I think public trashcans in Tokyo were mostly removed because of the gas attacks in 1995. Maybe that's why Osaka covers theirs when there's big crowds of tourists?

I think that 90% of Japanese international couples youtubers (with non-asian foreign women) are with men from Kansai region. Do you think the directness of Kansai culture has something to do with it? Or are Kansai men are more attracted to non-asian women or vice-versa?

@franklinthewoman 4 жыл бұрын

That’s a good question!! I have a few friends in Tokyo who are married to or are dating men from the kanto area but I think almost all of them have lived abroad or traveled a lot. But other friends have told me that they like Kansai guys because they’re more direct and laidback! My husband doesn’t take things so seriously and he’s pretty open- minded for the most part

I am Japanese on Tokyo side and what I find interesting is that people in Osaka brag about having shopped cheaply. In Tokyo, they talk about expensive purchases.

Love this video, and happy you found a partner from Osaka! Too many white guys with Japanese girls in Tokyo lol. Totally gonna use this as a reference about living in Osaka. I lived in Tokyo for 7+ years. Starting to get tired of the cold Tokyoites, distancing of people and the uptightness of locals and foreigners here.

Tokyo is basically for the first timers and nothing more. Yes tokyo is huge but no much to lool at. that is why tokyo-related videos focus on team labo Shibuya scramble etc. Tokyo is a place for business not for a dat trip. Ask local Japanese that is what it is.

I think it’s about the same as Tokyo! The train announcements are in English and so are many signs. In more touristy areas like Umeda or Shinsaibashi staff are more prepared to use English. Kyoto is very English-friendly as well!

I've been living in Tokyo for 3.5 years and I'm tired, people are boring and robots. Workaholics, always busy. You don't make long term friends at all. People use you to show off or to practice their english (i don't mind at all about the practice thing). Tokyo people only have eyes for US men, nothing else to say, facts!!!!!!! Your first year in Tokyo will be amazing, but after that it become boring easy and so fast. Hopefully I move to Osaka this year of 2023.

Did you find it easier to make Japanese speaking Japanese friends in Osaka or Tokyo? I live in Osaka now and nothing seems to pass casual... my partner (from Nagano) wants to move to Tokyo for that reason.

@franklinthewoman 3 жыл бұрын

You make a very good point! This year I haven’t been actively trying to make too many friends for obvious pandemic reasons lol but in the first few months I was in Osaka I talked to a lot of people, maybe exchanged line info and hung out once or twice but it didn’t turn into a lasting friendship. So it’s hard to say! I experienced that in Tokyo too but I also have a couple really close Japanese friends that I made there.

For only having visited Tokyo 2 is a lot! 👏🏻 In my experience more people talked to me in Tokyo when I was visiting, maybe visitors have a less jaded look about them haha, or when people were drinking!

@@franklinthewoman not gonna lie, when one cuts all their hair off, or moves, or purges collected junk in your closets, you aren't just cutting hair, or packing boxes and sleeping someplace different, or throwing things away, there's a lot of introspection and emotional baggage that goes with it, for whatever reason. I still enjoy the catharsis of purging and finding more meaningful things to keep around me.
