@@sherrihall5479 Japanese are afraid of risks to get money in their pocket rather than return it.

Not surprised at all :) it's An amazing place

Yeah I would love to try the food there and even live there only need to learn Japanese

I got food poisoning only once from vending machine food haha

Im worried about the fact that not getting food poisoning is remarkable to you

Food in Japan is mind-blowingly amazing!!

I once forgot my tablet in Washington D.C on a tour bus, but thankfully someone turned it in and found it.

That's a stupid comment from a fucking idiot. Punch yourself in the face for us.

Tosh T your feedback is always appreciated Tosh!

Thanks Tosh. Always appreciate the support

Holy crap we typed the same thing! I didn't see this comment before I wrote. It's like we are married or something.

Wolters World 15hrs away and we're still like the wonder twins. But not brother n sister because that would be gross.

Yes. Yes it would.

The swastika is Japanese culture represents peace and tranquility.

Actually that is a Buddhist symbol and was brought from China.

I already didn't know this... Here was a shock for me to see this sign. I am from Germany. In Germany is forbidden. The reason I don't need to mention... It's a dark history and in memory for the victims a taboo... And that's absolutely right. ✌️❤️

The swastika is used all over the world but usually faces in the opposite direction from the Nazis. Buddhist churches of America used it as a symbol until it was adopted by the Nazis. Some Chinese Buddhist temples in the U.S. still used it.

Thank you Andrea. We try to be objective, honest, and fun at the same time. I really appreciate the kind words. Great travels to You! Mark

Andrea Orbegozo that is really kind of you, thanks!

I so agree! Not difficut to be respectful and positive about Japanese people and culture, I have to admitt, but other countries are treated with the same honorable attitude. Thank you!

@@woltersworld ​ Japan is just as prideful as the USA. I have to admit, human beings focusing on intellect over brawn and machismo outsmart completely socially. Japanese people are intimidating when it comes to intellect and efficiency. The USA is unique in that a lot of different looking people live there. Because of this, people are working through drama socially and collectively in more ways than exists in Japan. This also contributes to the inefficiency of USA culture. There is a lot of anger, emotional tension, and angst in the USA that probably isn’t present in Japan. It’s like living in a city in Nebraska or South Dakota where most people are White: yes there is probably less drama and crime, but at the same time the people that live in those types of towns and cities are not always facing how snooty they are socially because there is a lack of cultural reflection (with different looking people). One thing I have to say about Japan that is overwhelmingly positive is the “quiet” aspect of their culture. It seems they are deeply influenced by meditation, telepathy, and Buddhist monks. Japan is just as materialistic as the USA is. I see what Japan is doing as a head game socially on the world platform, since they are focused intensely on impressing the rest of the world with intellect, ingenuity, and complexity . Nothing wrong with that. That’s just the way I see it. When I focus on the feeling of Japan as a whole, I feel like they want other countries to feel inferior in the mind, which is why I see it that way. I don’t get that completely with Scandinavian countries or the countries affiliated with Scandinavia (also into telepathy and meditation). These are my perceptions. I don’t even know if I am right or not. The president of Finland cracks me up! He always has that wild-eyed stare… People in Finland are known for it. I think Japan is peaceful, and all and all, the USA could follow their example. But I get the overwhelming feeling that they want us to feel outsmarted, and all of what they do is complete focus on proving their value as as a country to the rest of the world, which is simply a focus on money over love and the mental (personality). We all have things to learn. I respect Japan for eliminating crime so much and being on a higher wavelength, but again, that is easier when a country has less cultural reflection. In the USA, that is ALL there is. The USA needs to let go of the idea of policing the world (White night syndrome). It makes us uptight, violent, and shallow. No country has control. All of us are afraid of death. There is more to life than money and impressing other people (common in all countries).

i have to worry about sleeping in my own house in ATL

Thanks buddy!

Sharpshooter Gaming dang! Nice

I was chaperoning high school kids from the US. Some forgot their backpacks and/or cameras on the commuter trains. Our tour guide called the train station and in most cases the items were at the hotel within 24 hours. I thought that was amazing!

My dumbass sister tucked her passport and about £1000 worth of yen underneath a mattress in a hotel in Nara. She remembered half way to Hiroshima and we had to turn back. The staff found it, stored it safely and returned it to her when she arrived back at the hotel. Nothing was missing, it was amazing!

Like dang

@@randyfukuda8562 WOW, I am impressed.

on Life Where I'm From channel, they marked their places (like in a bar) using a _DSL camera_ for something like half an hour, in two different places, nobody so far as even looked funny at it

Because most Japanese have an attitude that it is not mine, where other places have an attitude of finders keepers loosers weapers. Totally different mindset!

My wife accidently left her handbag on the floor of the observation tower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building. It had been handed in to lost and found. A couple of days later I left my GoPro in a small restaurant. Staff were waiting to give it back to me when I returned. The Japanese come across as being honest, respectful and courteous (something most Australians lack).

My 6 year old daughter left her small backpack on a bench in the park outside Osaka Castle. By the time I noticed it was missing and we rushed back, it had been there about 45 minutes. It was still where we had left it... with some camera equipment inside.

Same thing happens in Cuba so whats your point.

Thank you Vera.

Donald Lewis thanks Don

I lived here in Shizuoka for twenty years. There are pros and cons but by no means is it some sort of paradise or utopia. There are a LOT of negatives and the Japanese are generally quite unhappy in their day to day lives. Too much work and too much obligation.

Just read "Food, a love story" by Jim Gaffigan. That will explain it.

hittingtax26 No one said that in WW2 when they murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians

South East Asia is "better" in a sense that people are more chill and relaxed. But when under attack, we fight like there'll be no sun tomorrow as well

steve gale I should be living in Kyoto then. Shizuoka has a reputation for its conservative, dour people. I find the majority of people around me to be in dire need of enjoyment and a long vacation. Overworked, underpaid, undersexed, and depressed. , repressed and oppressed. I did notice a massive difference in prefectures in the south especially on Kyushu.

Thank you Mr.Lund

both of them exist as kanji in japanese

I agree

I agree with you. I think it's so disgusting to see and hear people slurping. I am Chinese. Slurping is like spitting peasants often do in China.

Yeah you kinda gotta eat it like that. It might be a little gross but it’s also fun lol

Thank you

Thank you!

I'm glad we could help Jordan :)
