Hello everyone! Today we're talking about amazing things that America has that Japan NEEDS! You might think America doesn't have so many cool things like Japan, but you're wrong!! There are so many useful things and concepts that I wish we could have in Japan! For example, in America, you often have furnished apartments! I was surprised to see that many apartments come with a refrigerator or a stove. In Japan, we don't have anything like that! Also, in America, you have central AC everywhere! That's so nice! You can feel cool or warm no matter where in the building you are! But in Japan, there is only heating or cooling in one room in the house! You might feel like you are trapped to stay in only one room when it's a very cold day for example! There are many other things that I think America has, so let's learn all about it today!

One of my favorites from Japan (and some parts of Europe, too): when you flush the toilet, on some toilets the water fills the back of the toilet in a little hand-washing station. So you use the clean water to wash your hands as it fills the toilet, and you don't waste water washing your hands. This should be everywhere, especially as clean water becomes more scarce in the decades to come.

Speaking of free food at restaurants, I've been to Red Lobster once in my life and I got the impression that they were trying to kill my family and I with their biscuits. Every time we'd eat the last one, the waitress would be lurking around the corner with a fresh basket in hand. We must've eaten three or four baskets of those things. Plus, after we paid the bill, when the waitress came back with the receipt she also brought a doggie bag full of biscuits. Normally at diners and such they'd bring free bread out, but they'd usually stop once your meal was put on the table. Red Lobster wanted to make sure every nook and cranny in your stomach was filled with biscuits apparently.

I get what you are saying about furnished apartments, but we actually call those unfurnished apartments. Furnished apartments here come with couches, beds, TVs, tables, and everything you would find in a hotel room. Also, not all apartments come with washing machines. Those are often in a separate common area with all the neighbors.

@artificemdeomnibus9059 2 жыл бұрын

China uses the same terminology as Japan here, where "furnished" is hat we would consider "finished construction" An "unfurnished" apt. in China is literally just a concrete box. A "furnished" one has floors, painted (well, plastered) walls, etc. Though you can also find ACTUAL furnished apt's with furniture, especially if they are catering to foreigners.

@shawnrhode 2 жыл бұрын

This must be something that is lost in translation. The Japanese (or Chinese) that gets translated to “furnished” must mean something different. The word “furnish” in the English language means “provide (a house or room) with furniture and fittings.” In English, furniture are things like chairs, sofas, beds, tables, and so in. Fittings are things like lights, faucets for sinks, and so on. Appliances are a separate category and are almost always included in apartments unless stated otherwise. Most houses that are sold will include appliances as well but it is usually stated on the listing.

@jollyexotic 2 жыл бұрын

@@OllamhDrab It's more to do with the fact that in Japan you have to separate all of your garbage. Burnable, non-burnable, glass, and plastic recycling, those are separated. They're also picked up on different days. So instead of having individual trash cans, or dumpsters for residential pick-up, trash and recycling are placed in a designated alcove for pick-up. What you put there, also has to be sorted, so that you have put the correct trash for that day's collection. As a result mechanical collection really isn't an option.

@jackielinde7568 2 жыл бұрын

Mrs. Eats - While the "robot arm" does improve safety of the garbage trucks, there are other reasons those trucks were bought. First is that, with the garbage cans, it reduces the time a truck takes to collect the garbage, so you need less trucks. Second, it requires only the driver to operate the arm, so you need less people in the truck. Less trucks with less people means more money saved. I suspect the dollars instead of employee safety was the driving factor in companies like Waste Management using them. Mind you, they'll still tout the employee safety angle.

@namenotfound8747 2 жыл бұрын

@grondhero 2 жыл бұрын

Your concept of "dollars instead of employee" is a misunderstanding of history and business. Every business is looking for ways to save money. Technology advances by design end up changing jobs. You will have less need for an unskilled laborer, but acquire a need for a skilled laborer. You can pay 10 - 20 people to dig a ditch, or you can pay one person to operate a ditch digger and pay another to maintain it, possibly a third for any tech needs. Most companies don't lay off people when they've acquired new technology, they simply don't hire additional people in that area and let the current employees work until they find something better. For example, the company I work for finally included the self-check out machines (eight of them). This allows more people to check out quickly and only requires two employees to observe & assist (and catch/prevent the occasional thief - "What? How did that fall into my purse? I don't know how that got in there. Must have fallen off the shelf").

There's something better than central AC, it's called a Zoned AC system. It allows you to control the temperature in each room or section of the house separately and uses much less energy than central AC. When you rent an apartment in the US you'll most likely have to pay first and last month's rent plus a security deposit. But when you move out you get the security deposit back minus any charges for damage or cleaning. In San Francisco, the landlord must place your security deposit into an interest drawing account, so when you move out you may actually get more money.

I haven't hear too much about other countries having free refills. When I used to work fast food, the manager and I figured out how much you would have to drink to "break even". Between the cost of the cup, the syrup, carbonation, and water you would have to drink 7.5L of soda to cost the restaurant the same amount of money that you spent. Many places do have a time limit so you don't just sit there on free refills all day, but the restaurant still has a lot of profit off of your drinks. It didn't matter how big your cup was, the amount of soda you had to drink was the same.

When you said "furnished" I was like, oh yeah being able to rent a place that already is fully furnished with table, chairs, etc is a thing here in the US and it does see seem like a weird thing that would only happen here. I didn't think you meant furnished = appliances! That tends to be a regional thing I believe; for example, in NYC it would be very very strange for an apartment to not come with a refrigerator already. But in LA it is somewhat uncommon for apartments to come with refrigerators but they will always furnish stoves. 50% of the apartments I have rented in LA, I've had to buy a refrigerator for, and then the next place I rent had one so I then had to sell my Fridge... as a result there's a pretty robust resell market for fridges here. My last landlord didn't even remember that they had bought and furnished the Fridge - they actually thought it was ours because they almost never put fridges in apartments. I almost wish we had the option to buy lights because the lights Landlords tend to install are REALLY ugly (colloquially known as "boob lights" because reasons) and if they're new LED lights, they're not compatible with things like smart light bulbs.

When the bus stops at a house, there’s a foldable stop sign on the left side that forces the lane on the left of the bus to stop completely so kids can get off the bus safely. It’s really nice that parents don’t have to drive kids there and back from school (unless none of the busses drive by their house).

in the US, most places outside of the big cities have little to no public transportation options, and even if they do, it's not too convenient. you NEED a car to actually go anywhere. the nearest grocery store to my house (I live in kansas) is 2 miles away. now imagine walking home with milk at the height of summer, it gets pretty hot here. and I live in the suburbs, I can't imagine what it's like other places that have it worse. KC just got a rail bus a couple years ago, and people flocked from all over to see it! a rail bus! and it doesn't even have that big a range! the state of public transit is so sad here this is why rideshare companies have such success (and why they can get away with not caring about their employees), they basically own the marketplace here. I wish we had a high speed rail public transport like in japan (or even just an underground like in Britain). it would help so many people

The bank drive through have been around a very long time. At least since I was a kid. So more than 50 years at least. Drive through pharmacies are more recent, maybe the past 20 years. And although free refills have been a thing for a long time, you used to have to go to the counter and ask for it. It's more recent that they let the customers use the drink machines themselves

At the same time, in the US, central AC can cause so much drama between spouses, roommates, and families 😹. My roommate was from the North so she would constantly have the AC way too cold for the 3 of us remaining roommates. She liked a setting of 68°F or even 65°F! She’d just tell us to “bundle up” but being in the south, we were used to a setting of 72-75°F. It also was very expensive to keep it that low here. It got to the point where she even TAPED OVER THE BUTTONS With big red tape. You’ll see that from time to time in many American houses where the AC is tapped or boxed or even set so you need a code to change it, because there’s so much drama around it haha. Hotels in hotter areas tend to LOVE using central AC as a way to keep their building hotter or colder if they’re in a cold area to save money. Often cheap hotels do not let their customers set their AC’s to above or below a certain temperature or let them adjust it at all. For the prime reason of my roommate- people from different areas like different temperatures that can cost the hotels a lot of money.

Many of them are far too blue and it gives an intense, cold look when used alone. Japanese folks are AMAZING with lights outside (riding a bike through a residential neighborhood with all its warm, low lights is magical) but many indoor spaces are too brightly lit, possibly because of how often people use these cheap light fixtures.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. I feel the US gets a lot of (deserved) flack from abroad. But as an average person, I am happy about convenient things that we do that it seems Japan does not. Another thing is that you can sign up for a bank account online. I don't get the feeling that is a "Thing" in Japan. Our ATMs never shut down unless they are out of cash. I'm glad that refills and other free things are worked into the price of the food/service. However, I dislike our tipping culture. I would be very unhappy to be charged for something I didn't order so Tsukidashi culture would make me upset. The A/C system of Japan scares me. I'm from the 🏜 of Arizona. A/C will freeze you to the bone there. However, my Japanese teacher from 15 years ago posed a question. Would you rather live in the heat or snow? Her answer? The snow because you can always put on more layers. So if I ever live in Japan I'll probably pick a northern prefecture.

Our city garbage trucks don't have arms! Instead, we have sanitation workers who ride on the back of the truck, and when the driver stops in front of a house, they jump off the truck and empty the garbage cans into the back of the truck. Also, totally forgot to mention: those big Coke refill machines are made by Ferrari! Yes, the same as the car! The outside panel opens up at the bottom, and for each flavor in the machine, you have a thin, rectangular carton which contains a syrup mixture. Old style soda fountains used to have BIBs (bag in a box) which had the syrup mixture and a few other ingredients whereas the new style cartons keeps the ingredients separate for a fresher tasting drink. I used to be a movie theatre manager, so I'm very versed in food inventory, preparation, and service. :D

I live in North Florida. Back when I was still single I would rent an apartment. I rented several over the years. They all were "unfurnished" but had air conditioning/heating, a ceiling mounted light in every room (no lamps), the kitchens all had a stove/oven, and dishwasher. The living rooms and bedrooms all had wall-to-wall carpeting. Only one had a set of clothes washer/dryers. All of the others had an on site laundry mat. When my wife and I bought our house the carpeting had just been replaced. The kitchen had brand new appliances, which was part of our deal with the seller. You'd better believe it had central air. We do live in Florida after all. The kitchen and bathrooms all came with ceiling mounted lights (also lights above the mirror). The garage and store room all have ceiling mounted lights as well. The living room, dining room, laundry room, and bedrooms all already had ceiling fans w/lights. We moved in 28 years ago and are still here.

We also have drive through bill payment in some areas for things like utilities. Central air is great, if your house is built for it, but for the currently preferred "open floor plans" or rooms with vaulted ceilings, it usually means wide variations in temperature throughout your home. True, you'll probably not find one room a sauna and another a freezer, but you might need a sweater in one room and a fan in another. I think central AC is one reason ceiling fans are so popular here. Then again, maybe I've never lived in a properly insulated home lol. It's common at Mexican restaurants to be given free chips and salsa, some Italian restaurants give free breadsticks, and some American style places do free bread or rolls. Refills on these are not always free. Side note: we ate at Chili's so often when I was pregnant that the servers knew our order would include the skillet queso, so they would automatically bring us chips and salsa. It wasn't until after I gave birth that I found out they weren't complimentary, when I complained to manager that we didn't get them lol.

Ah pneumatic tubes (sometimes called vacuum tubes). Banks have been using them for since at least the 1990s (some maybe even longer) which is is likely why the machines look really old today. That old system is slowly getting replaced by better ATMs that do more than what can be done with the old tube system. Many banks now have specialized ATMs called ITMs where you can talk to a bank teller on a screen at the ATM and do any transactions with them through the machine that you can do a teller window inside the bank itself. This new system is replacing the old pneumatic tube system at the drive-thru at many banks.

Poland here. So about differences and similarities between US,JP and PL: -the only drive thru there is here is at fast food chain restaurants -our rental apartments mostly come with furnitures and people almost always inform in the advertisment what will you find inside of your apartment, also there are pictures so you can see that place without driving to another city etc [normal thing worldwide I guess] -depending if you live in apartment or a house there is one big trash can for fixed amount of blocks [for example currently my communal waste trash can "section" serves 4 blocks, total of 120 apartments or slightly less] while people who live in house have 1-2 big trash cans just for 1 property. Now, Poland segragates a lot so at least for blocks we have dry waste [for example bags that contain food, such as chips etc] ,wet waste [leftovers or hygenic waste such as cotton swabs], plastics,paper,glass,ceramics [chinaware and glasses,mugs etc] and organic waste [soil if you have a veggie garden/herbs garden in the balcony area or just plants] segregation. Depending on your city there might be a schedule for trucks to come and collect at the specific hour waste you put in the bins or it just happens overnight each 2-3 days for example. In blocks it happens [in case of my city, 60k population] 1x/week and since there is this big segregation system, not always all cans are empty on the same day/time. -AC is slowly getting more popular, most of the offices,shopping centres and other places like those already have AC, I think it's more common in newer buildings and not really in old buildings but nowadays if a new building has some company inside, beacuse it's like just for business or business downstairs and apartments above at least business part has AC. -free refills happen only in specific fast-food places, mostly the same chain has it but it almost doesnt happen in small,local places -in Poland due to regulations each enterprise [bar,cinema,laundry,translation office etc] has to provide to their customers possibility of paying via credit card,there are some exceptions mentioned in TAX regulations -usually in Poland when you are given some food before ordering or getting what you ordered is free, it's sort of a "welcome gift" and mostly it's just a bite-size portion of few goodies.

Swedish here. An apartment comes standard with a stove and a fridge in the kitchen, and mostly with a freezer too. If it is a small kitchen then you will probably find a combination fridge/freezer. Ceiling lights in the kitchen and bathroom, the rest you must get yourself. Dishwasher and washing machine, probably not. It depends on how new the house is, older houses have a common room with washing machines and either dryers or a drying room. Where I am living now you reserve those for three hours at a time through an electronic booking system. Most fast food restaurants (and IKEA) have free refills on drinks. Serving fees (tips) and taxes are always included in the price, and no-one can charge you for something you did not order. Sweden is going almost entirely cashless. I have not bought anything with cash for years, even small shops accept cards or you pay with a smartphone app. Heck, even the parking meters accept cards or phone payment! Air conditioning is not a big thing, though central heating is. If you look at a map we are about the same latitude as Kamchatka or Alaska. If the temperature in your apartment hits 28 ºC you can demand your landlord does something about it. (I would be melting by then.
