Lol, there's a reason I did everything I could to move back to Japan from Canada after being back in Canada for 2 years. (I was also a security gaurd who watched Netflix all day in Canada LMAO) So happy to be back in Japan.

Great video, just randomly popped up on my feed & it was really interesting hearing about your perspective on culture shock as it is quite unique. Keep up the great work, I'll definitively check out the channel!

Awesome thanks job ozzy

Feels so sad to learn you left Japan. Your videos always made me happy because you always speak authentically and honestly about life and your feelings. Keep it real, Ozzy!

Interesting! Nice video. Thank you for sharing it. ✌️

Oh man, that outro is hilarious. But yes, you've definitely been spoiled in Japan for service and prices.

Unfortunately, things have changed a lot even for those of us staying in the same place, over the last few years. (I'm in California.) But the pandemic definitely accelerated a lot of it. I have friends in Toronto, and they say there has been less change there than in the States.

Many excellent points in this video. I agree with a lot. Prices have gone way up but it really has been non stop increase in pricing for over a decade and prices for housing etc. went up at an even faster pace during covid. I think many of your points have been there but greatly increased during covid. So the seeing people with mental issues increase. It had already increased with reduction of funding for mental health and a lot of people who used to get help and had places to go, no longer had those places and were out in the streets more. But also during covid I think the number of people with mental problems greatly increased and you see it EVERYWHERE you go now. From the subway trains to where ever you go in the city. It is in your face. I would say there were certain areas in the past where you know you would see it more but now it is all over. As for the reduction in service, again, so many people laid off and treated poorly during covid so many businesses lost good workers and at this point just getting a staff back is hard enough. Like you said, many people don't really want to be there, many people feel zero loyalty so they will quit in a heartbeat if they are not happy with their job, and also because everyone is looking for workers it is easy to jump from one job to another these days. So as soon as a better job comes, see you later! And imagine a work force where everyone is starting over, meaning re-training of staff, lack of experience, and the fear of putting in the work and losing the worker, it all plays a part. It really is some nutty times here. I think in Japan people didn't lose their jobs in a similar way as I believe most places remained open, so the structure remained in place better. Great video topic, I enjoyed! Cheers! :)

Do you still have that pig puppet from your old videos? One of my favorite characters of yours.

Yayee it's Oz! Is your patron still active?

Culture shock is what I feel when I leave the house. I’m globally unadapted. *Very insightful video. Always enjoy. *

I didn’t know you where talking about Toronto Malaysia till I read the tags :p

Fashion has shifted in America, especially with younger people. Thrifting, vintage, wearing clothes that look aged is what's in now. Wonder if that it part of it.

Will you be moving back to Japan then?? Or will you be staying in Canada?

wait! why did you return to Canada? Is there a video I can watch of why you moved back?

Yeah, after going to Japan several times, I would say you were definitely spoiled haha. Prices have gone up for everything here due to inflaton and our current gonverments terrible policies. Would be intersted to hear about Mayu as well - like what does she do all day?? Haha.

We have the same problems here in Sydney Australia people are friendly but not so polite and respectful like japan is Yep eat out food in japan is so much cheaper than here too!!! Japan is very very self conscious 100% like here too!!! ✌🏻

3:41 That's what she said

Are you from India सर जी?

More cannabis than Timmies!

Oz, I thought you were from Scarborough! You're a downtowner?

I didn`t really experience culture shock when I came to Japan 23 years ago. But now we are toying with the idea of moving back. Thing is I have literally been in Tokyo half my life. The most formative years of self discovery. What I fear is that when we return it will not be the Canada that I left.

私に言わせれば、カナダのほうがいいよ！( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ... カナダに行きたいんだ！とくに、「Dog River Saskatchewan」!

You need to become more Masculine and start lifting weights sir.
