You go to school as an elementary kid and everybody is wearing a sweater and jeans despite the fact that it's ten below and snowing. I miss that actually.

Subaru should consider writing a novel out of her life.

I bet the info the host agency gave to Subaru was already a year or two outdated as well. They probably had the initial family info and pictures but it wasn't up to date.

@@Crunchbite_Daimyo ^ This is very likely, I did a 3 week exchange program to Japan, and my host family had a completely different surname than the one I was given. A lot of times these records are in accurate or can be muddled in translation.

It's Canada. What else r u gonna expect?

@Peter Parkerman she didnt really specify the time, so i think its around midnight and they thought subaru was sleeping. cuz a normal family that nice wouldnt really make out with their guest knowing.

@@zoinksscoob6523 they could have made out in another room at least, lmao

@@user-zl3se4qj8m Now you gave me a mental image of them entering Subaru's room just to make out.

"Nice but weird" does kind of describe Canada tho.

Doesnt seem like she learned any French either. I guess 1 year wasnt enough for anything to stick.

She reads very well in english, she isn't too confident with speaking though

When I saw the title I thought maybe she didn't like the family and left early, because she doesn't seem to know a lot of English.

Her English is really nice actually, she doesn't use it a lot though. I would say she's just behind Haachama.

Subarus comprehensive english is fairly good. it's just her pronunciation that needs work Here is a video of her translating a game to her viewers She really loves western movies and would love to talk about marvel and such hence the desire to learn. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gNqUiZpnyK_NmKc.html

Matasa yep. Cathedral grove is specifically what I was referring to when I commented.

I mean, quite a few of us live right next to mountainous areas so the hiking and mountain biking culture is undeniably large. It's just something we sort of do.

hm introvert def wasnt my first impression

I've lived in Canada my whole live and when i was in high school I would get the amusement park summer pass and go like 18 times a summer with my friends lol.

She must’ve lived in Calgary there was Calaway Park and Our Next Door Neighbour was B.C. and trust me I found B.C. a lot more fun you could hunt go shooting quading go camping into the mountains see how far you can hike with so brewskies yeah B.C. is better

@@calgaryhighlander9623 The Mom took her to a forest lol, I don't think it was Calgary. Probably somewhere in BC

Voltlighter hey let me dream man😢

Voltlighter I don’t think you can just narrow it down to British Columbia because they went to a forest. There are forests across Canada.

Where I live, I see people start wearing a jacket with shorts as soon as the temperature rises above 0C. I don't get it either

After the winter as soon as it hits 0 again it’s t shirt and shorts weather for me. But once summer ends and winter hits, anything below 10 has me bundled up

@@NotSoMelancholy It's body acclimation. It's the same way here where I live. My body acclimates quite quickly. Currently our average daily high was like the average nightly low only a month ago. I feel warm outside, yet my parents and neighbors all complain that it's not very warm outside. It's quite interesting how people's bodies can adapt. Part of it is genetic though.

@@kingstrongsad7454 We had a few Canadian exchange students over here in Australia last year and they said that they were unbearably hot at about 27C and it was only October. Body Acclimatization is a strange thing.

@@goku_dunker_420 I'm kinda jealous of the kids who got to this. The most that we did is maybe field trips around the country

@@goku_dunker_420 it's quite common in japan

My school does that. Every year you would go to somewhere else. And it would build up. Like first year was London for 2 weeks, Second year Czechia for 2 weeks, then a country of your choice, then a Europe and a bit of Asia trip. You would also go on different trips in between those depending on which classes you take. Sadly I can’t experience any of that cause of the virus. (I’m European btw, so it’s a different school system with grades and shit)

...what? lol

@@yoursonisold8743 She doesn't speak english that well, but she seems to easily understand english comments on her videos (and other channels that make clips) really well.

@@RoyFokker93 Well, you should probably consider that Subaru uses a translator like everyone else when she goes to comments sections. And I dont think her English reading skills on stream are even close to middle-school level most of the time.... then again it's Japan, they really cant handle English, so Subaru can be considered advanced I suppose?

@@yoursonisold8743 Sure, but when some of the girls use a translator, you can really tell, Subaru at times just read a comment and understand it (or at least a general idea of what was the meaning).

@@yoursonisold8743 She def understands English instinctively, she mostly translates english text on the fly

Hi fellow SEA, hope you're doing well! So it's really true they always say sorry? haha. And also it's amazing you guys are able to move during a pandemic.

@@deliciousnoodles5505 Canadian here. I can confirm for you that we do say Sorry a lot. Its generally not used in a "Oh im super sorry" or "Im bashful" type way more like a general expression. That and I've been told numerous time s that we pronounce "a" weirdly. Also one more thing: We say "eh" at least every other sentence

@@awildweeb6713 I've been learning about Canadians and I have the best impression so far. My first contact was 5 years ago when I subscribed to Beast Mode Gaming and he was so nice all the time. Greetings from Argentina, the country where the snow only falls in one province.

We do say it too often. Im sorry haha

I don't think hiking in Canada is safer than in Japan. Japan is a much smaller country than Canada, and Big cities are far away from large mountains, so the most popular hiking spots (near from big metros) are overcrowded and overdeveloped, taking away the risk of being stranded or getting hurt. FYI, Mt. Takao, located in the west of Tokyo metro is often cited as the most visited single mountain in the world, and its height is only some 600m! The forest is relatively wider than to be expected from such a low mountain, but it is certainly overdeveloped and overcrowded. Surely there are also many dangerous mountains in Japan, notably the 'Japan Alps' region, Mt. Fuji (the highest in the country), and many other live/dead volcanoes, but those are quite far from big metros and the people usually prepare heavily for them.

@@kwj_nekko_6320 Well it depends, because of how big Canada is there are thousands of trails that are very easy for anyone to traverse and are typically all over the place, through towns, residential areas, shopping districts and cities so it's not all that different. Although, without question, the countryside is a completely different story. Outside of how massive and easy it is to get lost like you implied, there's tons of predators and the climate is much harsher.

@@kwj_nekko_6320 There happens to be both in Canada. Some of them happen to be very close to cities for people who want to take a stroll with family and friends which is always nice, there are others that are more in the rural areas which would be going into what you are talking about. I feel that overcrowding is an issue for safety in these areas, particularly in these times of the pandemic. Either way, I am no expert about this so just take it as an opinion of a random guy on KZfaq.

Yes the hiking and MTB culture here is actually massive. I can see the mountains from my house so it makes sense but I've only been to an amusement park maybe once? If you want something like that around where I live you either go to the mountains or the sports park in the city.

Her original word for that part is "chucchu" which literally means some cooing (hugging and kissing). Though this is still a somewhat cringy thing to do in front of outsiders in Japanese culture, recently quite a lot of young couples do that also in open spaces. I think the awkwardness comes from the fact that there were only a few people (possibly only the host couple and Subaru) in the room (possibly livingroom) in a very late time.

@@kwj_nekko_6320 I would still find it awkward to see a couple doing that in open spaces and I'm not Japanese.

I would totally do the same when it comes to going on a hike. And I would rather cut of a finger instead of asking a guide to join on a hike. When I think of it I might struggle to find one 🤔

Bruh Canada is all forest. Unless you live in Toronto or Vancouver, your gonna be bored out of your mind constantly

@@personperson5697 Depends on your interests

If it was around fall or spring time, then yeah, that makes perfect sense. Assuming she came around springtime, which is when foreign exchange students typically show up, there should be rain still, but we'd be getting warm and people might start to get into an early summer mood and bust out the grill. It's also possible that the new husband wanted to show Shuba some hospitality by busting out his grill early in the season before she leaves. It's unfortunate that she felt awkward in her trip, I'm sure it wasn't intentional on the host family's part, and they wanted to try showing her some of our specialty rather than just more city life. If you're in BC, our nature parks are a must see.

Yeah, she's lucky she didn't go to Sasketchewan. It's cold as balls there. At least in Alberta you get chinooks and all sorts of wierd weather sometimes.

@@nicolasa.3192 I bet if she went to Saskatchewan she would have commented on/been amazed by how ridiculously flat it is.

@@SunnyBlam Maybe. Sasketchewan is still very much rolling hills though. It's not like some southern states where it really is completely flat. There's a lot of lakes and forest on the north half of the province as well.

@@nicolasa.3192 No one lives in the the northern half of the province where the lakes are, as roads basically don't exist there, you have to take flights to get around. So you'd be confined to the flat frozen wasteland area that averages -30c Can't wait for another winter :(

@@capsaicin5332 My family actually owns a property on a lake "up there" lol. Granted, it isn't as far north as Uranium Lake (bless the people who live up there), but it's in the north half of the province. There are roads up there to, at least for the better part of the province that stretches into the Canadian shield. Summers get hot, and winters get cold.

Madness

For me anything above 5 is fair game for shorts.

After experiencing -25 on a good day -8 feels like nothing. Like yeah, I'll go have a snowball fight in my t-shirt and sweatpants at recess.

Meanwhile, I'm wearing coats at 15 C° lol

And then there's me, wearing a coat and gloves on 22C.

Yeah XD just this recent Canada day, I went to an event my town was hosting and there was this family all dressed up in winter coats in 20°C weather

Wintertime sunlight time - 4 hours. Literally sunrise around 0900, and sunset around 1300... that'll make anybody a tough boy.

Bruh, I'm Canadian and I'd want to rocket myself into the sun if I had to see snow nearly all year round. I can tolerate cold if I have to, it's just depressing when all the greenery is gone and the sun sets at like 5-6 pm.

@@FakeHeroFang Exactly the opposite for me. I wanna move farther up north for more snow.

@@FakeHeroFang Ah, yes, would you like to switch places with someone living in the tropics? cuz i really do be needing that 24/30/12 snow

*holds up a hundred dollars to superchat with. Threateningly and with an apology for the superchat bullying.*

To be honest I'd say the coldest places in Canada would have to be somewhere in the North West Territories.

At least I have that to look out for, now that I'm prob gonna study in abroad in Canada.

@@thomasjin1415 We have a lot of forests and nature parks, even inside cities. Hell, in Vancouver, we have a big park right next to the downtown core. We also have large nature reserves and big parks that are further out. Take a look around Canada's parks and reserves, they got some breathtaking vistas, and if you like outdoor recreation, it's a great place to be.

@@matasa7463 Yeah that's so true. Our "parks" basically span the entire city most of the time. Fish Creek in Calgary is _massive._ You can do everything from fly fishing on the river to mountain biking there it's so large.

@@thomasjin1415 note: if they take you out into the woods unless they explicitly state otherwise, they know the area and have traversed it at least once.

Geese are demons, but they keep to themselves if you leave them alone. That's my experience with them anyways, so I assume anyone being heckled by geese probably did something stupid to deserve it.

I got attacked by a Canadian goose on the way back from work. First time one of those fuckers ever attacked me. Thankfully I didn't have to fight back, I just slowly walked forward and -ducked- goosed my head when it jumped at me.
