mermaidise You did great in the interview. Yes, you do have a strong French accent and struggle with English words. Most important thing is that we can understand your English. Don’t worry.😊
What I did notice on my short trip, that everything was so clean, even the trucks in the highway were spotless. I spent couple of nights in Japanese home (in January) and I was shocked how cold it was in there! I understand, that it's more comfortable during the summer, but man, it was so freezing inside :D Generally people were more polite and attentive, which I liked a lot.
what i'm surprising is the standing line.. how could they stand for 2-3hours for waiting into the shop / restaurant?? in my country they won't waiting more than 20min i think.. and if there's didn't have a separate line it will be chaos.. lol
To foreigners.I'm Japanese. Actually Life style in japan is very depression. Over time working, suicide rate high , Very close mind. Only traveling people doesn't know real life Japan.
I think it's what you decide to take of it.. I mean yeah many things in Japan are depressing, such as overtime and that lack of individuality.. but I think that's changing now and Japan is becoming more open gradually, also you can try to look at the positive things about Japan and the fact that even though working overtime and hiding your real feelings can sometimes be depressing, Japanese people, as I see it can have a good time in festivals, hanging out with friends, traveling the country, the convenience, I think Japan has a lot more to improve sure, but I also think many things are great in Japan. please tell me what you think of it, great day!
So hier kann ich mal auf deutsch schreiben, nice!🌚 Das mit dem Ferien bzw der Freizeit ist in Asien echt nh problem... und trotzdem wollen wir alle dort hin, well they do something right lol.
Japanese people are very polite and its a wonderful thing. But at the same time they are nice to you even when they dont like you. So I think it might be a bit frustrating to not know what people really think about you.
I can hear how hard it is for the french girls to keep a barely usable english accent... When i hear the japanese words with a french accent in an english sentence it's quite disturbing.
i ordered that japan crate to taste some japanese food/sweets ... big mistake most of the stuff i couldn't eat not used to certain flavours was a problem .. i even tried A5 wagyu beef from meat specialists ... i liked it but it wasn't worth the price ... as for sushi we eat our fish cooked in Scotland we have a massive variety of fish and shell fish in Scotland ... i love smoked haddock hot or cold smoked
in Scotland we don't eat eels, squid or octopus .., we don't have any japanese restaurants in the part of Scotland i live in either, i agree Japan has flavours we are not used to in Europe ... i would like to visit japan but i couldn't live their or stay longer than a week to fond of European flavours and cuisine
Japanese don't drive fast!! Huh you haven't come across drifting yet. Once you do the Germans would appear like bullock cart riding medivals back home😂😂😂
One other thing is that there is nearly no sarcasm in Japan, while it is widespread in the US and elsewhere. In fact, some people cannot be non-sarcastic. Sarcasm is their entire identity. I think this really started coming to the fore culturally in the 1990s. Japan, in many ways, reminds me of what the West would be like if it continued from the 1950s on without any of the major cultural changes that took place. Women act feminine. Men wear suits. Snark is not a way of life. Also, architecture is mostly ugly and plain modernism (as was in vogue from the 1950s until the early 1980s in America). Occasionally, you'll find a "No foreigners allowed" sign. Housewives actually exist and shockingly, some children are cared for during the day by a biological parent. Etc.
+tetsuya lederhouse: It is not a specific part of Japan. It is random bars and onsens and such scattered around. For example, I used to live in Takenotsuka, in Adachi Ward, Tokyo. A man was outside a regular pub/bar and I believe he had a sign (to get people to enter) and he called out to get people to come to his bar, but only when I got around 15 feet (5 meters) from him did he be quiet all of a sudden. He did that every time I passed by (for months) but no other time. I didn't even want to enter, but one time, when I had JUST passed by and a Japanese guy came behind me and he called out to get people (just not me) to enter again, I decided to walk in (just because, literally, I'm less than 15 feet ahead of the Japanese guy he is calling to get to enter the bar. As I'm about to enter, the man calling out hurriedly rushes up to me and, in that politeness that Japanese are known for, says "Sumimasen...no foreigner", making the "batsu" (X) arm gesture. I get angry, and as I'm walking away, I say, "Tsugi no toki, gaikokijin ga kitara, nani mo iwanaide kudasai!" ("The next time a foreigner comes, please don't say anything!"...meaning "Don't lead someone on if they can't enter.") He's of course bowing profusely as I walk away...of course not that he would let me in. That's something I ran into. In the same place I lived, Takenotsuka, there was another club that I believe had Russians dancing in it, but it had a sign that blatantly (and hypocritically) said "No foreigners". Those are two examples. One third example I'll give is that my girlfriend at the time (a Chinese person) went to a real estate agency in the aptly-named "Takahata Fudo" (in Hino, Tokyo) and she wanted to rent an apartment, but she was told that they don't rent to Chinese people. Of course, 99% of Japanese people are welcoming, and I find Japanese people to be the nicest people in the world...and the "no foreigner" signs are mostly outside bars that are sketchy to begin with (along with some onsen), but of course in America in the current day, that would not fly because the government would immediately crack down. I also believe that most people in the 1950s in America were kind and hospitable. Similarly, even before gay marriage became legal in America just a few of short years ago, lots of people didn't mind gay people. (And this is also true in many -non-despotic- countries where gay marriage is STILL not legal.) So we often have a very judgmental idea about an entire culture based on the messed up behaviors of the few (abetted by a failure of the government to crack down on those behaviors). I will always say that Japan is one of the best countries in the world, and it really comes down to the people. In fact, my fiancee is Japanese. But you asked for some details, and I decided to give you some.
M. Taku so True 😅 I'm 162cm tall, and during my semester abroad I was mostly one of the taller girls. Though, there were a few girls that were taller than me there as well 😊
Lol, I just now realized, that your icon's of the "Deutscher Fußballbund" you're a football fan? It's funny how I have a "japanese" icon and you a "German" one 🤣
FiveOClockTea I'm 18 years old male. I'm 170 centimeters tall. 😭 I'm studying German and English! 😄I've only recently begun to learn German.😅 I will go to Frankfurt am main for one year from this year's summer. 😆I wish I could meet you. 😊 I love BUNDESLIGA!!😍 Finally, do you speak Japanese?? I'm not good at English. so I'm sorry if it is difficult for you to understand my English.😣
That was so nice to be part of interview with my mexicans friends ♥ Thank you Cathy, thank you Manager, see you next time !! ♥
mermaidise You did great in the interview. Yes, you do have a strong French accent and struggle with English words. Most important thing is that we can understand your English. Don’t worry.😊
+Narine Garibian: I'm American and had ZERO problems with understanding her.
Rationalific I never said anything bad about her. I can understand her completely with no problem.
ah, well it's nice thank you ! ♥
Cathy looks really good in both fashion styles (interview & end summary)
German people work very quickly and go home early or take holidays longer than us. That's what we should learn from them.
You're so right🙏 As a german, i just have to agree☺
I regularly visit European countries at work, but local people are very kind to me. This is not limited to Japan.
nobu_ levante_s ever been to Holland? :)
Sometimes people have bad manners.
It's not Japanese, it's Chinese or Korean.

YOUT is new English
I know Japanese are very very polite but I've never thought they are open-minded.
Europeans: Japanes people are so friendly! Wish we were like that
Japanese: Foreigners are so friendly! Wish we could be so enthusiastic like that
-_-
what i'm surprising is the standing line..
how could they stand for 2-3hours for waiting into the shop / restaurant??
in my country they won't waiting more than 20min i think..

Please show more interviews of Indian and Pakistani people thanks
Very true.. Tokyo is so quite.. Japanese doesn't like noisy I quess.
+Mr Pendekar: Japanese tend to be quiet. But Japanese cities in general are actually quite noisy.
LOVED IT............
So hier kann ich mal auf deutsch schreiben, nice!🌚
Das mit dem Ferien bzw der Freizeit ist in Asien echt nh problem... und trotzdem wollen wir alle dort hin, well they do something right lol.
Sorry to comment so late. I'm from Japan and think Japan has " Ein Land Ein Volk Ein Herz ".
Nobody blame on you with " You are Neo-Nazi " in Japan.
Japanese people are very polite and its a wonderful thing. But at the same time they are nice to you even when they dont like you. So I think it might be a bit frustrating to not know what people really think about you.

I agree xD (ps: I'm the last french of the vid)
The accent sound so sexy, I dont care
Your hair is awesome, I hope you had a fun time in Japan!
世界中どこの国でも、個性があり、価値観が違うのは当然です。しかし、外国を見て良いところは取り入れる、悪いとこは捨てるのは良いですね。

Out of curiosity, what part of Japan has “No Foreigner” signs?

In my country (USA), they spell YOUT as YOUR. I never knew they spelled it differently in Japan. ;)
Cathy is German, though, so she's probably spelling in metric. :)
