Being punctual at appointments, not going across the street when the lights are red, taking your shoes off inside the house and not littering on the streets? As a german i find this attitude....agreeable!
Every place should have this
Same in The Netherlands
thats why i always say, germany is like japan . and with that, they both dont get things done XDD . (japan and germany both very unoptimized . )
Same, here in India too we follow this
@RichardSpears1 When I was growing up, my parents had a mat outside the front door for us to wipe our shoes on. Regarding crossing against the light, I think cops should give citations the same way they do when drivers run red lights.
I was in japan two years ago. I spent almost two hours chatting with a pair of police officers because they wanted to practice their English. And in turn, Helped me out with some Japanese.
that is absolutely adorable ♥
That’s such an amazing opportunity! Not only would I wanna practice my Japanese but it’d be super cool to talk face-to-face with a Japanese person to understand the nuances of the culture that you can’t really see on the outside
is it odd that i had the image of this pop into my head as one of those really cute Japanese style shot animes XD
Cdawgva had something like this happen to was pretty funny
@@dobber43 I just saw that video on trash taste lol
In the Philippines, people cross the streets whenever the hell they want. If you die, you die. It's survival of the fittest.
Meanwhile, in the more far off corner of Japan (Yamaguchi), I happened to come across a situation where a car stopped and signaled me to cross even when I was still about 10meters away from the crossing. Pretty sweet, but awkward. I ended up frantically bowing a few times while crossing. :D
"if you die, you die" as a Guatemalan I can relate to that mentality lmao
yessir nothing but facts(although when i did that, i almost got gran over, never doing it again)
Same in India
* If you die, you die* lol
Same in Indonesia. When I visited you got used to just crossing whenever your choice to. There is crosswalks and traffic lights, but it's not like drivers even paid attention or obeyed the rules of the road anyway, so even if you tried to cross following the rules, you would still end up being ran over. Also soon realised if you put your hand out extended whilst walking then bikes and cars slow down or swerve you, It's like having telekinesis lol

in Italy people cross the road completely random. If they have the red light they will pass anyway and scream at the car if it doesen't stop
oh you Italians
I’ve been living in Italy for 5 years, and my experience is the exact opposite. People hover by the edges of the road, terrified to cross because the cars WILL NOT stop. Not even when it’s the black and white lines (pedestrian right-of-way)

One of the most embarrassing memories I have is from my first time in Japan in 2008. We went into a restaurant, saw that the other customers had taken off their shoes beside their tables, and so we did the same. Except, instead of setting them down neatly, we just threw them into a pile. Another customer walked over, arranged our shoes into a row, then went back to her meal.
lmaooo
I bet that restaurant smelled of stinky feet.

Here in the USA the crosswalks are generally seen as a way to control heavy traffic for the benefit of pedestrians, rather than as a way to control pedestrians themselves. So, if the road is clear, cross.
Generally, it IS illegal to jaywalk; however you'll only see an officer stop someone for that if they literally ran right out in front of cars or if the officer had some other bone to pick with the person.
@EJ K if the drivers did that in my hometown they'd end up in prison.
Jaywalking isn't a thing anymore most U.S. states.
@@heyitsdarknessyouroldfrien3396
Jaywalking laws are still very common. Maybe there falling out of favor, but I don't know why they would.
@@Mayrego because it's a car centric country. Outside of large cities everyone drives.
@@whyaminotoriginal Yes, I know. I live here. That doesn't change my statement.
here in new orleans it's almost worse to wait to cross everyone jaywalks so frequently it's better to all break the rules together. organized disorder.
Hahaha! You made me laugh hard!! Let’s get disorganized:)
That's just generally true yep. It's kind of like when one person goes for a handshake and the other goes for a hug or high five. Or like diving at a 4 way intersection stop with no light/stopsign. If everyone is waiting for the other person to go, or if you're doing different things. You kind of just bump into each other and hold things up!
@しろカイル My UK mom grew up in east england 1960s. Order in schools. Courtesy in public. No cutting in lines. After she left, her family said a lot of customs changed as the country globalized & americanized (fastfood/music etc.). Can you describe a little more what you mean about 'tolerating rudeness'? Did your family grow up in England and have the same experience?
@しろカイル I also live in England. I have to cross a roundabout and a couple of other roads and we all just sprint across the road when there's a small gap between cars.
I’m living in New Orleans too😂
Chris Broad. One of the best CZcamsrs out there, and the best sales person for Japan that Japan never asked for. Even his channels name is great "Abroad in Japan". Figurative and literal in several ways.
I agree with you! I respect his work a lot! I was very impressed one of the videos about his early career in Japan that he explained his struggles, hardships. And he concluded his video with such a positive way and that made me cry! He is surly great CZcamsr!

Not a lie but it demonstrates how late they are and how desperately they're scrambling to get it all done.

I once did it without realizing it and my friend yelled out, “Usagi-chan!” when she saw me. When I realized I was so embarrassed

and, over here, some, elders are really rude, believing they are supposed to get what they want, not follow the rules....
Greetings from New Zealand! We had 2 Japanese students flatting with us in Auckland for 1 year, and they were lovely! Although we quickly learned that they are very reserved, and it was difficult to get them to open up and express what they were really thinking. I feel that when going abroad, Japanese people shouldn't worry about sharing their opinions and expressing themselves :)
The idea of not jaywalking is incredibly strange to me living in NYC. Like technically its illegal but literally everyone does it. Its not enforced in the slightest. Plenty of people don't even know there's a law against it because literally everyone jaywalks. Theres only about 300 jaywalking crime enforcements in NYC per year. You basically have to run straight into oncoming traffic and cause a car crash for it to be enforced.
I’ve jaywalked right behind a cop in nyc..
I thought jaywalking was a much bigger problem in America than UK
(don't remember source, but...yeah...is it because there are much larger fines *if* you get caught in the US???)
@@606aichan7O7 yes but not in big cities. I remember going to NYC for a school trip and being amazed by the amount of jay walking lol. Most people live in small towns / rural areas where there are hardly any pedestrians. I can’t drive so I’m always THAT person who always is walking on the side of the road, and in places where there’s no pedestrians they are hated. I’ve had people try to run me off the road just for laughs.
But jaywalking will def get you a fine in places like that. Most places don’t have crosswalks but if there is a crosswalk you should use it. I imagine places that are mostly pedestrians work much differently. Well, if you’re a white guy you probably won’t get a fine, but otherwise you probably will and they might illegally search you while they’re at it
It's the same in Chicago. If there are no cars, and sometimes even if there are, people will just cross. I've never worried about the law and I've never seen anyone get in trouble for it.
In NYC you almost feel shamed if you don’t jaywalk. People are constantly on the go, mainly I think to avoid interaction on the street. It’s like the old ancient proverb, “To avoid being eaten by bear, only need to run faster than slowest person.”
If I'm not mistaken, Chris got that award from UCAN for winning a foreigner Japanese language contest. He had to write and give a speech in Japanese in front of judges.
Jaywalking is illegal for safety in the US, but it's very common for people to cross if there aren't any cars.
But he's Hella negative. He should just move out of Japan lol
@@imtheonehero9305 I assume you replied to the wrong comment. Not sure what you said has to do with what I said a year ago.
Congrats Mrs Eats, you got featured on "Abroad on Japan"
I thought people were crazy while crossing road in France... But then I went to UK. It's worse, way worse. In Germany it's the contrary, it's very strict and you get the disapproving stare if you cross at red.
You might get driven over and called an idiot in South Africa
As someone who lives in the UK, it's just normal here... I'm not going to walk 100-200m down to where a zebra crossing is when I could just cross the road in front of me when there are no cars coming, the cars are so far away, or they're not going fast enough so I can just walk across no problem.
I imagine it has a lot to do with who has the right of way as well.
I'm from the UK and it's very rare for people to stop for you outside of London. In London it's almost preferred to walk infront of traffic and people will stop for you.
@@jamieturd If you do that in Italy you're going to get run over quickly
I live in an extremely rural area in america and on most roads there are no crosswalks. If you have to cross the road you either get in your car and drive across or run across when there is an opening.
Interesting! Your comment reminded me when I went to America last year. I did not see single crosswalk!
@@MrsEats Which part did you visit?
The different areas of America are *so* different, just like different parts of Canada or Japan. Practically like different countries!
With modern cellphones and smartphones, the best solution is to reject the call, then immediately send a text that explains you're on a train and will call back. Also loud ringtones are pretty disruptive. So if you need your phone keep on, set it to vibrate only. Also for the sake of everyone's sanity, if you want to play any video games while on a long train ride in Japan? Turn the sound off, or use headphones/earbuds!
Most phones now will allow you to reject the call with a text.
@@Dougiewoof that is funny because all of my phones since my Samsung Galaxy 3 have preset messages, or you can create custom ones, for just such a thing.
Why would you go through all that trouble when you could just answer your call talk at a reasonable volume and let every else get over their selves. It's ridiculous to be in a public place and be expected to not even answer your phone.
every time I use public transport in germany, there is at least one guy who is screaming into his phone
You mean a German "talking normally"?
@@unholydiver1095 then you've never heard a German screaming and shouting
@@jimmyschwarz9075 I have not. And I was kidding. Haven't been to Germany ever.
@@unholydiver1095 I guessed so xD
I dunno if it’s just my area but you regularly get these people on the train who _might_ just have it in the head but you’ve already sat down and don’t want to be the target of their aggression
Yes, In UK you just cross whenever you like, He's right :3
Greetings from the US. Especially in Detroit we just kinda do our thing.
Only time I remember seeing people waiting for the lights in the UK is when with children or if the police are nearby. Other than that it's a free for all. Cross when there's no cars, cross when not at a cross walk, cross if you think you can get to the other side without getting hit, cross when the light is going from amber to green for cars, cross when all cars are stopped at a junction etc. Basically, a case of "Do as I say, not what I do" and "No harm, no foul".
Agreed, Only time I cross on red is when traffic has stopped or there are no cars nearby approaching you. If you can cross without the motorists having to take any kind of sudden action then it’s generally ok.
@@Duskblade25 It wouldn't matter if the police were there, it isn't illegal here :)
I follow the rules when crossing the road but some young people don't really look nowadays.
Where I'm from (New York, USA), crossing the street on a red light is actually against the law, people do it anyway, because its not enforced by the police. I think it might be they have more important things to worry about rather than stopping people who cross the street like that. And also, because they don't enforce it, a lot of people probably don't even know its illegal.
Here in india crossing q road anytime is legal.
Where I live in Mexico "dunno about the whole country 'cause too big" the lights are only meant for the cars, like, if you run into the traffic then you'll get scolded because people don't want you dead, but if the street is clear, even if the cars have green you are allowed to cross, we don't even have traffic lights for people, the red for the cars are meant for allowing the cars in the perpendicular street in a intersection to pass, you just take the chance to cross along with them.
I was always told to never cross the street when the light was red and so I never have, but I imagine NYC is much busier than my little town.
@@Abhishek-sr2pu it's actually not legal but no one gives a fuck about traffic rules in India. Any of them actually...
Fun fact in Arizona. Its actually illegal to spit, in phoenix it used to be a tuberculosis colony in certain areas. Obviously the law isn't enforced, but its still on the books.
The garbage thing is interesting because where I'm from there are public trash bins everywhere and people still litter.
Right. The irony.
Because people are both selfish and lazy
Personal experience here. I was on a flight via ANA a few years ago. They served their original lime soda exclusive only to that airline and booooy had that been the best lime soda I have ever tasted. I was having a rough day that time and the drink was super refreshing. Not only that, but the entire customer service experience in itself made me forget that I was sitting in economy class.
So I wrote a short, written compliment to the FAs to thank them for everything (I don't speak Japanese and felt that a simple thank you was not enough) and I kid you not, they chased me down the arrival hall to personally thank me. It wasn't a tip that I gave them but I guess it's similiar? I now know why 😅
In my part of California, if the pedestrian light is red, no one goes because you'll probably get hit by a car, or cited by a cop if there's no traffic. But most streets just have a crosswalk and no signal light, so you're fine going as long as it's clear.
I live in OC and you're asking to get hit even crossing the street at all. lol
In Germany, there is a 5€ penalty for crossing the road on red and 10€ if anything bad happens because of you (on top of whatever consequences there'll be). The direct "area of influence" of traffic lights for pedestrians is generally five metres, so if you want to cross the road, make sure to keep your distance from traffic lights. This is, however, situational and governed by a complex set of rules. If there is "a lot of traffic", you're not allowed to cross the road withing 20 metres of a traffic light. There have been court cases, where minimum distances of 30 or 50 metres have been ruled, but courts have also ruled, that it is not acceptable to make a 100 metre detour to use a crossing with traffic lights.
Wow!! Germany has lots of rules too!
Is everyone carrying a meassuring tape or use modern instrument to get the correct distance ?
In Norway, the rules for crossing the road is simple:
- If you're not in the way of the cars
- If there's a zebra crossing without lights, you can cross.
- If there's a zebra crossing with a green light, you can cross, if it's blinking it strictly speaking not allowed to start crossing (but due to rule #1, you're kinda okay anyway), and if you've started crossing on green, you're always allowed to finish crossing. (Old people who may have bad legs are especially covered by this.)
Basically, it can look chaotic, but there are rules behind all of it.
You have Zebras in Norway 🇳🇴?🤔🤔🤪🤪🤪
Just kidding, I couldn’t resist.
In India if there's Cars coming at thousand miles/hr,no zebra crossing and no signal
Still cross
Let natural selection do it's job
😂😂😂. You made me laugh out loud!!! Love your comment ☺️

Instead of giving them money, you can say just, “Arigatou!” - Wish I could do that in the US 😂
Technically you can do this in the US too.
YOU FUCKING CAN. AND LITERALLY SHOULD SINCE IT IS NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY EMPLOYEES OF COMPANIES YOU DO NOT OWN, JESUS FKING XIST.
In india no one follows traffic rules such as that everyone just crosses roads whenever they want even before running cars .
Great to get more insight about this kinda thing! Cheers from New Zealand!

crossing during red in italy is very normal, it's not legally allowed but in the end a law like that is rarely enforced
I'm English and when I went to Rome, some Italian women told me to just step out and cars will stop, and it actually worked
I've seen Japanese in Osaka crossing the road on red. Mind you it was about 7am and traffic had not started to build up.
This channel is a hidden gem, glad I stumbled on it! Keep up with the great content
I am not sure if it is illegal in Japan, but, in the UK the pedestrian always has the right of way when it comes to traffic. There is not such thing as "jay walking", which is an American term that has no meaning in the UK anyway.
As far as I know, jaywalking is not illegal here. Police officer might warn you if you try to cross the road when it’s red. :)
same in australia but only at zebra crossing obviously, otherwise they need to wait for the green light
Here too in America in South Carolina pedestrians have the right away but driver's don't care they'll run you over! Me and my mom almost were run over several hundred times. They just keep driving and don't stop even if you're about to walk up to a grocery store! They zoom by heading towards you almost hitting you! We get out of the way in time tho.
@@LovelessLoveless-chan blame your driver's education and DMV or DOT. Pedestrians have right of way at cross walks in most of America but almost no one knows it.
And in part it's because pedestrians do yield to car traffic. If you see people always waiting and you've never been taught otherwise you would assume that's the rule. Most people don't know "stop for pedestrians" most people do know "look both ways before you cross the street."
There's alot of that in America. My city has put signs across any unlit crosswalk explaining the rule. When that didn't work they put bigger brighter signs and highlighted the crosswalk in bright green or yellow.
And that is actually working. Alot of people genuinely do not know better.
@@LovelessLoveless-chan you should really read title 56 chapter 5 of South Carolina's traffic laws where it expressly states that anywhere except designated crosswalks pedestrians must yield right-of-way to Motor Vehicles.
This is so interesting. I have watched a lot of his videos but it's something entirely different to have an actual Japanese person talk about it too!
Also I have to say you seem to be a very nice person and the video was entertaining, I'll definitely watch more of your stuff 😊
Thank you so much for your warm comment! I do enjoy Chris’s videos too! Please take care!
Yes, Chris's videos are very funny, been subscribed to him for over a year now!! But, also being English myself, he has a very dry self humiliating English sense of humour that people of other nationalities might initially struggle to understand: stick with it/him, he is very funny once you get the hang of it!!! @Mrs. Eats, I've subscribed to you, too!!! REally enjoyed this and another one I watched earlier, re Paolo from Tokyo
Here in Alaska I heard of kids playing games by running in and out of traffic. My school had to give an announcement and call to the homes telling people not to do it. I thought it was common sense not to, but I guess not.
In New York it’s looked down on to wait to cross the road if no one is coming. So you have to be hyper aware of your ability to cross the road based on your own knowledge of your speed and if anyone is there. But it’s also looked down on to inconvenience a driver by making them stop short, but also some people will cross regardless because they have truly stopped caring about anything. 🤣
As a very shy person with social anxiety my life would be so much easier if people didn't yell on their phones or argue in public here in America. I get self-conscious just thinking about answering my phone on a bus or train. I usually let it go to voice-mail and just text instead. Same for watching videos or listening to music on your phone in public. It's one of my pet peeves from my boyfriend who will watch youtube on his phone while waiting in a doctor's waiting room without ear Buds and I'll have to remind him to turn the volume down or use earbuds. It can be embarrassing especially when there's only a few people there and normally quiet. 😳
Hard agree. Japan sometimes seems like heaven for introverts.
In Germany we also don't cross the road on red except for Berlin. But anywhere else you'll get stared at I think. Maby in Hamburg.
Walking while eating is the best thing that you can do if you live in a fast paced city (NYC, Tokyo, etc).
i just found your channel yesterday and for some reason i can't stop watching its amazing
Love your energy. I can’t wait for more.
I tend to eat or drink while walking, you see alot of people doing that in Canada because we just dont care. eating in a public bus or trains is rude though. Canadians also change our shoes when we enter houses. I cross less busy streets like neighborhood roads when there is a corner, I will use crosswalks when I need to, but I will not use them if it not needed.
In Poland we are like japanese in regards to traffic lights. If it's red You do not walk. And we get same reaction from foreigners.
I love her videos. They always make me smile.
Thank you for this video :) I plan to visit Japan in a few years time. This has been very helpful.
It is great to know these taboo in Japan before I move to Japan for my study.

In Oslo, Norway where I live. Almost everybody cross the road anytime they want. Don´t care about the red light if there's no cars
I enjoy these videos because it helps me verify what’s true in the videos I’ve watched to prepare for a trip to Japan one day, I’d really like to, but it will be a while.
17:01 In Germany it's illegal to jaywalk. Funnily enough it is perfectly legal to cross the road a few meters next to the traffic lights since you aren't crossing a red light if you're not actually using the crosswalk :D
I can barely stand Spring here in Australia with my mild heyfeaver. Let alone if I go to Japan. 😂
Thank you for your comment! Oh no you have heyfever too?! You should bring allergy medication before coming to Japan in spring!
Be careful, tho'. You need a prescription and the paperwork for antihistamines.
Are you saying it's even worse in Japan?! Oh gods, this year has been one of the worst in memory in Victoria - my *horse* has developed pollen and grass allergies because of the sheer amount of growth (yeah, a herbivore with grass allergies... I have my vet on speed dial). 😭
@@michaelhoffmann2891 It's usually something local where you grew up that you'll be allergic to. You probably won't get it if you go to a place with different plants.
@@MajorMalfunction My general experience is the exact opposite: we only moved here about 8 years ago. So the plants here give me trouble (this year is extreme with the post drought growth). Whereas things I grew up with - animals for example, which I've always lived with - I have (fortunately) no issue with.
i love that chopsticks on rice reaction in the beginning.
why do some people roll their chopsticks like that? whats the purpose? IDK...
Here in Sri Lanka, We cross the road while vehicles passing by at 70, 80kmph. Timing and split second understanding between motorist and pedestrian is key. Now it's changing little by little.
Business cards: if the cards are exchanged at the beginning of a meeting, you are supposed to put them on the table, neatly ordered by importance and all visible, not stacked. You put them in the business card holder at the end of the meeting. At least, that's what I have seen and mimicked.
In my country we loooove jaywalking and surprisingly, accidents are not common
The worst is the diagonal cross walks when people jaywalk like near Pike Place in Seattle lol.
I absolutely love Mrs. Eats personality. So welcoming and bubbly.😊
I enjoy the variety of content! Thubs way up!
CZcams recommend this video to me in Pakistan. I don't even watch reaction videos but this is good stuff. Keep up the good work
And yes people cross the roads, highways whenever they want. We don't have pedestrian signals
"Watashi no meishi desu." is one of the few Japanese phrases I remember.
Awesome vid :) and I really love that Yukimura Sanada Kabuto on your shelf :)
the tipping thing surprised me in the uk tipping is polite and nice thing to do as well as shaking hands especially
In the UK we have a lot if crossings but they're never in convenient locations, and some roads just don't have any, so pedestrians just cross whenever they have the opportunity, it's hardly dangerous though because experienced pedestrians know exactly how long it takes for them to cross the road, and unless the car speeds up for whatever reason they get across fine
when it comes to the UK most of the roads I know don't have a person crossing light, as a kid I used to find them weird when I saw them
and like 1/10 of them are probably broken anyway
on the bigger roads I don't even trust the drivers sometimes and wait for the cars to show signs of slowing down before I walk, (not that a driver has ever done that in my experience)
and other times I just sprint across when I see a car 20 metres away and think I can make it
Great video, enjoyed your review. Refreshing, keep up the videos.
This is good. He gets the customs correct-mostly. You fill in the thought processes, which are quite helpful.
I love that Sanada Yukimura helmet.
Well here in Germany it was that way, too. The reason was not cleanliness, it was more like it was seen as unhealthy to eat while your body is doing something else. Bigger construction sites and places like logging camps had dedicated eating areas, a bit off the actual site, because people might be tempted to work while eating. "Bad Omens" was also a thing. People also stayed at the table longer and talked so the body was able to "digest". Also was regarded as social to not run away while people were still in "chill mode".
Great video! I had watched the video before, and found it very interesting.
I love your channel and I'm so happy I found it! Btw you are so pretty
In South Africa people cross the road in the middle of rush hour traffic always making sure to maintain eye contact with everyone who may potentially hit them. That and the Mini bus taxis...
Uhhh yes as a fellow South African I’ve seen a lot of road rage bc of that
@@mischievousjjay8321 it is a reoccurring theme round these parts.
Hope you guys are staying safe during the riots.
@@meisteremm Personally I was far enough away the riots didn't quite reach us and died down before they got close to us. Though now there are issues with people getting food in some areas and having to come into my area for food.
Oh yeah, in America, at least where I'm from, we also just cross the road if there's traffic, but that's only in certain areas. I know I'll only cross the road when the light is still red if I know that there usually aren't that many cars in that area, but, if I'm unfamiliar with the area, I'll wait for the light.
The best english ive ever heard from a japanese person.Not only that, her videos are super enjoyable too!
Hello! I'm so happy to have discovered your channel. 😄
Keep up the good work 💪🏻❤️
This is a great video, thank you. One thing I would say is that sometimes you will be corrected if you make a mistake, and it's often by older people. When this happens their English is usually not perfect, so it seems like they are telling you off, but in reality they are just trying to help you out, so don't take it personally.👍
i am allergic to interesting people . they make me subscribe the channel . and sometimes even provoke me to hit the bell
I found so wholesome how even when im from an small town in north argentina I can relate so much to this british pal, I do all that shit he does
France also has rules.
Hands on the table if at a restaurant. Always have bread on the table, and a few more.
i saw a older guy in a rural area eating potato chips next to a shrine once .
I thought to myself : this must be a shrine spirit ! and the chips must be his offering xDDD
I know I'm very late for this video but
Seeing these videos only make me more and more sure that Japan is the best place to live on Earth
Being a Brazilian and used to disorder, I find the fact of waiting for the green light even in spite of the absence of traffic extremely satisfying. Not to mention taking your shoes off, the extreme politeness, etc etc... AND EVERYTHING IS SO CUTE
I wish I could move there :(
Adoro como os brasileiros sempre dão beijos a todos....i feel so beloved....rs. U dont have that in Japão
Thanks for this video! laughed a lot :)
Just found this channel love this just subbed
yep in the US people do cross if there is no cars even on a red. I don't however.
Its bc u dont walk much...
Even if I see a car coming if the light is red if they're far enough away I try to dash across the street
Yeah jaywalking is pretty common in the US. I don't do it much anymore because my fiance doesn't like to, but before I met him I'd basically cross any time I figured I had a reasonable chance of not dying/screwing up a driver's day
Just watched all your videos. Love your channel 😊
Love your presentation Mrs Eats!
I'll cross if there is no traffic, and sometimes I'll cross one lane and wait for a car to pass before crossing the rest of the way.
USA here: I only jaywalk if it's 1 lane on both sides. Anymore than that and I'm just waiting for the light so i dont get hit.
First time viewing your content. You have a killer smile.
I actully found your videos from watching Abroad in Japan =) We have come full circle.
I always just say "un"/うん instead of "ya-h" which is like saying yes in vietnamese...
True
Japan (no traffic): Don't cross road, it's in red 😡
Mexico (not a chance to cross): He's gotta stop, right?
That camión isn’t stopping 😂
This is the first video I’ve found of this woman and I absolutely adore her. She is so cute and kind and is always smiling! She looks like someone that would always be giving off positive vibes, I just want to hang out with her!
This was wonderful thank you \m/
