    From special Japanese customs to how to avoid getting eaten by bears - there’s so much you don’t know about Japan yet!

    **NOTIFICATION SQUAD**
    This summer, many festivities that could not be hold for last 2 years due to the SITUATION came back and people from all over Japan and some from the world enjoyed the atmosphere.
    Watching the news, I realized I have not really covered Japanese festivities apart from Awaodori which I only practiced.
    So if you have any festivities that you want me to take a part, let me know and I will cover it in the channel.

      Bon Odori! Or maybe it’s a little late for that, but anyway thanks for telling us stuff than not any British you tuber can say.
      See Ryotaro knows what I’m talking about. Though I kinda knew a little about the gifts. Not AMAZING clickbait tho.^_−☆

    @gagamba9198 Před rokem +1

    Re bewaring black and brown bears Japan, it's really important to have a bell or wear them to let them know you're in the area. Listen to Ryotaro. The brown bears are more dangerous. If you can learn to differentiate their faeces, you'll be able to tell which one you're near. That'll help. Usually the brown bear's has bells in it.

    Handy tips if Japan ever re-opens to us mug tourists again 😂 I've often used "omakase" when we have no clue what is on the menu but these other phrases will be very handy. Thanks! Over a number of trips to Japan we've often been given fruit as gifts - mostly to our kids - and sometimes by random strangers on the street. It is very gracious and welcoming and very much appreciated. So far nothing from bears. We're yet to see a live bear in the wild in Japan although we did enjoy a lovely bear soup in Gunma once 😐😂 To be honest we didn't know beforehand that it was bear.... which brings us back to "omakase" 😂😂😂

    5:52 So by "even" you only mean the first digit? Because 30k and 50k are even numbers.
    Fun fact: in Chinese culture even is lucky because we have an expression of "good things happen in double." In fact, an odd number would be taboo at weddings because odd numbers are reserved for funerals (e.g. $501).

    But yes I agree that before you go anywhere, you try to learn at least the basic phrases of the native language of the place you're visiting. I visited Puerto Rico when I was eight, and even though I'm Latino, English was my first language and I didn't really take Spanish seriously until middle school. So I used Puerto Rico as an opportunity to tweak my Spanish. For every new language you learn, you open doors to new worlds of those cultures
