “strong america” and “the 1 hour soothing sounds of Amtrak train to help you sleep” Omg, that was too funny.
I’ve never been on Amtrak but I’ve used the trains in New York City. It can smell like urine, especially during the summer months. I have quite a few stories, especially with my first visit. Lol.
As far as the poop bags. I’ve seen them outside of dog parks. For example, in my neighbourhood, they have them scattered throughout. I believe it’s to encourage people to pickup after their dogs. My previous residence, there was a problem with people not picking up after the dogs. ☹️ So I’m sure you can imagine the unexpected presents people found on their shoes. But it did get better, once the bags were present and trash cans were available.
Thanks for the fun/funny video. I haven’t been feeling 100% but this definitely made me feel better!!! I love hearing about the difference perspectives we have when we visit each others country. It gives different perspectives while we learn and a giggle or two!
Have a great day!
Petri!! Thank you for sharing the story of dog poop bag! I really think it's a great idea to put poop bag in parks or street! But in Japan, you can hardly find trash cans :( We need more!
I hope you feel 100 percent soon (I'm not 100 % either but trying to stay positive!)! We will be healthy agin soon!!
Yes, I totally agree with you about loving / discovering differences! As my CZcams channel banner says, "Enjoy the differences!"
Please stay safe and happy!!
@@MrsEats, thank you and same to you!!!
I almost popped a lung laughing at the strong america part 😂🙏✋
I've been on a few AmTrac's myself, usually ok... but 1ce or 2ce the entire train car smelled like urine or barf. It was horrible. I just packed my stuff up and moved cars though, but... ugh.
Yeah I quit trying to figure out what some people's definition of racist are but I like how you use the word problematic :)
Kujo Jotaro is definitely a GOOD fake name to give to Starbuck barista 👀
Yes I think so! I want to hear them try to pronounce this name! Maybe there is a barista who is otaku and will know this name too!
Lol
@@MrsEats If not, you'd get "Kyle". Often, Starbucks get the name wrong. Not always, but enough that it's a joke.

STRONG AMERICAN TRAIN IS STRONG
**train approaches**
+100 STRENGTH
Miss.Eats at the train station: oh? You're approaching me?
America is known for it's FREIGHT TRAINS. If people need to go somewhere in America... you take a car or an airplane.
In Germany, they scan your items and shove them to the side, then you pay for them and the cashier starts to scan the next customer. You now have about a minute to shove your stuff into a bag while also trying not to accidentally take the items of the next customer, since the cashier will just throw them on top of your stuff. If it takes too long, the cashier will sigh in order to make you go faster.
Yeah I wish there was a middle ground between the two. I remember that the cashier used to help bag at the same time so you would both finish fast and it would not be awkward. Now they are forced to be min max capitalist androids whilst paying customer immediately becomes an inconvenience over customer who has not paid, such irony!
Very interesting!! So you have to be very quick to put everything!!
Yep. Us Aussies were shocked with that when ALDIs came here, we weren't use to it at first. 😂
peak german efficiency
I know right. cashiers in the Netherlands can also be crazy fast. Honestly I do like a little speed, but not everyone can pack as fast as these cashiers can scan.
The pets inside planes may either be service or emotional support animals. Emotional support animals are on a case by case basis from airlines, but service animals are regulated by federal law much like infrastructure for people with disabilities like mobility impairments or blindness.
Oh that's very interesting! I think even in Japan, service animal may not be put in the plane with the person. But maybe the staff will take care of this person. Also, they can take train which is easier for them to!
You can take small dogs on the plan that are not service animals as long as they are in a carrier. My sister-in-law does it with her dogs occasionally. I think you may have to make special arrangements when booking though and also probably pay extra.
Yeah, they had to get stricter about that cause some people were just using the idea to avoid pet transport fees or cause they felt like it. So now everything's got to be certified and all.
@@MrsEats most disabled people want to be independent like everyone else, they don't want to be "taken care of".
emotional support were not allowed tho from what I know.I think now none of em are allowed , because soichi people were faking service
"Beatrice Eats, Ohayo Gozaimasu..."
...and, Mrs. Eats discovers Cheez Whiz! YAY!
おはようございます!!
This video is hilarious and wholesome. I’m living in kanagawa and I can’t wait to see more of Japan to compare to America.
Thank you so much! I hope you are enjoying living there too!
I love how you try not to offend any Americans maybe watching this. I LOVEEE the vid and how energetic you was! 🤣🤣
Thank you! We all love the differences
I'm American and I fully recognize we can be absolute savages lol but that's what makes these videos so fun ♡
She's certainly nicer about America than us Americans are 😅
@@blu3kawaii That's pretty typical of any culture or even person. You are almost always the most critical person about yourself/culture/etc.
Which is sad, because then you tend to only see the things to complain about rather than the blessings that are there as well.
lol I was on the Amtrak and was chatting with an employee and he casually said "oh yeah we can't go faster than like 40 mph when it's hot outside or something will catch on fire"
OMG you're so funny! The coffee skit of people watching you in suspense! IS SO FUNNY! I love your videos! hahahaha! I got tears in my eyes from laughing.
Thank you! Yes, coffee was so hot!! This is my adventure in America!!
Totally agree, me too
The dog airplane thing really depends on the airline. Some airlines will require you to put the dog underneath in a cage in the cargo hold, and others are more lenient, and let you carry them on board in the cabin.
Double edged problem that too many planes' holds aren't safe, it's lawsuit time when an animal dies in the hold.
WalMart is a pretty awful company who pay their workers as little as legally possible and don't treat them very well - a "graceful pace" is probably about the best you can hope for
Not necessarily true. While I'm sure they don't get paid great, I know my local WalMart pays $4 above minimum wage.
@@DrNordo pays which of their staff that much though? And how many of them?
Walmart is only able to opperate the way they do because their staff apply for government money to pay their bills.
@@sisuguillam5109 it was for Associates (grunts). At least that's what the sign out front of the store said.
Lets be honest. The reason walmart is cool is because you can go there at 3am, in a group, with everyone wearing pajamas, and still be better dressed than the rest of the customers.
@@sisuguillam5109 Most wal-marts pay their staff more than the legal minimum because the US Senate is on their ass these days.
I would watch anime voiced by her, anyone else??
Maybe I should do anime about Kancho Hancho!
@@MrsEats OHHHHHH NOOOOO
@@MrsEats The Kancho Chronicles
She does have a good voice for it, I hear it's really competitive in Japan(well everywhere I guess), but maybe an audio book on anything Japanese! Her English is perfect so I think it would be a good match!
Yes
You're shocked at how slow the Wal-Mart cashier was. I'm shocked you had a cashier at all.
Remember K-Mart? Near their end, there were two to four people working checkout lines. A total of up to four more worked everywhere else, and often switched positions. It was awful. IMO, K-Mart > Wal-Mart.
You would be shocked by hungarian trains even more. :D
The trains are old, not so confortable, slow, realy slow, late, late more, late even more.
Some say our trains are slow to keep up the illusion of a "big country". (That's a historical joke.) :D
We had Uber taxi until our taxi lobby earned to uber be banned.
Wow! Sounds like riding train is not something convenient! In Japan if train is late even by 1 minute, conductor will apologize to all passengers!
@@MrsEats trains in Canada are late by 30 minutes and still rarely hear any apologies
@StarshipEnterprise that’s so true😂 I’m from Germany and the trains every time come too late. My Grandpa is from Hungary, so I’m often there and I can confirm: Hungarian trains are very slowly, but german ones always try to do their best to be delay. 😅
And sorry for my bad English. I hope you can still understand me😄
@@noraaaaa1111 Sounds like a problem a lot of old train countries have. Apparently Shinkansen began in the 1960s, so they got all that nice new 60s tech from scratch, rather than uh... trying to, uh... retrofit new trains to an old system.
This is the most under rated CZcams channel ever and it deserves more attention!! I love your natural humor and I love whomever does the editing on your videos!!
Thank you soooo much!! We will share more fun contents with you! Stay tuned!
I feel like I need a whole video on Mrs Eats roasting AmTrak now. I laughed so hard.
You can find more here!
czcams.com/video/ISm1WwEaIto/video.html
@@MrsEats OMG I clicked on the link and laughed so hard 😂
@@SusannaEOB1 Congratulations! Now you can sleep so deep!!
Amtrak is like jinrikisha in Manila traffic charging Concorde prices.
I wish we upgraded all our trains and railroads to be like in Japan. Then I may actually use them for distance traveling instead of my car. Of course then the cost would be 10x what it is now for a ticket.
Looking forward to the Q/A for patreon subscribers!
(if your not a patreon subscriber, it's worth it, my Japanese questions will finally be answered)
Tracks here in the state of Victoria of Australia are ridiculasly smooth. The amount of times I forgot that we were actually moving is off the charts. 😂
"Sometimes they don't call a name, they call you by a number....LIKE A PRISONER!" LOL Ms Eats, you always know how to entertain XD
Who just come here randomly and be her fan
WoW! Thank you!!
Me
I was having a horrible day, dealing with illness in my family and other things, then youtube suggested one of Mrs. Eats videos. Half an hour later, my mood is much better. She's so positive, funny and seems like she'd be fun to meet. I needed that. I appreciate that.
You lied to me, Mrs Eats! I typed '1 hour of soothing Amtrak sounds to help you sleep' and that video wasn't there. I feel so used, and now I may never be truly soothed to sleep...
Sorry! It's here! czcams.com/video/ISm1WwEaIto/video.html
@@MrsEats Ah, magnificent. Gonna play this super loud at night to help all my neighbors get the finest sleep possible.
LOL
Try watching Bob Ross paint. It works like a charm.
When I go to Starbucks, I cycle through iconic names.
Depending on my mood, I use names like: James T. Kirk, Flash Gordon, Luke Skywalker, Ming the Merciless, Darth Vader, Harry Potter, etc, etc, etc, etc.
this editing is AMAZING 😂 I was laughing throughout the video. Mrs Eats is a fantastic story teller 💜
BananaPhone!!!! So nice to hear from you!! We are so happy that you laugh so hard!!
Amtrak is awful in a lot of ways. It's almost always very late and that's because most of the tracks are owned by private companies. Those companies will always prioritize trains moving products over Amtrak, so Amtrak is constantly delayed.
Oh yes! That's a great point! I watch a video of a man who take Amtrak from New Orleans to Texas. In on his trip, he said his train had to stop because cargo train was passing by. If that happened in Japan, people would freak out! But one time, I was on the train, and it had to stop because train hit a deer!
That explains why it took me 6 hours to arrive in Orlando from Miami years ago. I could have driven there in half the time. Haven't taken a train since then. This country desperately needs high speed rail
@@ScuubaSteefe
But going just 100mph should get you there faster than driving?
@@MrsEats By law, freight trains in America are supposed to give right of way to Amtrak passenger trains, but this isn't the first time I've heard complaints of freight trains refusing to comply.
I'd rather take the train then fly within the US, personally. There's more room inside the train and the passengers are treated a little better, I think.
@@ScuubaSteefe Or more double track
If your Uber driver is tired, talking to them is actually a very good idea. Conversation helps a fatigued driver stay alert and not feel sleepy. As a former professional driver, I've experienced this first-hand.
Regarding slow cashiers, I used to work at Target, and I don't know whether Target still does this, but cashiers at Target were graded on their speed on each transaction. Thankfully, the were really good at training their cashiers to scan and bag stuff efficiently. When I go to Safeway now, I prefer to use a self-checkout lane if I don't have much stuff to buy, but I'll usually at least help out by bagging my own groceries when I go through the regular checkout lanes if there isn't already a dedicated bagger.
Regarding pee on the train platforms, honestly, the escalators at the BART station I used to use regularly in San Francisco were regularly "out of order" because of people peeing/pooping on them. Really disgusting, though you'll encounter pee and poop on the sidewalks in San Francisco regularly, anyway. I really don't like going into the city because of it.
Regarding dogs on planes, I don't believe you're usually allowed to take dogs on planes, unless they're service animals. Unfortunately, many people lie about this to get their dogs on planes, and I'm unsure as to whether you need to provide any sort of proof to do so. I actually found your video footage of the woman on the plane kind of funny, as she almost looks nervous about being discovered or questioned, but maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Lol just commented on San Francisco /BART’s unique pee and poop problem. Homeless people just don’t care and people aren’t paid enough to care (plus just the culture in general is so different).
Worst is during hot summers for sure.
@@GneissShorts A lot of people experiencing homelessness don't have very many choices when it comes to where they can do their business. Many (most?) passenger train stations in the US keep their bathrooms inside the gates so that you have to pay to get inside in order to use them. So it's not that they don't care, it's just that they don't have a lot of options. If the alternative is to drop trou in the street where everyone can see, it makes sense to pick some corner of a semi-public space that has at least a modicum of privacy.
@@SpaghettyLuvsU in relative privacy yes…but on the stairs leading up to the train, or ON the train?! It’s the homeless druggies (which I should have specified) that do that stuff. Homeless people that actually want to better their situation don’t do that stuff; they at least make an attempt to do it out of the way and in relative privacy.
And the drug problem is what makes public bathrooms the double-edged sword in the US; just had a convo with a friend who talked with one of the waitresses at the Denny’s that used to be next to the local drug den (which burned and is now being put back together into a more decent hotel) that every 30 minutes she had to go check the bathrooms to make sure no one OD on heroin in the bathrooms.
🤣 the fake name at Starbucks lol...you made me laugh so much...when I was working there I would have people give me fake names too... I'll never forget: *Poptart* ...
Imagine a barista calling out for a poptart😂
"Here's your coffee, Beatrice."
Mrs. Eats: *_I will do my best, sensei!_*
I love how you took a Russian train to show how an American train looks like😂😂🤣
Mrs Eats must be in a constant state of shock when she visits 🤣🤣🤣
Nathaniel! Hehehe, I'm just so curious to see things are done differently! Those differences are so fascinating!
Hmm yes WalMart, going there at midnight is....well, definitely an adventure more than shopping. Lots of mysterious events happen, truly is fascinating. 👽👽👽
Pee smell, especially in the harsh summer heat, is one of the principal reason why I stopped taking the Montreal subway to go to work. That boomer who took it out and pissed in a corner definitely didn't help either...
Yes! I don't understand why many places in New York smell like pee! Maybe it's hard to find public toilet? In Japan it's very easy to find public toilet, even in big cities. Most of the time they are pretty clean, too! Is it the same in Canada?
@@MrsEats yes unfortunately. Outside of shopping centers and restaurants, punlic restrooms are hard to come by. Sadly I think it's motivated by the cost of employing people to clean them. Even some restaurants and bars won't allow non-clients to use their restrooms.
Ooo, that sounds as bad as Netherlands. When shops and restaurants were closed i didn't go to a larger city for months. Most cities got 3 options, restaurants, certain shop chains like Hema and trainstations.
@@rapthor666 obviously I can't talk for the entirety of Canada of course, but I know in Montreal it's like that. Then again, after hearing horror stories from friends working in restaurants you can sympathize with the staff. My best friend was night manager in a poorer neighborhood's Tim Horton for a couple of years and it sounded like clients almost aimed outside the toilet...
I don't know why some people are so terrible in public restrooms over here... I try to do my business in private bathrooms unless I'm really desperate because of it...
@@NachtKaiser666 even at work people seem to sit backwards or upside down hahahaha. Maybe i got too high standards, but dang, clean up and be social/thoughtful of others
I’ve been watching a lot of vids on the topic of cultural differences between Japan and America and your vids are by far my favorite. Your energy is appealing and you have a fantastic sense of humor. I would watch your vids on subjects besides cultural differences.
Wow! Thank you so much! We are going to make evermore fun and educational contents for you guys! Stay tuned!
In America you either get a shop keeper who has far more energy than they've any right to have and are thus going fast as hell, or you get someone who's soul has effectively left their body and they're now a shell of a human.
Lol I love your description🤣🤣But I hope it’s not true!!!
Uber actually started as a pseudo taxi service here, the "eats" part was added later.
The extra channel is real🤣
hahaha! Yes, it exists!!
I hope you both had a chance to visit other Walmart stores and saw that not everyone is that slow.
Ok, so now I share with you, 8 amazing things at a Japanese market in the US!
1. You can get ice in a bag for free! Great for putting on top of you pr meat purchases, especially when you have to drive far from the market.
2. Bonito flakes! The Liquid Smoke (American brand name) of Japan. Ok, it’s not liquid, but it has a smoky flavor,...but there’s a hint of fish too. The first time you try it it’s weird, later you become addicted. You were warned!
3. Too much high fructose corn syrup in drinks. For some reason I thought Japan would be more health conscious, with its focus on offering quality products. I have to read labels on drinks and check sugar content. But there are still many great drink to buy!
4. Roasted tea drinks. I didn’t want to like them, but I like them more now. Am I turning Japanese?! 😊
5. Miso paste is great for making a fast soup base that is so delicious!
6. Cashiers are not slow!
7. Travel cups and bento lunch boxes! They are great for keeping you drinks and food hot/warm. Those magic cups are wonderful and I love the sections in my bento lunch box that separates the soup, main hot dish, and cold dish.
8. Rice, lots of rice! Ok we Americans might think that there is just to much rice, to many brands and what’s the big deal, but trust me that there is a reason for it. Too much to list here, but a big thank you to my Japanese language teacher. She taught me how to cook it, the best brand (so delicious), and what “”New Crop” means. I am now graduating to the huge sack! I don’t eat rice that much, but the small sack is always empty.
😁
Wow thank you for sharing your exciting things in Asian grocery store! Actually, I'm surprised at #1! In Japan, grocery store has free ice for customer to use to keep meat cold. You get a bag and get ice by yourself! But there is a sign that says "Do not put this ice in drinks"! Of course, Japanese don't do it, but it's scary to think what is in the water!
Also you like rice very much!! Yes, rice is very delicious, especially new harvested rice! In Japan, you can find bag of rice that says 新米. It taste very good!! I recommend you try Japanese new harvest rice!
Friend and I were brand new in Japan, decided to go to a restaurant. Went in. A couple of tough-looking guys (cooks) with big knives yelled at us. We hastily left. We later learned that they were saying "Irasshaimase" (Welcome) but we did not, at that time, associate yelling with welcoming.
hahaha, the shinkansen--amtruck-part is soo hilarious :D
11:00 Yes, I too have been in situations in an Uber vehicle where the driver is driving recklessly and unsafely - once when we were driving to an airport, and the other when we were driving to my university. I’m really sorry you had to be in that Uber car, it must have been very scary! Whenever I do get in an Uber (which I haven’t in a very long time due to the pandemic), I always hope that I get a nice, safe driver. Thank you for your incredible humor Mrs. Eats! ☺️❤️🇯🇵🇺🇸
Olivia! Thank you for your kind message! It was very scary...! And hope you enjoy my am track train sleeping sound!
Mrs. Eats, you were SO stinkin' cute when describing the trains! Especially about getting a massage. I am afraid of trains and was feeling nervous about going to Japan and needing to take one, but this video is making me think that going to Japan will help me be less afraid of them. Fingers crossed!
Japanese trying are pretty smooth! Especially bullet train so you might feel safer
I am from Northern Europe and have lived in Japan about 10 years.
Watching your video is giving me a huge culture shock about America.😂. No, I cannot handle it.
Mrs Eats, you're too cute! Thank you for sharing your experiences in America. It's always nice to hear what others have to say about some of the weird things about America. (Spray cheese is definitely a weird thing)
Also. I want a soy sauce spray bottle! Every time I pour soy sauce too much comes out. Pouring is fine for cooking, but to flavor my meal a nice quick spray would be ideal.
Thank you so much! Yes, I'm truly interested in different cultures because it's so fascinating to learn what people do differently! If we are open for each other's differences, we can have a great time together!
Soy sauce spray is very handy on the table for sure!
You are brilliant at making negative experience sound not too negative
5:01 😂🤣 so funny. Have you and Mr Eats ever been to the UK? If so, would love a shocking things in the UK video ☺️
Hey, John! We've never been to the UK but really love to go!! Also in Japan, we have a lot of events that introduce England culture! People love about your culture too!
@@MrsEats 😊
Loved this! Thank you for making it!
Delightful and very interesting, as always!
You say it’s weird to be asked for your name at Starbucks, but other people I see who moved japan are shocked by how often a company will ask for allll your details for some one time use thing (like plastic wrapper at airport, they want your name, phone, address)
I never seen dogs on a plane before! Though the last time I was on a plane was in 1999 xD
This channel is amazing, love it 🥰
Quality editing. Loving everything about it.
I was laughing so hard during the whole train story that i was in pain 😂😂😂😂 I love your videos so much
Thank you!! I love the train part too! It’s so real😂
I’m really interested in the bokksu box, wish I could buy it 🙁
Thanks for the laughs!!
I ADORE THE WAY SHE EDITS HER VIDEOS 😩💖
I absolutely adore your charisma and all the stories you tell! You’ve just got a sense of humor that makes every video so fun to watch.
Also, I desperately need that soy sauce spray, I always seem to pour too much on my food and I think it’d just be neat to have 😂
I'm truly enjoying these videos. I love hearing your perspective on things you've experienced in America! It's nice to take the time to get out of my own head and see things from a different lens :) Thank you!
Thank you so much! Yes, let's enjoy the differences!
You are an excellent story teller - and it’s even more impressive you can tell stories so vividly in a non-native language.
100% impossible to watch your channel without a smile on my face. Your energy is infectious. Stay amazing!
I seriously love your sense of humor and fun personality Mrs. Eats! 💗 Your videos always brighten my day and give me a good chuckle! ☺💗
Ohhh! Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear our video put smile on your face! Let's have fun!!
I love your videos! Always quality and entertaining. Though your experiences in America are much different than mine, it goes to show how diverse the country is. Where I live in the midwest is always pretty chill, but then I don't pay attention to news either. Most dogs you see in public are probably service dogs. I would like to give a public announcement that if you see a service dog with their owner, DON'T interact with them. The dog is there for their owner's safety. For example maybe someone is prone to seizures so they have a trained service dog, if you interacted with them and distracted them the dog could miss a sign for a seizure. However, if you see a service dog alone and it approaches you it's probably looking for help for their owner and they want you to follow them.
I'm so glad I found your channel. Your editing is so funny, haha.
Me and my wife really love your videos, the way you edit it and the way you give your explainations. We like you humour sense, always make us smile. Thank you!
Your mindset when visiting the United States will make all the difference in terms of evaluating what you experience. For example, when going to Walmart, consider it like a Safari Park where you get close and personal to all sorts of strange and unusual animals in their natural habits. Passenger trains ought to be seen as relics from a by-gone age; distances are so great in America that trains stopped being viable means of transportation eighty years ago. Between the national highway system and cheap air travel, trains are like the human appendix; organs that serve no useful function any more. And as for American fascination for dogs; all I can say is that at least we are not as bad as the British... ;-)
Oh thank you! That is good way to think about it! Yes, I felt like trains in America were very old style. Japanese train is very advanced, so I felt like a little bit go back in time! But I enjoyed it very much! Also is Britain super dog friendly country? I love it!
@@MrsEats There have been efforts to introduce 新幹線 style trains in the USA, but cost, logistics, and culture make it, in my opinion, unfeasible on a large scale. Then again, I've heard that there is a line being built between Dallas and Houston. Will be interesting to see how it works out.
Trains actually still serve a purpose. They're mostly for cargo instead of passengers now. It's much quicker to get massive amounts of items from one point to another across land that way (say if you were to receive shipping crates from a cargo ship and they were to be transported elsewhere instead of unloaded immediately. They use the railway system).
For trains that still carry passengers, I like to see it as mobile tourism across states. There's a whole thing for train tours with some lines where you get off at scheduled stops along the route, take pictures, get food etc. meet back up at a specified time and continue on. Like a land cruise.
@@kyokoyumi can confirm,where I live and all the trains are used for cargo.
@@kyokoyumi I grew up near a cargo train depot (I think? It had a turntable, etc.) in Georgia, USA. As a side effect, distant train noises can actually put me to sleep lol
We would very occasionally see an extremely short (2-3 cars) Amtrak train roll through, but the rest were all cargo transport. It's an older area that hasn't been updated much, so the tracks mostly run parallel to the main thoroughfare and there are very few under- or overpasses. This meant that if there was a long train going by and you needed to cross the tracks, you had no choice but to wait, sometimes 10 minutes or more.
Every once in a while, some idiot would try to beat the train across the tracks and get their shit ruined. The most spectacular one was a truck carrying big panes of plate glass. They cleaned up what they could, but there was a section of track that would sparkle in the sun for years afterward.
I think train experiences might vary by state too.
That part about the "graceful pace" had me in stitches! Your videos are so funny, Mrs Eats!
I watched one of your videos and know I'm binge watching your videos
Great video. I think both of you should come to the UK you'll be in for a culture shock. But it would be interesting to see and hear your views.
Hi Painter! Long time no see! Thank you for your comments! Maybe one day! I think Mr. Eats and I will have big culture shock there! But I think it will be fun to show difference between Japan and UK!
I love these videos ^^
The train sounds so nice and clean in Japan.. I want to go~~ ワウ!
Japanese Shinkansen is pretty cool! Hope you can try someday
I found your channel last week. I have been binge watching since. Your videos are informative and entertaining. Thank you so much.
The editing on the videos is great! Really funny videos!
The train platforms smell like pee because people pee on them. Amtrack is terrible. I have an uncle who absolutely will not fly on a plane so when my parents went with him and his wife on a vacation from Texas to California they took Amtrack and said it was really slow (like they were always late), extremely expensive, the food ran out, and the toilets were overflowing.
Greyhound busses are even worse though, last time I rode one some woman tried to start a fight with the driver and got arrested. Also she was with her kid who must have been 3 or 4 years old, great example to set haha. And then at a stop before that half the bus started shouting down the guy manning the station because Greyhound screwed up scheduling the next leg of the trip and they were acting like it was his fault.
In the US you either want to fly or rent a car for travel. Train and bus both suck here.
At Walmart I always use the self-checkout machines because the regular lines are so under staffed. They have like 18 registers at my local Walmart but only 2 of them will have a cashier working. But the self-checkouts move quickly. I'm rarely in line more than a couple of minutes even when the place is really busy.
So I'm not trying to defend Walmart in any way but generally new employees are slower than the more experienced with exceptions. I've seen fast cashiers and fast baggers. Plus we Americans can be well lazy and not as work focused as other countries are.
In my experience lazy people are usually kids that still live with their parents so they really have no incentives to keep a job.
Just do self checkout, now if it's slow there, that's on you.
Love watching you, you are so funny& interesting things to know.
I've been a cashier in New Jersey my entire adult life. I assure you we are not all slow. As a matter of fact, I feel like my customers move in slow motion. I never rush them, of course, but I start to get antsy watching 2 or 3 more people line up behind while they're unloading their carts.
I never realized how much state pride I have until I see New Jersey in the comment section😂
The Bokksu sponsor is just so on brand lol
Amtrak in the U.S. is kind of thought of as a last resort method for travel, behind flying or driving. I do wish we had a better passenger rail system, but it just hasn't made much sense financially for us to invest in one. And yes, the dog love is real! On hot summer days in Chicago, some local businesses even leave bowls of fresh water outside for passing dogs to drink from!
So kind of people in America!! They are real dogs lover!!
Amtrack is luxury compared to the greyhound bus. The platform may smell like urine on Amtrack, but the seats smell like urine on greyhound.
You AMTRAK description is soo funny. Thank you Mrs Eats.
You really have a very funny, amusing way to tell your stories.
Bruh one time I got so high that I cried for four hours that my country didn’t have high speed rail.😭🤡🇺🇸
EDIT: As someone who traveled on Amtrak, I recommend to get bottled drinks for everything. If you go to sleeper class (private room) you can get mini champagne with plastic cups.
Wow, so fancy!!!
The beauty in America is the organized chaos lmao. In some weird way I love how unusual our behavior and mannerisms are even if at times it can be scary. It's like getting a rambunctious puppy. It's a different type of stress
I'm from the UK, went to New York a few years back, absolutely crazy place. The city literally never slows down or sleeps. 2PM, 2AM - same amount of traffic and people around..!
Just discovered your channel, you’re hilarious!! Love you! Keep up the good work
I don't remember how I came across your channel, but I love it!!!! Your sense of humor always makes me laugh out loud, like have to pause the video to recover. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! Very happy to hear you enjoyed our contents!!!
Walmart is famous for hiring untrained cashiers, that's why they are so slow. Once they get experience they are able to get better paying union jobs and Walmart replaces them with another untrained cashier
I remember traveling on Japanese trains when I was in Japan. I agree so much that the trains are so much more smooth in Japan vs America. Thanks for the fun video Beatrice! ww
That’s because in the US the trains operate on 150 year old freight rails. In Japan all of the tracks were built (rebuilt) after 1945.
your amtrack story is just HILARIOUS!!!😂😂😂
Bragg’s has been making spray “soy sauce” for decades… it’s labeled as “liquid aminos” it isn’t fermented but it’s still essentially soy sauce in a spray bottle. It has more or better nutritional value and is marketed as a health food… partly because you can ration your servings by spraying instead of pouring.
Braggs makes other interesting stuff like raw apple cider vinegar and “nutritional yeast” as well.
I became aware of Bragg’s when I became vegan like 20 years ago and sprinkle nutritional yeast on nearly everything for b vitamins and flavor 👍
😊
I love when you look at the camera like: 😃
(I want a soy sauce spray bottle.)
She has a great smile!
that’s like tier 1 of how Walmart can be 😂😂
Yes! I felt like Walmart was a new world! So fun to see many interesting foods and people!
@@MrsEats Walmart is something Americans aren't really proud of to be honest, lol. Some of us like to pretend it doesn't even exist.
Oh my your so funny. I am really diggin this video thanks for sharing.
Oh my goodness, I just stumbled across this ladies channel and love it. She is so funny and, respectfully saying, so cute.
I think that you have two different personalities: American Mrs Eats and Japanese Mrs Eats, and neither one of them would survive in the other country. :) But I think that your natural personality is closer to the wild and fun American Mrs Eats
Thank you, Stevie Boy! I might sound different when I speak each language! Hope i'm wild and fun!
I love your videos they are awesome. You are very entertaining and fun to watch.
You are soooo adorable!!!! The way you describe things is unique!!! Congrats!!!!Greetings from Greece 😍
