- Hello everybody! Today, we're going to be looking at things that are normal for us here in Japan, but maybe not your part of the world! Many things that I thought wasn't special was actually not done in other parts of the world, so I was very surprised to learn about these things! I'm sure there are also some things that are normal in your culture that are not normal in Japan as well! Let's learn some of these differences together!

In my home country, you don't have to leave your phone unattended to be stolen. The robber will gladly take it from your hands.
Well, in my country someone on a bike can steal it is seconds 😅🤣 we call it "moto-chorro"
Hey, you dropped this 👑
Same. I need to be hugging my bag tightly on my chest all the time, and I still might get robbed
@Hai Charlette this is very unhealthy and wrong, please don't do that
Sounds like brazil to me lol
Interestingly, in the USA, if you leave any belongings you can be sure they'll be stolen. HOWEVER, if you ask a stranger to watch your things, they absolutely will protect your belongings with their life. I've walked away from my laptop and school supplies and asked people if they wouldn't mind keeping an eye on it for me. Likewise, I've been asked to watch someone's stuff and I won't leave that location until they come back, even if it's time for me to go.
I think it's the same in the UK - one time I was at a station and a stranger asked if I could watch his bag, suitcase and laptop while he went back through the barriers to grab some lunch for the train. Maybe I have a trustworthy face? :D
Hmm, well, if you ask someone to watch your things, you have to trust that one person. But if you just leave your things unattended, you have to trust everyone.
@@galaxiaad lol yeah but it'd be kinda ridiculous to blame that one person if your stuff gets taken lol. I get asked to watch people's stuff a lot. I don't know why it's not like I have time to ID a total stranger and wait for him to come back. I mean I probably would for a friend cuz than I'd know them when they take their stuff back, but if another total stranger takes it a) I'm not gonna interfere lol and b) even if I notice (I've been a Parking lot attendant and a Salvation Army bell ringer I've got work to do...) I won't distinguesh a total stranger from you lol. Anyway I just say sure lol
This is pretty true, it's a mental thing of "I need to protect, I was trusted, and... they know my face"
@Andrew Friend I agree- it's very American to do friendly favors for strangers, at least it is in Southern Illinois. And if they can't they apologize and tell you why."No, I'm sorry Hon, but I'm on the way to the Kroger to get some eggs for a cake. It's my nephew's birthday..." Or is this just my family???
When I went to Japan for a school trip, one of my friends accidentally left her purse containing her money and passport on an MRT. She waited at the station until the very same train gets back. And her purse was still there, nothing was stolen.
In Germany eggs are not washed, you might even find the occasional feather on them, but that leaves them with a natural protective layer which keeps them from spoiling for longer, so you don't even have to refrigerate fresh eggs.
In India too
Isn't it like this across Europe? Russia does the same too.
@@CluelessBookworm probably, because I was very surprised to hear that it was different in the US.
yup , we also take our shoes off in most private places, at home, at other friends homes etc.
i have no idea but where i live this may be the case but i have my own chickens so idk
It is so nice that people can walk freely and feel secure. That's something I really envy about Japan.
There is also places in europe?
Yeah, I also wish it was like that in my country (Germany). You can't walk around safely anymore after 6pm.
@@Hitsugix Really? I thought the opposite was true.
@@jdsantibanez Ha! Maybe 5 or 6 years ago.
@@Hitsugix oh, why do you think it is that way?
Seems those Japanese kids behave better than the adults 😂
Don't be confuse! Japanese kids are sometimes wild too!!
@@MrsEats oh really 😂 well they seem to behave better than adults in the western world
@@richakingames to be fair, well behaved adults don't make the news (etc.).
Can 100% confirm not all Japanese kids are little angels, but definitely universally better behaved than students in the UK! :D (One of my adorable 3rd graders yesterday said "Good morning, Miss Carla!" then she kicked me hard in the shin haha.)
@@droogette 😂 I know I am from the UK as well I know how them kids be like...
I never thought I'd say this, but those little kids taking the train to school on their own are adorable.
From the perspective of someone living in America, I always find it adorable when people from smaller countries say they travel very far and then say something along the lines of it's six hours by road. I used to drive 5.5 hours every Friday night and again every Sunday night to spend weekends with my wife (then girlfriend) when we were at different universities. It blew my cousins mind (We're originally from Ireland, he still lives there) when I had to explain that the state of Oregon in the US is about the same size as the entire UK, and it isn't even considered to be a particularly large state.
Nah, that's just absurd. I've done my fair share of long road trips, but that's 12 hours a week, you were spending a fourteenth of your life in a car.
@@accountid9681 It paid off. One year of unpleasant road trips 2x a week that turned into 21 years of happy marriage and family life. Sometimes you have to put in the work.
I can't even imagine what it is like to live in a country where you can leave your things unattended and not be robbed.
I grew up hearing the phrase:
'Trust God, but lock your car.'
how about trust no one and keep your lazar handy
Because there probably is no god... and if there was a god he'd be in Japan... one of the most atheistic or non-religious countries in the world :P
Same in Dubai ❤️
@@seppukun208 why, because you say so?
@@DisgruntledPigumon because based on lack of evidence. You can’t prove a negative so I say there probably is none. Never be 100% certain on anything.
Also I’m pointing out the hypocrisy of theism. They always credit god when something good happens, but never blame him for the bad thing that happened on the first place. Hypocrites
No wonder Ash was like 10 wandering around catching Pokémon and it wasn't an issue 🤣 Childhood freedom! Thanks for these cultural videos!
Ooo ryt....
I was always confused how the parents were okay with it
@@Iownchanwoo well now we know it’s because Japan is ridiculously safe.
Growing up in Germany I roamed around town and the woods with my friends all the time too. I thought that was normal.
I live in a small town. You can leave your porch door open all day and nobody is going to steal your stuff.
We get bottled water delivered to our doorstep. We leave the empty crates in our front yard to be picked up and at some point the delivery arrives and if we're not home, the crates might sit there for hours, no problem.
Our elderly neighbors see everything, so stealing would be risky.
We do have a couple of break-ins a year but that's nothing.
I walk my dog through the pitch dark forest at night and I'm not scared. Even without my dog the chances of getting raped and murdered is probably lower than being hit by lightning since the latter almost happened to my mom once...
In Canada I could travel around easily as a child. No worries. If I had a pokemon it would be even safer.
Imagine relying on human kindness and not being paranoid about ur stuff being stollen or being kidnapped
Its pretty similar here in germany. Children also walk to school their own. And its no problem to eat raw eggs. Even sleeping on the train is not a big deal here.
Wow! I had no ideal! I feel like Germany and Japan have a lot of things in common! Do you think your country is pretty safe for kids to be by themselves traveling too?
@@MrsEats Its not the same. Children in germany usually go the nearest school in their neighbourhood for the first 4 years, wich they can usually reach by foot within 10 minutes. Its very rare that children before grade 5 need to take the subway by themselves. And still its not rly that safe, children do get missing sometimes and abducted at daylight on their way from/to school. There are big organized pedophile rings and a lot of predators in germany. Even those formerly convicted predators are very protected and can live anonymously in areas where a lot of vulnerable children from poor families live too.
@@MrsEats I just discovered your channel few weeks ago and I say to my husband on a daily basis now that Japan and Germany are so much alike
While eating raw egg is generally okay in Germany, you should be aware that eggs are not cleaned in any way before they are sold. Often there is poop and feathers sticking on the outside, so you should clean them thoroughly before you try to eat them raw (I usually do that even if I intend to boil or fry them)
@@MrsEats more than japan with the US for sure
In my country If you are in a restaurant and you go to the bathroom and leave your phone on the table it will be gone 5-8 seconds later and you will never see that phone again
Ever.
Amateurs. In my country you'll see that phone as someone will try to sell it you. :P
@@StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe 🤣🤣🤣
Amateurs, I don’t have a phone WAHH
Tupac is one of 8 gods
I'm from Turkey and I get anxiety even leaving my phone on a table even when I'm there lol. I couldn't even leave my car with its windows open a little bit. I'd love to live in Japan where people trust eachother to send their kids outside or leave their cars open!
It's normal for me, but my husband told me it's so unusual in the world! I feel lucky I don't have to worry someone will try to take my things!
@@MrsEats When I was a kid, they let us wander a lot more at younger ages, but people got kind of irrationally-scared.
He valla oyledir maalesef
@@OllamhDrab I'm a latchkey kid (Gen-X), and I find it surprising how many people of the younger generations flip out about a parent allowing their kid to walk even very short distances by themselves. People act like parents should have their children taken away if they even let them walk to the school bus stop on their own, while in the 70s we were always outside playing by ourselves at around 5 or 6 years old. Of course, we knew not to run out in front of cars, which is something kids today don't seem to be taught.
@@Primalxbeast I’m a 20 year old Gen-Z kid and grew up without a phone, and the only time i had to come back home was when it started to get dark, but me and all of the other neighborhood kids ran around outside for a good amount of our childhood. I’ve never seen anyone in my generation ridicule kids for playing outside, but what I HAVE seen, even first hand are grown adults (usually 30-50’s) harassing children because they’re outside without their parents, and have heard stories of people’s neighbors calling CPS on them just because their kids were playing out in the yard without immediate supervision. With video games, the endless possibilities of the internet, and the fact that crimes definitely haven’t gone down, kids are more inclined to staying inside nowadays, and that’s the unfortunate truth. It’s such a normal thing now to have your kid stay indoors that if you do let them out you’d be going against societal norms, which as we know boomers are extremely protective of.
Some bars and restaurants have what is called “ Happy hour”. Then you usually get two drinks for the price of one.
There is no happy hour here in New England. We are prudish here because our culture came from the pilgrims. The bars here also close early.
I live in Brazil, I have consumed raw eggs my entire life and never ever got salmonella or any other disease.
The egg inside is normally safe (if it's not, you'll know from afar by its smell). Salmonella is usually found on feces, so you should wash the shell with soap before consumption.Wash it only right away before consumption, because the shell has a thin layer that protects the interior from external harms like bacteria and viruses, so doing it and storing the egg makes it vulnerable and very likely to rot.
When I took my daughters to Japan they were so surprised at how helpful and nice everyone was. We took a bus to a shrine in Kyoto and my oldest daughter some how didn’t get off the bus at our stop though she was right with us. I panicked and started looking around trying to figure out how to get her. Next thing I knew a second city bus pulled over full of passengers and the driver asked me what was wrong. I told him and he said come aboard and he would take me to the next stop. Half way there we saw my daughter running back trying to get to us and he pulled over and let us out. I’ll never forget the kindness of his actions and it was what we experienced our entire trip. We only had to look confused for 10 seconds before someone walked up and asked if they could help. Needless to say my daughter wanted to move to Japan after that.
I got offered sake at 7 am on the shinkansen. That was an eye opener.
Wow, so nice person!! Japanese enjoy drinking any time of day, especially if no work!
I’m envious about the freedom of children in the streets. It’s extremely exhausting as a young woman living in America to deal with unwanted attention from strangers almost on the daily or being taught at a young age to always be on guard, even on your own block.
Yeah even as an adult woman, there is fear. I would have loved to be walking alone as a kid not concerned for my safety
That is a blessing
@@ness7342 yeah! I saw a video talking about the amount of sexual harassment within public transportation in Japan is absolutely atrocious and women only carts are a thing due to it.
Even taking a Taxi turned out pretty horrible for me ....
Thinking it was safer than the subway at 2:30 dressed in baggy jeans, a 3/4 dark blue loose shirt normal collar and Skater shoes, looking very childish and prae - pubescent wirh 30 mm black hair at
( TRIGGER WARNING FOR ED's !!!!)
5.1 / 157 cm and 36 kg / 80 lbs....
*Numbers over!*
He offered me several drugs he had in his trunk - how convenient- and kept my hand when I paid.....and all I could think was :
" you stupid b!t(# , why did you forget your knife just tonight ?
If he had locked the doors and drove 1mile to the Danube, no one would have heard my screams and I can be LOUD ....
I tried to act lile I was complimented, but shy and once he let my hand loose i opened the door and ran like hell, Keys already in hand and on a heavy chain with multiple locks , perfect to swing into ones face .....
But I STILL feel guilty not to have looked at his Taxi- ID or license so I could report him.....who knows if he ever got someone.....I'm getting sick just thinking about it and if I was a bit cleverer maybe could get him caught.
But my first response was to play nice, get out the car without a fuzz , maybe strike if I needed to and run and scream like hell once I'm out.
With all that adrenaline I maybe could have fought him off. He was a skinny , relatively small male of maybe !nd!@n or similar nationality .
( no I 'm not saying this to make xxx millions of people look bad, just to explain why I might have had a chance in the worst case based on THIS guys build and looks)
Since then I take the subway and make sure there is an empty bottle near me I can smash and keep assholes at fighting distance...
Really not an exclusively woman thing, in fact you're more likely to be attacked as a dude.
@@ness7342 Japan has an insane amount of stalker and predatory behaviour and the amount of kids that have been molested on trains is wild.
I live in barcelona. If you leave your bicycle unattended for 30 seconds, it's gone. When I came to shikoku i rented a bicycle and asked for a lock, they didn't have any locks. I was SHOCKED when i parked my bike in the train station bike parking and NONE of the bicycles were locked, not a single one, i couldn't believe it.
In japan if you lost your money purse or iphone then you will get after 30 mins. So safe.
@@Lina-cy9ln One time I bought a black yukata for my brother, it was about 10.000 yen, it was good quality. I was coming back from the awa odori and i was a bit drunk, when I got out of the densha i forgot the yukata inside. Next day i went to tokushima eki and they had my yukata, even wrapped in paper. Japan is amazing.
At a grocery store I used to work at, the bicycles that were locked to the bike rack under camera were stolen within 5 minutes.
You will get your bike stolen in Japan if you leave it by the train station unlocked often enough. Maybe you didn’t see the front tire lock built into the bike? You can’t see if it’s locked unless you really look closely. I had three bikes stolen in Japan. It’s usually people who get off the train and they ride your bike home, possibly after the last bus leaves. They won’t mess with it if it’s locked though; they will jus move on to an unlocked bike. Also, your umbrellas are never safe in Japan. Everyone just takes each others’ umbrellas if it’s raining.
@@edwinazaiser38 Maybe it's because it was in the Inaka, in Naruto, north of tokushima ( yes there's a town called naruto)
In the US they will usually kick you out if you try to sleep in a restaurant, so I was very surprised during my first trip to Japan when my friend wanted to take a nap while I ate dinner, and the waitress actually brought her a blanket!
This makes me so sad. I've been homeless, and sometimes it's better to get a midnight coffee at a diner than just sit outside for ages. I'm paying for the drink + tip, like just bring me the one cup of overpriced coffee and leave me be for a few hours while I read a book quietly... The place is empty, and I'm well groomed, but because I have two duffel bags and are obviously homeless/aren't buying food, they constantly try to get me to leave after being there for 5 minutes.
Yet of course, when you go in the busy mornings around 7-9am, there's always a bunch of old dudes with a coffee reading the newspaper for hours.
@@MCNeko6554 I'm sorry this happens to you. I wonder if it would happen here in Southern California...I would hope not.
@@rhonda90402 I lived in the San Diego area for quite a while and the worst part about SoCal is not having access to a restroom. Due to some misplaced hate on the homeless population, many establishments have a coin operated bathroom door or refuse to allow people to use the restroom. This is especially true in downtown San Diego, where bathrooms are reserved for pregnant women only, regardless of whether the customer is homeless or not. On top of these restrictions on basic human needs, if you're caught doing your business outside, you are automatically charged as a sex offender, thus perpetuating the cycle of homelessness because sex offenders cannot get many jobs. Luckily, I was very careful and managed to get out of homelessness within a year.
@@MCNeko6554 I am glad you weren’t homeless for too long. I know what you mean but the homeless do bring along problems as so many are mentally ill. A business has to keep its clientele happy first. They are really trying to fix the homelessness crisis here. Most come from other states. If we didn’t have such great weather we wouldn’t have the brunt of the problem. In my city, Santa Monica, the majority of the crime stories seems to be about someone who is homeless hurting another homeless, a regular citizen, or a business. As I said mostly they are the mentally ill or drug addicts doing this.
@@rhonda90402 I have been homeless in California most of my life and did a program for homeless young people out in Santa Monica and I can say the homeless are a very broad spectrum of people. What you see by the beach in LA right now I know those people as hobos or as most in socal call them bums, they are different than the average person experiencing homelessness but all homeless people live with the stigma that particular type of homeless have created. I am employed full time and I clean the public restrooms at my work, the disrespect these homeless have makes me so angry not only that I have to clean up after them being dirty but that their behavior was the reason I had to pee in the bushes or behind dumpsters being a kid on the street with no money just because other people are so disrespectful nobody wants to give anyone the benefit of the doubt.
In my country, it's a bad idea to leave your belongings anywhere...
Yes! I didn't think it's so strange thing to leave your things, but I learned that Japan is "strange" place because nobody take your things!!
They'll take it right off your lawn! Don't leave by the curb, or anywhere near it
@@MrsEats may be becouse of CCTV, i haven't been in Japan but i am foreigner in S Korea and they always say there is cctv you shouldn't do this,there is CCTV, you cant do this in here, i think they dont do bad things becouse they afraid from CCTV
I love you, your humour and your editing so much. You're my official japanese meme mom.
I live in the US and I often break two raw eggs in a glass of whole milk for a light breakfast. My father taught me that and he has done it for decades. Neither of us have ever been sick from it. I did not know it was even considered unsanitary until now. lol
You should play the lottery haha
You living under a rock?
@@sandramays795 Usually properties and the risks of certain foods is information your parents share with you. It sorta makes sense that he would be unaware of it if both his parents never mentioned anything.
@@delta-a17 I didn’t learn about the dangers of raw eggs from my parents either but that info is all over the place. Seems hard to miss.
I think some people have a better immune system than others, and others decline with age. I used to be able to eat raw eggs up until I was 16 in the US. If I did that now, I’d land myself in the hospital. But eggs I drop in my ramen that are 20% cooked is still okay for me.
They do have the occasional “dollar shots” and the Thursday night ritual of “ladies drink free” here in the U.S.
Oh I didn't know that! Ladies drink free is limited by time or okay to drink whole night?
@@MrsEats the whole evening on ladies night
I've never seen "ladies drink free" but in Dallas we used to have "bottomless mimosas" at brunch.
@@MrsEats but the bartender also has the ability to say”you’ve had enough” at any time
@@karriek.3429 Bottomless? Is it all you can drink?
Here in Canada, there is often another reason not to leave the engine running while your car is temporarily parked. Many places have anti-idling laws which limit the time a car can be left this way (whether or not the driver is present). The aim is to reduce air pollution.
That's awesome 😎
Lol, we have those in NYC but no one enforces them, do they in Canada?
@@mariebernier3076 Depends on the city. In Toronto they do. Its parking enforcement officers aren't known as the "Green Hornets" for nothing. 🤣
@@portaltwo Gawd, soooooo jealous in NYC.
That would suck if you were just trying to charge your phone, but I hate it when people pull up next to me in the park and just leave their car running indefinitely, especially if it's a pickup with their curved exhaust pipe aimed directly into my car.
It’s similar in Australia, you can leave your belongings on the beach, in a restaurant and feel it’s pretty safe.
This reminds me of how people in the older generation in Sweden say it was safe when they were little. Stuff like not locking your car door or even house door at night, and kids being unsupervised outside. But this was in like the 70s I think.
heard that for noth texas too whre i live
Seeing kids walking alone was the biggest shock for me in Japan lol it always made me worry. Because growing up in the US, sometimes we couldn’t walk or take the metro without weirdos trying to talk to us.
I’m from Germany (a village) and I had to walk a kilometer to my bus station every early morning alone with my friend- nobody was even awake. Now that I’m an adult I wonder how parents could do that I’d be hella scared
Japan is a lot safer than Germany or the USA.
@@bethanyaudion9441 yes that’s why it’s so fascinating
@@LaSa1Here in Munich, a lot of kids go/bike to the elementary school alone. Never had any thought until I’m a parent now - how do their parents do it?! 🤣
@@bethanyaudion9441 Germany used to be way safer, but for **some** reason that's no longer the case.
It's nice to see that Japan is still a high trust society. When I was a kid here in the US it wasn't uncommon at all for me and my friends to take off all day by ourselves, we were about 5 miles from town and we'd regularly ride our bikes into town, ride down to the creek and swim, etc. and this was before cell phones. This was even encouraged, my parents didn't want us hanging out around the house, they wanted us to go out and do things. You see this less and less today, you'll still see it occasionally in rural areas, but hardly ever in the cities/suburbs; the trust that once held our society together seems to be disappearing.
“Ok boomer.” Lol just kidding, but no one wants to hear that things were way better back in the day. Hey, at least we got to live back then and enjoy a better life.
It's so true. I grew up in a small town and I remember my friends and I running wild all day during summer vacation and not coming back home until dinner time. These days, however, you never see that, mostly because kids are either parked in front of a computer and because the town I grew up in isn't as safe as it used to be.
I'd be interested in what Japan's criminal justice system is like, whether the penalties for crime are so bad it's not seen as worthwhile to commit crime or whether its a case that being a more collectivist society they have a greater sense of social responsibility or a shared sort of 'honour code'. Unfortunately in the west (I'm from the UK) you can definitely see as we've 1) moved away from capital punishment (I don't agree with it myself) and 2 become more and more capitalist and individualist focused we've lost that shared sense of community trust and responsibility. My children have no sense of what it was like when I was young to leave the house and not come back until almost bedtime, and no one got worried or sent out search parties looking for you.
@@talllala It's an interesting study, the Japanese criminal justice system is stricter than what is typical in the west today and prison is a lot harsher, even more so than in the United States. But it's nowhere near as draconian as the English and American common law systems were before the legal reforms of the mid 19th century. But I honestly think the low crime rate in Japan is more a product of the culture than the criminal justice system; I usually argue that law is downstream of culture, that is to say that the harshness of a justice system is determined by cultural norms. Still, it would be interesting to see Mrs. Eats' take on it.
@@costakeith9048 Thank you for your insight! I concur, that it is likely the culture that is most influential for the low the crime rate. I agree it would be nice to hear Mrs Eats opinion.
As a child in Russia I loved this sweet drink made of raw egg yolks whipped with sugar. Not sure how popular it still is, but it is delicious, especially with a drop of lemon juice.
In Portugal we also have that. Grandmothers gave it to kids to have more strenght. Those were their words. God bless the grandmas around the world
In Poland we also have this. We call it kogel-mogel. But I never saw anyone making it except my grandma. I was eating it as a child but nowadays I am concerned and I refuse, despite my grandma telling me "pouring boiling water on the egg will make it safe".
@@AnaMert1 Wow, the name is almost the same, we call it gogol-mogol. Does it mean anything in Polish? Because in Russian it's definitely borrowed
@@CluelessBookworm No, it doesn't mean anything. Although it sounds kind of like "cauldrsu-pressu" to me ("kogel" sounds kind of like kocioł=cauldron and "mogel" sounds kind of like "magel" which is somehow related to old laundry ironing machine). A sound a toodler that doesn't know any language yet would make to describe something is mixing and being pressed. Sort of. Probably someone in some language (doesn't matter which one) randomly made the "kogel-mogel" name and it become popular.
In my childhood in the U.S., kids had the same "freedoms" as you describe in Japan. We didn't even lock our doors until it was time to go to bed. We just had to be home by nightfall. One time in elementary school, my parents dropped my older siblings and I off at the mall. I ended up meeting a kid, walked to his house, watched a movie, played with some toys, then walked back to the mall, met by siblings and got picked up by my parents. Just a run of the mill day as a kid back then.
I wish it still worked like that. Recently, a friend of mine got in trouble when the police found his son playing by himself in the park. The park is only like a quarter of a mile from their house...
The way modern American society seems to punish you for not locking your kid up at home 24 hours a day makes me super hesitant to have kids of my own.
In the UK we have a standard of 'Red lion' eggs basically certifying that they are safe from salmonella, (most eggs you buy in the supermarket are that standard.) so while people generally stay away from eating them raw as there's still that fear of eating raw eggs, its perfectly safe in theory
Wow!! Red Lion egg! Why is it called Red Lion? So you must be able to eat it without getting sick! Have you tried raw egg?
@@MrsEats they stamp each egg with a picture of a lion along with some information about where it was laid and a best before date. Yeah I've tried it a few times but I found just cracking the egg over some rice a little plain for my tastes (sorry japan 😂)
@@Matt_S1 Yes, it's plain I think for most people! But Japanese like simple flavor!
@@Matt_S1 if it's too plain, try adding some rice seasoning, seaweed or seven spice seasoning !
I'm from the UK and whilst raw eggs here are totally safe my husband still tells me off when I eat cake batter that has raw egg in it, but it is so tasty :D
Do any of you remember the Edwina Currie Egg Scandal? I think that has a lot of do with why my generation and older have an inbuilt aversion to raw eggs :/
“In Japan people don’t touch other people’s belongings.”
So there was this one time I was taking the Shinkansen, and the lady next to me got up. We were a few minutes away from the next station so I thought she was leaving. I noticed she left her coat behind so I grabbed it and went after her - after a minute or so of frantic searching I saw she was actually in the smoking area … and this suspicious looking foreigner has her coat … well, back to my seat, I hope no-one saw me >_
Wow!! Was she mad you touch her coat?? My husband told me when he was on a plane in America, a lady left her bag on the seat and he thought she forgot it. He was going to grab it and bring to her, but she yelled at him. DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF!! He was so surprised!
@@MrsEats hahah! No, she never saw, I'm sneaky that way. >_< I felt doubly ashamed too because, earlier on, she let me use the power outlet to charge my phone too! honto ni sumimasen!
Apparently shoplifting is the most common crime in the US, and people hardly ever (and shouldn't) leave their purse in the shopping cart even to walk a foot away. People here are fast and crafty, watching for you to turn your back for a second. At a gas station, it's good to keep an eye on your car as well. Sometimes people will sneak up to the car and steal the bags right out of the car. They open the door and everything without anyone noticing. It's worse in Mexico, where you should probably keep your car windows closed even while driving, as someone on a bike might go by and grab your phone on the way.
When you said kids have more freedom I was a bit envious. Growing up, I had to be picked up and dropped off as an elementary school student even though I lived down the street. As a middle school student I was allowed rarely to walk to and from school. As a high school student I was allowed to take the school bus since the school was in the city but usually was collected at the bus stop. A few times in junior and mostly through Senior year I was able to take public transportation. My family was very protective as I was a girl and only child. 1990s and 2000s were not all that good in terms of child safety outside of school in the US. I guess my family wanted to ensure that I was back home in one piece lol. I had a couple interesting moments going home from school, kinda concerning the more I think back on those moments, but I knew how to handle myself. I tried many times to say that I was able to take myself to school to my family, especially as a little kid, and that I was okay and begged to allow me to simply walk to school. Nope! XD They said they trusted me but they didn't trust other people x. X which I guess is understandable. People were creeps back then and they're worse now. Even seeing stories of kids getting abducted or someone attempting to do so it's sad. Amber alerts are crazy too. I dunno, I'd probably walk my child to school if I were to have a family in Japan. I mean Japan looks nice and serene but then again idk maybe that's my maternal side being paranoid lol.
Anyway I love raw egg in cooked rice, I'll have to put soy sauce in it lol. I accidentally left keys in my previous car and someone stole it x. X oof. It depends on where you live when it comes to leaving stuff or sleeping somewhere in public. But yes, great video Mrs. Eats, sorry for the long comment hahaha
Maria! Thank you for sharing your experience as a kid!! I totally understand that you would take your kids to school! Even though grew up here, and Japan is pretty safe for the most part, I would be worried if my kid had to go to school all alone! Kids here goto school in groups of 5 to 10 ! so you might feel safer in a group:) Thank you for your comment!
Bro I am in highschool and I still ain't allowed to go to a 5 minute distance by myself and before lockdown I was dropped and picked to and from school respectively ( ╹▽╹ )
@@locksley12 I send a virtual hug. Lol. Hopefully you are almost done with High school and will get to experience the world as we know it. Whatever your future endeavors, best of luck ^v^
@@MrsEats No problem lol! Tbh being the only child was the biggest reason, my uncle confirmed. (He was in middle school/high school when I was a baby/elementary school student lol). Otherwise, I'd might've been allowed LOL! Then again I grew up mostly in my grandma's care since my mom worked a lot and she, I also found this out a while back, was the one making all the restrictions XD Super protective, oof. Of course as I got older she let up in tiny pops. Emphasis on tiny XD But all in all, I thank her for caring about me and keeping me safe.
@@mariaarakat8823 awe thank you sm! :') yer so sweet, I hope so too I get to see the world
“Japan has alcohol vending machines.”
Me: Where’s my passport?
Hahaha! If you like drinking, maybe Japan is the way to go!
😂😂👍
"You can drink in public."
"All you can drink"
My husband would love a trip to Japan more than I thought!
Yep, and most of them are operating 24/7. You know, to avoid minors from buying alcohol during hours when nobody can see them.
I never knew this was not a thing in other countries
Ok, this video convinced me that Japan must be the safest country on the planet.
Yes, Japan is very safe! Maybe not safest, but very safe!! How about your country? Is it safe?
@@MrsEats its relatively safe, but could be better, I guess?
Except for things like earthquakes and stuff...
@@MrsEats I live in Brazil. I live in a safe area, but many places here are very dangerous, with a very high crime rate, unfortunately.
@@bUtLUtu Alaska gets earthquakes too
I feel like it's a good idea to turn off your engine in your car, not because it can be stolen, but because if it should roll down a hill, and accident can happen because no one is there to brake the car, though I'm sure people in Japan that do this are careful enough.
In Germany it depends on where you`re living. When I am in a small village it is completely normal that kids go to school on their own and you don`t have to worry about your property if you leave it alone. But when you go to bigger Citys like Berlin you really have to be carefull when and where you`re going
The part with the chicken had me dying! Lol I love your humor and your editing!!! It is so funny!!
Me too!
0:06 I can just picture your face on the disgusted cat photo looking at your friends like “what?? It’s delicious?!” 😂
Yes, I feel like the cat being yelled at by my friends, haha!
Where I live in the US robberies and assaults/murders happen almost daily and are reported by local Facebook groups. Japan is a fascinating and peaceful place by the sounds of it. I'd love to visit some day.
Really nice to feel safe in your country, I think almost all over the world if you leave your cellphone or laptop for a few minutes and go to arrangements when you come back you will not find them.
Here in Brazil, if you let you car running... They keep running with other drive lol
And yet Japanese LOVE Brazil somehow.
É foda mano
Same in Hungary too.
My family: don’t eat raw egg with rice
Me: I really want to
Yes! You can when you are in Japan!
Buy pasteurized eggs if you want to do this and you'll probably be fine.
Yeah I've had drinks here in the us with raw egg and never gotten sick (like when Starbucks did those egg white cloud drinks a while back!)
@@MrsEats kk I’ll go it bc I wanna see the texture hehe
If you put it on hot rice they would be cooked by the rice. I found a recipe for pasta carbonara where you mix raw eggs into the spaghetti right after you take it out of boiling water, its the same principle. Not the same as just eating it raw
We don’t have an all you can drink type thing, but we have something called Happy Hour where the prices of drinks are lowered and you can get maybe like free appetizers or something.
1) Your videos are awesome and hilarious. My husband showed me one this weekend and I had to subscribe. 2) All of what you said blew my mind as an American living Japan. By the time we had left, it’s was normal to eat raw eggs and leave my belongings on my train seat while I walked away. The one thing that was still hard to grasp was the cramming schools. One near our place would be packed with high schoolers at 10 pm 😳
I just woke up, and that breakfast rice and raw egg is making me hungry...
Wow!! Do you eat raw egg usually in your country?
@@MrsEats Its not really a common thing, but there are certain places to try it at! I definitely want to try it whenever I get the chance.
When I lived in the mountains of Utah I noticed people leaving their cars engines running when they went into stores. They never locked their doors and even left things out in case neighbors needed to borrow them. It was so strange to me because I grew up in Southern California where you had to keep everything locked up.
One time I received a call asking me to come pick them up. I didn't have a car but I was told to just borrow the neighbor's car. They leave the keys in it just in case. I felt really weird about taking it. Such a different world up there in that area.
Wow! We don't do that hardcore in Japan! Sounds like that part of America is safer than here!
Do you think that's because of the Mormon population in Utah? Might have a better sense of community than others.
@@rileyp12301 I think so. I was never able to walk anywhere. People would pull over and offer...or insist on giving me a ride.
@@rileyp12301 It could be but also small towns in the U.S. tend to have more of a community than elsewhere in general. Most people I know from small towns have similar experiences with leaving houses and cars unlocked in case the neighbors need something when they're gone. Seems weird but people in smaller towns usually grew up together like a big family and so if you imagine your brother or cousin stopping by while you're gone- it's sort of like that. I live in a city but people in my family tend to share keys to eachothers places so we can stop by eachothers places when we need to.
It's unfortunately not like that everywhere in Utah. My brother had his savings and laptop stolen from his car because he went into a gas station bathroom and had accidentally left the car unlocked while heading out on a trip.
Certain cities you absolutely can leave things unlocked, but others you should keep any valuables in the trunk and lock up. Leaving anything visible is likely going to get your windows broken but the less stuff sitting out, the better chance of someone not finding anything of value so they tend to leave cleaner cars alone. Thieves are more scared of getting caught here so they make sure they have a reason to do so 😂. Seems like downtown in every bigger city is where you should keep an eye, but most other places are pretty freakin safe in terms of stealing/robbery.
rice and raw egg is soooo good. A friend of mine whose family is from Japan enlightened me to the raw egg with rice. It's so great and I eat it often!
There is a reason why I love your videos. For the most part, they're so bright and happy. I always smile.
In Croatia people sleeping in the public are usually driunk, but it is not seen often during the day.
We also have a big highschool trip somewhere far and it is more official here; the teachers go too and the trip is usually to Spain, Greece, Czech Republic or Netherlands. It lasts about a week and the bus is a private one rented through some agency.
Yes, usually in Japanese high school, there is official high school trip where you go with your class and teachers. But usually students like to do their own final trip before they graduate high school! So me and my friends went to Tokyo Disneyland together by highway bus with no adult! But I realize that day I don't like Disneyland, haha!
My place has big trip to other country only at the end of 4th grade of high school. I dunno about you.
And yes, only drunk sleep outside
Nomihodai + vending machines + study abroad = I am surprised I am still alive.
I live in Finland and here, they also determined that eating raw eggs is in all practical sense completely safe. In fact, for many years, it was discouraged to eat raw cookie dough or stuff like that because of the raw eggs included, but yet, all along it was completely fine to do. I've actually started mixing raw eggs into my food, and as someone who hated eggs for the longest time, I had no idea how good they can be raw and in the right foods! It's really awesome
NNK Japan is pretty interesting to watch, you learn so much.
When I was growing up in the 70s, I remember my parents leaving their car keys in the ignition all the time. House doors unlocked for the most part. Also I remember walking to elementary school from the 1st grade onward. We lived about a half mile from my school. Different times I guess.
Better times. Let’s not mince words. :)
Yep. Strangely enough, crime was higher in the 70's than it is now.
@@mygirldarby The neighbourhood would look out for you though if you made friends with your neighbours. Today most people don't know half the people on their street.
Us GenXers were very independent kids.
But also in the 70s people were getting nabbed in broad daylight in their local neighborhoods
I remember one time when I was around 10 years old, me and my friend were playing around in school and because of that we missed the bus, so we didn't know what to do, so we decided to walk home, it was around June I think and it was in Texas, so it was super hot, midway through a car pulls up in front of us and these two ladies ask us if we needed a ride and we said yes, good thing they were good people and actually took us home, if they weren't good people, I probably wouldn't be here typing this right now.
I'm glad you are safe, Joe! My husband had a same story! A man stopped when he was walking home and say "Hey I know your mom. Get in the car. I'll bring you home." My husband always said no but the tried 3 times!!!! Never get in the car with strangers in Japan too!!!!
I wish I had that kind of freedom lol
My mom doesn’t even let me walk in the park behind our complex without an adult...
In my country, we usually book the seats by putting a tissue on the table. Japan usually is a safe place. I once saw vegetable outside a supermarket without any supervision. The customers just pick their stuff and go in to pay.
I really miss how safe you feel in Japan. Coming back to Costa Rica, in Latin America, and hearing news of killings, robberies, etc., etc.; everyday, and having to walk while you suspect of everything and everyone, is exhausting...
It was a very bizarre experience for me as a young woman who had only lived in Chicago, New York CIty, and the Detroit area live alone in Tokyo. I had never felt so safe in my entire life, much less in a big city. Drunk salaryman would sometimes make silly comments toward me but I never once felt threatened
@@turingmochi6282 I am half Japanese, half American and have lived in both countries and am fluent in both languages. I went to university in Chicago, and I feel safer in the US than I do in Japan. Crimes against women in Japan occur often and are underreported and not taken seriously at all. I will say that I did not feel as safe in Chicago as I do now in Florida. I will also say that sexual crimes in Japan are a serious problem but other crimes in Japan don’t occur as often as the US.
Mrs. Eats and Imamu Room are like curling up on the couch with a blanket and hot cup of tea to me. Comforting for some reason.
We have eggnog here in the US which is properly made with raw egg. Some people stress out about it more than they used to. I just wipe down the shell with some bleach water and let it sit for a minute before using. After half of a century I have never had any problems.
卵かけご飯 quickly became my favorite breakfast in Japan. Figuring out how to pasteurise eggs was one of the first things I did when I returned to Europe.
Here in Portugal i've seen quite often people leaving stuff like laptops or their bags unattended while they're doing something else. I wouldn't do it, but people do and i think it's rare for them to be stolen.
Wow that's good! I'm happy to hear other place don't take your things! But maybe in really big city, it's not so safe! I think some place in Osaka, you may not find your things again!
and we also have gemadas: raw eggs with sugar (I never liked it but most kids loved it)
@@sellmoon true
Same here in Germany. I forgot my laptop with phone in the subway once. Someone found it, charged my phone, called my last contact and even brought it near my location 😭 I think there are quite some deserts in Europe that are made with raw eggs too
As a vietnamese person, my grandma always makes this as a breakfast and she let me get some of it 😃
Oh wow! Vietnamese eat raw egg and rice too? Do you use soy sauce or another kind of sauce?
@@MrsEats ah yes, we use soy sauce and i just get the Food Wars reaction everytime i bite into it. （⌒▽⌒）
My partner is Vietnamese/American and I had a similar reaction to the raw egg on rice as the people in New Zealand mentioned in this video 😅. It's really good! It just goes completely against my upbringing and understanding of raw eggs.
@@MrsEats I eat it in the US. I buy my eggs from a local farm that washes and sell them same day they are laid .
I could never dream of leaving my things unattended here in Argentina lol
You reminded me of my trip to Japan. I found it so cool to see people just chilling at the massage chairs at the stores, and when I was tired between seeing different attractions I always tried to find a department store to do the same
I love your editing so much, you're hilarious!
For the alcohol bit, there's something called an "open bar" which is similar to what you described but that's more for events like a wedding reception.
I also know of some restaurants that'll have something called "bottomless mimosas" which are unlimited mimosas during a set time, typically brunch hours (a time between breakfast and lunch)
I visited a Japanese University for a short cultural visit organised by my university. One of my friends accidentally left her phone on a bench near the edge of the uni and when she came back it was gone. She reported it to security who were sure it would be returned, when it wasn’t the uni apologised. They said no one would steal things like that but that it could have been wild monkeys.
Wow ! So much new information thank you so much !
I live in the US in rural Texas and we keep free range chickens so we have our own fresh eggs every day! I like to barely cook the whites of the egg with the yolk still raw and put it over rice with a little green onion over top. So yummy :)
Something about completely raw egg whites feels weird to me. I think its just the texture? Maybe because I am not used to it.
Yes, raw egg is a little slimy! But Japanese really enjoy slimy texture with some food!
In my country (I live in Sweden) it’s normal to eat raw eggs because we don’t have salmonella here. We don’t eat raw eggs that much but for some meals or desserts they are necessarily. It is nice to be able to eat, for example, non cooked cookie dough without having to worry about getting sick.
Oooh that's good! I can enjoy TKG in Sweden too!!
Denmark too!
Same in Belgium. Some people also really enjoy a raw egg on mashed potatoes and stuff.
I think the raw egg thing might be only for certain countries? In Canada I've never been warned against it and we use raw eggs for desserts and stuff.
In the US the danger of raw egg has been overblown, which is common here. People like to act like things are much more dangerous than they are. A lot of people eat raw eggs anyway and I havent heard of them getting salmonella. The more common way to get salmonella is eating raw cookie dough. It isn't the raw egg. It's the raw flour. Flour is stored in unclean silos and it cannot be cleaned the way eggs are.
By the way, eggs are cleaned here in the US too. They aren't cleaned in most countries in Europe. Cleaning eggs removes the natural antibacterial coating so we have to refrigerate our eggs and tthey don't have to in most european countries.
🥺that freedom thing is what I like the most about Japan ..here im living Adrien's life
I saw on you tube that raw egg is added to ramen. So I tried doing the same thing. Mum not only scolded me, looked at it in disgust of my choices. Then gave me a good pep talk in the danger of salmonella. I actually loved it. I thought I saw it wrong when I did it because of how mum reacted. Bout now that you did this, I knew I saw it right.
Fun and educational as always. Great job
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Do you have any of these things in your country?
@@MrsEats Well, some things I guess, but not in my home town. I'm just a mountain monkey.
It was such a refreshing thing to be able to leave my stuff on the beach without caring if someone is going to steal it. Thank you dear people of Tottori!
I live in the UK and I must say, it must be wonderful to have such freedom and safety for children and young folk in Japan as well as the trust to be able to just leave a car running while you pop in a shop or leave your belongings unattended to reserve a seat- these are certainly things that would simply never happen here.
As a French Canadian, I'm very used to eating raw egg (yolks) in tartare and classic Caesar salad. Spaghetti carbonara can be delicious too when prepared properly. Doesn't feel weird at all. Horse meat tartare is one of my all-time favourite recipes. I'd love to try Japanese basashi some day!
In my small town, I've never had anything stolen, but I was raised to be cautious with my belongings and not risk it. Unfortunately, many folks around me aren't lucky enough to avoid the experience. The vigilance against something that hasn't happened to me yet can get exhausting, and I would love nothing more than to be able to put down the suspicion of my neighbors and surrounding community I was raised with. I would love to have the opportunity to live in a place where that sort of respect for your fellow human beings is normal. I love your energy, Mrs. Eats, and your content. :-) I will have to poke around your channel to see if you've done a video talking about how Japanese folks view entertainment media versus other countries, but if you haven't done one, would you consider doing one? I think it's a topic most foreigners with no experience or foreknowledge get confused on and while I have my own opinions on the differences from what I've studied, I would be very interested in a native's observations and opinions on it.
It's such an ironic way we have to live, we assume we are civilised but we live in fear just like medieval times when there was no police. Japanese assume everyone is good so you can relax and live life without worried a criminal is going to steal your stuff or rob you with a weapon, high tech everywhere no vandalism. Everywhere else you assume there is a criminal nearby waiting to ruin your day at any moment the second you are unprepared, vending machines have to be built like a tank to survive the vandalism. Almost everyone in rest of the world has had something stolen and been a victim of crime, everyone lives in fear it will happen again, we are not very civilised at all.
Hello! My name is itai, I live in Israel (my name probably sounds weird for you, I know what that means in Japanese 😅), I just wanted to say thank you! I saw your videos today for the first time and I really enjoy it, I work every day all day and your videos help me feel happy again after a hard day of work.
Itai Thank you very much for your comment! I'm glad you had fun! We will do our best to make more fun contents
I only like eggs very well cooked, but as a kid, I grew up licking cake batter bowls and never got sick from the raw eggs.
Same.
When I was younger - free range kids was the norm. In the summer we just had to be back by dark, or call if a friend invited us for dinner. Yah the egg things is amazing ... I'm still not sure when I go to Japan I'll try that. But the most amazing thing is lack of theft.
"We leave cars running and then just walk and do chores, my husband was shocked"
Me, who lives in a rural area where it's a long walk to steal my car: ?????
I think countryside is usually safe in all countries!
In my country it’s already illegal to let the car running and warm up during you scratching ice from the windshield... 🤷♂️
Yea, here in Germany in the rural areas thats also normal
I live in suburban Massachusetts and sometimes people at my smallish local liquor store leave their cars running while they run in for beer. I wouldn't tho!
In latinoamerica that would be risky
i'm italian and people costantly double park, it's so annoying! and not even for like 5 minutes, some people just double park and go into the supermarket to do their whole shopping, presumably just hoping no one keys their car in retaliation? 😂
it must be nice as a kid to have that level of indipendence but i don't even have children and i think i'd live in costant fear letting my 7 year old go take the train by themselves! so scary!!
My husband said same thing about kids going places by themselves! It's very interesting, in Japan, we teach kids to do many things by themselves, like go to school, go to store, etc. by themselves. There was even a TV show in Japan, mom tells her children, from age 3 - 5, to go to the store by themselves and buy some ingredients. Some kids are scared, but you can see adults in the community watch out for them and try to help them!
Half a century ago, much of the US was quite similar: leave a car running for a few minutes while you ran inside to do something, or even leave it parked overnight without locking it; leave town for a week or so and leave your front door unlocked so your neighbors could bring in your mail and newspapers while you were away; rode my bike pretty much anywhere so long as my family knew what time to expect me to be home; etc. Heck, used to even be that your cab could get you to the airport ten minutes before your departure time and you could still make your flight.
I’m amazed at the similarities between my own culture (Swedish) and Japanese. I really didn’t think things would be as similar. Everything but the alcohol felt very, very Swedish. For me this was really chocking! Also thank you for yet another interesting video
Those little kids are going without parents in train and my Indian mom don't even let me go to the school alone which 500m from my house 😂I couldn't even think of going in train alone
Oh, the dream that is to be able to go about your day doing stuff without the constant fear of being robbed, mugged or having anything stolen.
Oh wait, you're telling me such a place exists in reality?
Ohhh it's on the other side of the world?
Of course it is ;_;
It exisits in their minds, not real
In my country you can leave a bag unattended if you can see it, for the most part, but anything valuable should be kept safe. We also have a last year of highschool trips called "schoolies" for anyone who have finished their exams. The most popular place is the gold coast. From where I live, it takes 23 hours in a car to travel there
Ohhhhh Mrs. Eats ! I JUST LOVE YOU 😭本当にもうこんな動画観るだけで泣けるで😭 私バングラデシュ人なんですけど日本の思い出がすんごい浮かんできます❗
I tried dipping my sukiyaki in raw egg at a local Japanese restaurant an as I did I just couldn’t because of the texture, but the Japanese staff were just so pleased I even tried.
I was at a fast food resturant and accidentally left my purse inside. After coming back for it all of my money was gone. I had just graduated high school and all of the money my relatives gave me was in there.
Terrible
Ouchhh
In Finland it's forbidden to leave your car running if you're not driving it. There's a one minute ruling. And that's a good thing, less pollution.
Our kids go to school by themselves, too. ALWAYS, since the 1st grade, when they're 6 or 7.
Hello from Oregon! Actually I’ve done my rice with soft boiled eggs because I hate uncooked egg whites but I love mixing in my runny yolks. It’s wonderful with rice and a little really good shoyu. I also love sweet potatoes and eggs for breakfast. I mix my soft boiled eggs with a microwaved peeled sweet potato. So good!
lmao, those edits were very funny
Raw eggs are good in France :) when I make Tiramisu (Italian dessert, so good!) I have to use raw eggs and it has always been okay
There is also a french dish, steack tartare, where you mix raw egg with raw beef meat and other seasonings
For leaving your phone or anything else in public, it has 99% chance of being stolen ^^"
Wow!! Steak Tartar sounds like Korean yukhoe!! It's raw beef with raw egg and mixed together! Maybe it come from France! Also, my husband agree that if you leave your phone in public, it will be stolen! But not Japan!
Raw beef !, good luck with the tape worms.
No, not 99% chance. You’re exaggerating. 🙄
I live in a very rough/dangerous city and when I went to Japan, it was so strange for me to actually be "calm" when outside. It was a breath of fresh air to just relax, not have to worry about things, whereas if I go outside in my city now, you always feel on edge, ready to protect yourself. Plus leaving your phone on the table to reserve it? That'd take some getting used to for sure.
Here in Norway, up north, when it gets really cold (like below 30 or 40°C) people will leave their cars running while doing errands, because turning it off can make it difficult to start it again when you come back 🥶 people will also leave things on their table in cafés, but nothing expensive like a laptop or a phone
i have seen a huge bucket full of coins in a pachinko once and i looked around because no one is guarding it. deep in my heart i wanted to take it 😂😂😂
Wow!! I wonder who's coin they are!! In high school, my classmate somtimes leave their wallets on their desk and they go to cafeteria, bathroom, or sports class. Nobody stole anything. We are used to this!
@@MrsEats Japan is like another world... where there are still MANNERS. Sounds like a dream.
