It's so refreshing to hear genuine negatives about Japan without the 'Oh well, that's just the way it is here ♡' disclaimer. So many people forget that having a negative opinion about a few things doesn't mean you think the whole country and culture is trash 🙄 Good on you for telling it like it is, especially when it comes to a country like Japan that does indeed have wonderful aspects but it is also incredibly romanticised online

@@lordi2009k I think when they talk about display they mean in your home? Bc you don’t have to display them. At the wedding everything is wrapped or I’m bags on the table so no one knows what someone got you. There’s no time to open the gifts at the wedding either. But if your in laws or mom comes over to your house after the wedding and finds out you’re not using that blender or toaster they so lovingly bought you, you know you’re going to hear about it.

I knew about the tattoo thing before I went to Japan, so I knew I couldn't go into certain places... but I still got caught out by it. I wore a singlet shirt to my hotel's gym for a workout (as you do) and got asked to change into a shirt that covers it. I don't begrudge it (i.e. not my place to tell other cultures how to live, so in their country I play by their rules), but you can't help but find it a little frustrating considering I'm Pacific Islander and it's legitimately cultural for us to have tattoos (i.e. the word literally comes from our languages).

@@VideoGameJams what? Lmao giving a gift to someone’s wedding is just like giving someone a present for their birthday, it’s not weird at all. Sure they’re getting a celebration already but a lot of the time weddings are so expensive too and it’s the couple that has to pay, it’s not like they’re getting it for free? What do you mean
@grozmeistere7504 3 жыл бұрын
I think it's okay to give money for a wedding but the outrageous thing is the custom of having a set amount. You just can't except everybody to just have enough money to give to others. 30,000 Yen might be peaunuts to some but for others it's money they need to live. You can buy beautiful and usefull presents for way cheaper. Like, let them gift you a 30,000 Yen, 10,000 Yen or a nice red toaster for your red colour-schemed kitchen.
@sorinaandrada5755 3 жыл бұрын
Lol i just said it’s a custom, if you don’t want to give money/gifts, you don’t have to. I wouldn’t feel comfortable receiving money at my wedding doesn’t matter if it’s 5 or 1000 dollars. I think it’s just a time to come together and celebrate not to put pressure on ur guests to give u money or expensive gifts, I’d much rather just have the memories.

lol I've always kinda wished we did that whole "bowing thing" in the states. I've always hated being expected to touch other ppl when I first meet them. I tend to say things like "I don't do that" while throwing up my hands in protest or even lie and say things like "I'm a germophobe" if they pitch a fit about it due to the dreaded entitlement most ppl have here. The history of "shaking hands" doesn't even apply anymore, even in the south, so it's just a gross and pointless custom.

Especially if they are running a business. If you have an apartment building, the floors will be numbered like these: 1, 2, 3, 3A, 5 and so on. For their car plate number, they'd rather pay thousands to have customized number than having the number 4 in it. While number 8 is considered to bring in wealth. I respect their custom and enjoy their new year festivals a lot. Just find it a bit weird about the numbers.

One of the things stopping me from moving to japan (I don't want to move there because of anime, I genuinely love the country, the food, the culture) is the whole tattoo yakuza thing. I've grown up around tattoos, my godfather is a tattoo artist and I had an apprenticeship with him in Scotland. I have two tattoos of my own (a small explosion behind my ear and a snake by my right ring finger). I'm planning on getting more, like the silhouette of a dragon on my back and the 00:00:00 from Unus Annus. Unless this rule (is that the right word, idk) is abolished in bathhouses etc or at the very least, us foreigners are exempt, I don't think I can move there.

I'm Josiah nah a lot of things about normal japan that you can’t learn about in anime are boring and this is someone who lived there for years. outside of the good parts like some of the respect culture, serving tea to guests, connection to nature and healthy traditional diets, average japanese people don’t think for themselves and are highly susceptible to propaganda and groupthink. japanese TV is either very boring, very over the top and exaggerated to the point of being corny, or just a reflection of dated expectations and cultural biases. anime and manga and otaku shit tend to be one of the few areas of japanese culture that throw all the BS to the side and just gets creative and playful. i don’t blame anyone who focuses most of their attention on that part of the culture as long as they don’t hurt anyone.

In personal experience, when I visited japan on a college trip, we stayed at a hotel that had an onsen in Sendai and they were very accommodating to us with tattoos. Basically they asked that we go later at night or earlier in the morning during off hours and we could stay as long as no one complained. Ended up working out great and the two Japanese ladies we met when we were in the onsen were very nice to us, regardless of tattoos.

Damn, almost 300 bucks just to attend the wedding? What are you paying for? Their divorce fee? XD

Considering their current marriage & birth rates, I don't think that's what you're paying them for

Its normal for asian wedding. I am chinese, and its very normal to giv that much even only 1 person is attending the wedding. It depends on how close you are to the bride and groom will depend on how much u give.

China is the same, but it's technically not a rule...you just get shunned by Everyone. And even if you don't attend, you have to send money. Btw, the amount isn't specified, but a few thousand dollars is usually expected.

In Malaysia, Chinese are also "afraid" of number 4. But the floors on the elevator don't just skip the number 4 but. It instead goes : > 5 > 3a > 3 > 2 > 1

If you working in hospitality industry, that's totally a nightmare when some old people come in.

Same here in the PH, we know some building or business is owned by a chinese or someone with a chinese descent when they it doesn't have a 4th floor or on some occasions, 4th and 13th floors.

Same, the apartment my grandma lives in even skipped the 14th floor and replaced with 13A instead

I lived in many apartments when I was in Malaysia. I got used to it after a while. Although, I have noticed that not all buildings do that even if they are primarily developed by Chinese. 😁

We have the 13 thing in England but it's really only with house numbers, I've lived in three places with no number 13 house. People just wouldn't buy the thirteenth house.

Gotta say I personally love the wedding money thing, so much more convenient than buying a gift. A physical thing is less convenient to carry around as well. ALSO some of that money goes to pay the wedding event itself.

Yo just had your channel pop up in my recommends Animeman. Gotta say you’re pretty damn funny and entertaining and the editing is pretty good too. Wouldn’t guess that you were half Japanese but I appreciate your insight into the Japanese culture bc you seem very knowledgeable. You got a new sub today sir. Keep up the good work. Aloha from Cali 🤙🏽 Ps: anybody ever tell you that you look like Pedro Pascal? 😂
