My Japanese girlfriend left her purse on the Tokyo subway. She had the equivalent of $2000 in cash in it. She was completely unworried--and hey presto, someone turned the purse over to the station agent, where they kept it safe and sound, not one yen missing.
@@sleepyppl4286why the fuck is that your first assumption. White people commit crimes against white people, this is rather what happens when everybody is able to afford basic needs and has a stable income and access to clean water, healthy food and housing
I loved Japan and didn't have the shock that most people refer to unfortunately 😅 But the four things I do miss from there is their convenient stores(food), safety, their vending machines, and almost universal clean bathrooms lol
Left my passport in a small town in Hokkaido. It was found and delivered to me in Tokyo a few days later. I lost my wallet in osaka and it was delivered to me in Sapporo a few days later. The kindness and honesty of the Japanese people is as impressive as my ability to lose valuable items 😂
So turns out 1000 yen is equal to a little over $7 in USD. Yes I had to look it up because I had no clue. That much food for that price 😮 amazing. What a beautiful country, and so many interesting places and things. I have been told the people of Japan are lovely one of the nicest people anywhere.
I mean it’s just because yen is worth so much less than usd. You can experience this in a lot of the world. Like I’m india you can get like a full 3 course meal for $4.
I thought people would be quiet in the train. Until I saw two elderly Japanese people across from me chatting, giggling and holding hands. They seemed to have the time of their lives, I'm happy to call them my in-laws.
In my personal experience this isn’t the case. In any almost every shopping district, big or small, it will won’t have a very large footprint and will be multi story. Although, the dedicated shopping streets are always really cool

Well, either you have never been to Japan or, if you have, you have never stepped into a Japanese restaurant or an Izakaya. Japanese people are extremely loud and annoying when they gather in groups in hotels, restaurants, or bars. They don't give a damn about the foreigners sitting at tables around them. Japanese will talk loudly, argue loudly, and laugh very very loudly, generally being obnoxious and a nuisance to the foreigners in the restaurants.

As you know, the Boeing 787 is a quasi-Japanese product. Nagoya is famous as the quasi-headquarters of Toyota Motor Corporation. Nagoya was the area where the Zero fighter plane was developed and manufactured before World War II. The Boeing 787 is a product of the following three companies.

Incidentally, the Nagoya area also designs rockets and manufactures components for the space program. Nagoya is a city with a high concentration of very specialized and highly skilled companies. You love Nagoya. Thank you so much. Nagoya is one of Japan's three largest cities after Tokyo and Osaka.
You're forgetting the fact that Tokyo is the cleanest place you'll visit. No joke. I visited in 2016 and I couldn't believe how clean the whole city was.
It's because people are taught at a very early age to clean up after themselves and their surroundings, all the way until high school. In America it would be *wild* to have the stupid spend part of the day cleaning the whole school. Windows, floors, you name it.
yeah i am 5'3(male) Japanese and my friend is like 5'6~6 i am the only short guy n my friend group. :( anso my friend girlfriend is taller than me. I'm gonna cry. I need to look up at my friends. I think the average height is increasing. all of my friends paret is about my hight or only a little higher than me. also the average height for male in japan is apparently like 168.6cm〜170.8cm and for woman Is 157.3cm〜158.0cm. Im below average for male
Japanese are actually taller than I expected. At 6’0 I didn’t feel out of place at all. I think overall the younger generation are taller than their parents.
I'm the same height as you and I though the same, but I guess the thing is it takes only a little bit more variation on the downward side to skew the avarage
Same. Live in Atlanta and the average height is probably the same as Tokyo? Assuming we're just talking young people. The elderly were pretty short over there.
I'm 5'8" as a man and I felt tall compared to the average woman, especially compared to white women, but I felt average if not short compared to the average Japanese man
@@geoplanetaire I'm 5'9" as a woman and although I'm on the taller side, there are way taller women in my country and I hate to break it to you but 5'8" is small for a man. (I'm German so at least for German standards).
This has been a trend across a lot of East Asian countries. They've rapidly modernized and their standard of nourishment has increased very quickly since the mid-century, with millions lifted from poverty. Turns out being able to eat means you can grow properly, who knew.
Eh... they're not always drunk in the subway in NY, sometimes they're messed up on drugs, mentally ill, or just homeless and looking to start a fight because its winter and jail is better than a subway bench. Just dont make eye contact and don't try to reason with them, and you'll be fine.
Lived in Japan for 25 years and there is not a single thing I dislike about it. One time I left my wallet in the train and I went to the last station to recover it. Everything was there.
I been fortunate to visit Osaka once in the early 2000’s, I really enjoyed my stay. Walking around checking out the city and all its marvels was mind blowing. In my mind Japan is a couple of decades ahead of RoW esp. consumer electronics. Japanese ppl are shy, super polite, modest and very organised. It’s the only country I been to where I felt as a complete outsider/immigrant, I don’t know the language, couldn’t read their writing and back then there was no smartphones or google translate. I promised my wife that we will go and see Tokyo, an amazing place I’ve been told
Lived in Japan for 6 years when I was in the military. Loved it. There isn't crap for crime except the foreigners. Never locked my house and never took the keys out of the ignition of my car. Never once had a problem.
It’s pretty crazy that the crime is so low in the huge cities, unlike most countries. But there are plenty of areas in countries like the US and EU countries that are just as safe. But these areas are typically suburban or rural, so Japan’s crime rate is still very impressive.
All true. I saw all these things in Tokyo this June and really enjoyed my time there. The food is incredible, even in the convenience stores. They all have microwaves that work, and the food is just a great surprise, in a good way.
It's starting to be one of the Japanese influences seeping into Hawaii too. Not the prices, but the decent grub at convenience stores at least, not just spam musubis any more. (Those are awesome, however!)
It’s not only Tokyo that is utterly packed with people, it’s ALL Japanese cities. Osaka, Nagoya, Yokohama, Kyoto, Fukuoka, are all completely crammed with people. Sapporo is somewhat better in that it was laid out in a planned grid so doesn’t seem as chaotically packed
The second largest city in Japan is about as large as nyc, the 3rd largest city in Japan is larger than Chicago, and the 4th largest is as large as Miami
It has a lot of issues that could make it worse than the US though. A weak yen means you earn a lot less, workplace culture is extremely workaholic oriented and company loyalty is an essential part of Japanese culture. You know how Americans think big companies screwed them over, in Japan no such narrative exists and probably never will in a long time. Also, Japanese racism is on another level of what is acceptable in the west and there’s no anti discrimination laws. This is important when you’re the immigrant because you can count on not getting promotions based on race.
DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER - A lot of foreigners get confused, but all the "booby magazines" standing upright are actually regular manga that are popular even in the world. They just have swimsuit models on the covers but they are never the main content. Ones lying flat underneath are the ones with real sleazy content, in case you're looking for them.
NO HATE My mom once went to Tokyo and went to a really posh area with lots of elite bars and clubs. She and her female colleague were quietly minding their own business when to guys started stalking them, after that both of them ran for 30minutes until they lost the stalkers. My mom told me Japan(Tokyo) is very very safe but that one area, don't go there alone or without a friend.
Would 100% recommend going to Japan to visit. Best food, best customer service. If you stay in major cities - the trains will get you wherever you need to go. Just make sure you purchase a coin purse, a backpack, a rail card, and a wireless box you can connect your phone too. Tourist Survival Pack. Oh, and be ready to spend cash on almost everything.
As a 'Mercan who's lived in Japan for a short time, I can confirm that konbinis are a legitimately convenient store, unlike the obese pit stops that I go great lengths to avoid. I miss japanese convenience stores, and I wish that seven eleven would have the guts to run their japan stock overseas so I can get my fix.😂
Japan is the best Asian country to visit. Polite, respectful, nice people. Unparalleled customer service and hospitality. Clean and safe. Delicious food.
Nice for customers, not so nice for employees or owners of the buildings though. Single story shops have the loading dock, storage rooms, and shop floor on the same level so moving pallets of goods is very easy and efficient. Multi-story shops require freight elevators to move pallets, usually more than one elevator. When I worked at a department store, the freight elevators once broke down and we were forced to unload pallets and then make multiple trips carrying boxes of goods up multiple flights of stairs to restock the top floor. Things that might be convenient for your are often a huge pain in the ass for others.
I was 5'8 woman, size 9 shoe, blonde hair down to my waist.......definitely stood out .....I was very uncomfortable there. I was totally safe but I certainly didn't fit in !!! 😢
Your comment makes me very sad😞 I’m a Japanese woman 5’8” . I’ve been a victim of sexual crime about 100 times for two reasons related to my look. One is, many Japanese guys have suddenly touched my body on the busy street because I look South Asian. The other one is, guys who have grudge against women hate a woman stands tall. I think those guys spot me in a train or busy street and stalk me until I go to a quiet residential area. A few years ago, an English woman who I met at a bar said she’d walk home for 30 minutes after the bar closes at 3 a.m. I said 〝No way, Japan isn’t a perfectly safe country as you think！〟 She said 〝I know there are many bad Japanese people but they never attack foreigners〟. I was very glad to see she understands Japan. The reason why Japan looks safe for people from overseas is, Japanese criminal isn’t violent but polite and insidious.
One of the things that immediately made me feel safe in Japan was the men being around the same height as me, the US average height female. I only saw a few guys that were either tall or big.
God I wish we have the quiet and considerate culture here in the states when it comes to public BUT CONFINED spaces. We got way too many of “those” people who love occupying the entire space with noise despite taking up a single seat in the whole shared space
If you’re in the cities, then the shopping mall is up and down, but in suburbs and rural is outwards. Just like in Japan. It’s only in levels in cities.
while NA you can get stabbed or have to fight for saying to not smoke or be annoying on public transportation and which it's common sadly. I hold my tongue when shady looking types are doing so cause don't want a hospital visit from a uncivil individual who just won't listen to reason and come to a basic understanding!
Japanese trains practically never run late, so it's a HUGE deal uf it happens! In fact if one rubs late they will give you a piece of paper to prove you were late because of the train!!
@@lxuxu51The majority of people will just carry their trash with them until they find a garbage can which can be found in most convenience stores. Any trash that does end up in the ground is cleaned up pretty quickly by the street cleaners.
It is rude to eat or drink while walking out riding anywhere so people consume on the spot and dump their trash where they purchase it. If they take it some where else, they carry their trash to the find a bin. Japan is so lovely.
One thing I've noticed about Japanese streets that took me ages to notice: No onstreet parking! I guess there must be indoor garages and parking lots everywhere
Aw this reminds me of my trip to Germany. Expect we were super small and everyone was tall, so bathrooms were a weird situation 😂 all in all very amazing experience
Isn't it generalizing to talk about a group of individuals? I've been here for 30 years. What she said is generally all true. I'm never going back to the US.
I find it funny how Americans are like "whoa it's so safe here I'm not gonna get stabbed or shot" - this is pretty much everywhere in a developed country lol
One thing I like doing in Japan is stuffing my bags into a coin locker and taking the Yamanote line(the green one in the short) and just napping on the train.
The quality of convenient stores in Japan is light years better than the same store in America. Just compare the Seven/Eleven stores and you will see that the American stores look extremely poor.
yes, 30 Minute drive to Walmart, then go back to your own isolated suburb again compared to a lot of asian countries, you can walk 3 minutes and will easily encounter a convenient store. everything is within a walking distance
I really enjoyed being 6’2” when I was there. I could see over everyone’s heads. People were asking for pictures with me. But you don’t fit into any of the seats.

Japanese are actually taller than I expected. At 6’0 I didn’t feel out of place at all. I think overall the younger generation are taller than their parents.
I'm the same height as you and I though the same, but I guess the thing is it takes only a little bit more variation on the downward side to skew the avarage
Same. Live in Atlanta and the average height is probably the same as Tokyo? Assuming we're just talking young people. The elderly were pretty short over there.
I'm 5'8" as a man and I felt tall compared to the average woman, especially compared to white women, but I felt average if not short compared to the average Japanese man
@@geoplanetaire I'm 5'9" as a woman and although I'm on the taller side, there are way taller women in my country and I hate to break it to you but 5'8" is small for a man. (I'm German so at least for German standards).
This has been a trend across a lot of East Asian countries. They've rapidly modernized and their standard of nourishment has increased very quickly since the mid-century, with millions lifted from poverty.
Turns out being able to eat means you can grow properly, who knew.
Drunk people on trains is literally a new york classic
Eh... they're not always drunk in the subway in NY, sometimes they're messed up on drugs, mentally ill, or just homeless and looking to start a fight because its winter and jail is better than a subway bench. Just dont make eye contact and don't try to reason with them, and you'll be fine.
The Food is amazing. I was there in 2013 Hanami-Festival and my wife and I still talk about it
I love that no matter the country, we all share the experience of the late night train riders usually being very drunk and passing out 😂
Lived in Japan for 25 years and there is not a single thing I dislike about it. One time I left my wallet in the train and I went to the last station to recover it. Everything was there.
Try switching Jobs.
I immensely enjoyed and love the sense of humor.. awesome place to visit hope to one day. You just made my day.
“Its like a perpetual Swifty concert” is probably the worst analogy I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
having lived around Asia all my life (where land is few and population is high) I've never felt so alienated by that statement
wait why
I been fortunate to visit Osaka once in the early 2000’s, I really enjoyed my stay. Walking around checking out the city and all its marvels was mind blowing. In my mind Japan is a couple of decades ahead of RoW esp. consumer electronics. Japanese ppl are shy, super polite, modest and very organised.
It’s the only country I been to where I felt as a complete outsider/immigrant, I don’t know the language, couldn’t read their writing and back then there was no smartphones or google translate.
I promised my wife that we will go and see Tokyo, an amazing place I’ve been told
I was in japan last month ❤
Convenience Store food can easily transform me into paradise
Stationed in Japan for about 2 1/2 years USN. Loved it
Lived in Japan for 6 years when I was in the military. Loved it. There isn't crap for crime except the foreigners. Never locked my house and never took the keys out of the ignition of my car. Never once had a problem.
They are missing a certain culture over there that’s why crime is low
It’s pretty crazy that the crime is so low in the huge cities, unlike most countries. But there are plenty of areas in countries like the US and EU countries that are just as safe. But these areas are typically suburban or rural, so Japan’s crime rate is still very impressive.
@paulhunter9613he specifically said only the foreigners are to worry about.

All true. I saw all these things in Tokyo this June and really enjoyed my time there. The food is incredible, even in the convenience stores. They all have microwaves that work, and the food is just a great surprise, in a good way.
It's starting to be one of the Japanese influences seeping into Hawaii too. Not the prices, but the decent grub at convenience stores at least, not just spam musubis any more. (Those are awesome, however!)
@@exidy-yt I wish my country had spam musubi at convenience stores
@@SOA_yt Me too brother, Me too.
A swift concert as a frame of reference for being in a giant city with literally millions of people is wild.
Japanese people are kind and respectful and honorable
But they're also extremely racist
It’s not only Tokyo that is utterly packed with people, it’s ALL Japanese cities. Osaka, Nagoya, Yokohama, Kyoto, Fukuoka, are all completely crammed with people. Sapporo is somewhat better in that it was laid out in a planned grid so doesn’t seem as chaotically packed
The second largest city in Japan is about as large as nyc, the 3rd largest city in Japan is larger than Chicago, and the 4th largest is as large as Miami
@@ac1455 it’s not the population. It’s the density. Check that out and get back to me
It's because of those cities are full of tourist
@@elmalanmalan2175 you don’t believe that do you ?
@@shizuokaBLUES I do ! You think I'm making this up?
That Godzilla is amazing
This whole video seems like a good vacation without having lived there.
The”magazine “ got me😂😂😂😂😂
I lived in Japan for two years. I’m 6’2” and an elementary school kid literally called me Gojira (Godzilla). I couldn’t stop laughing.
The food at convenience stores is really not bad. Then I stayed in Nishi shinjuku the 711 had really delicious oden.
Yea non NA ones surely blow the NA ones out the water i want to try all the non NA ones so bad!!!
I wish i could move to Japan. The manners and the peace and quiet and the technology and the low crime rate would be such a welcome change.
It has a lot of issues that could make it worse than the US though. A weak yen means you earn a lot less, workplace culture is extremely workaholic oriented and company loyalty is an essential part of Japanese culture. You know how Americans think big companies screwed them over, in Japan no such narrative exists and probably never will in a long time.
Also, Japanese racism is on another level of what is acceptable in the west and there’s no anti discrimination laws. This is important when you’re the immigrant because you can count on not getting promotions based on race.
Agreed on that on so many levels. I feel like I want a to live in a country that has low levels of crime, no drugs, clean, quiet, polite etc.
The Detective Conan magazine :0 I'm jealous I wanna go to Japan😭. Also awesome video!
It's nice to visit, but the country is racist to foreigners living there and has some pretty hard expectations when it comes to labor.
I NEED THE TITLE OF THE (probably) BL MANGA PLEASEE
Awesome not unlike a thunder storm or tidal wave cool
DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER - A lot of foreigners get confused, but all the "booby magazines" standing upright are actually regular manga that are popular even in the world. They just have swimsuit models on the covers but they are never the main content. Ones lying flat underneath are the ones with real sleazy content, in case you're looking for them.
You left out Japanese metro cushioned seats. The most comfortable metro ride I’ve ever been on
NO HATE
My mom once went to Tokyo and went to a really posh area with lots of elite bars and clubs. She and her female colleague were quietly minding their own business when to guys started stalking them, after that both of them ran for 30minutes until they lost the stalkers. My mom told me Japan(Tokyo) is very very safe but that one area, don't go there alone or without a friend.
Yea there are many bad things about Japan but people like her don’t talk about it.
Would 100% recommend going to Japan to visit. Best food, best customer service. If you stay in major cities - the trains will get you wherever you need to go.
Just make sure you purchase a coin purse, a backpack, a rail card, and a wireless box you can connect your phone too. Tourist Survival Pack. Oh, and be ready to spend cash on almost everything.
What's a wireless box?
@@husnaliyana8393 Worded that weird - its a remote cellular hotspot. This way you can use your own phone for things like internet, google, etc...
@@husnaliyana8393 Portable wifi
@@husnaliyana8393I think it's a bit like one of those mifi things. A portable hotspot to teth your phone to the internet.

As a 'Mercan who's lived in Japan for a short time, I can confirm that konbinis are a legitimately convenient store, unlike the obese pit stops that I go great lengths to avoid.
I miss japanese convenience stores, and I wish that seven eleven would have the guts to run their japan stock overseas so I can get my fix.😂
“Godzilla sticking out in the crowd” had me dying 😂😂😂
Japan is the best Asian country to visit. Polite, respectful, nice people. Unparalleled customer service and hospitality. Clean and safe. Delicious food.
I would stick out so bad in Japan💀💀💀
The benefit of vertical shops is that you don't need to drive to other shops. So places actually become livable
Nice for customers, not so nice for employees or owners of the buildings though. Single story shops have the loading dock, storage rooms, and shop floor on the same level so moving pallets of goods is very easy and efficient. Multi-story shops require freight elevators to move pallets, usually more than one elevator. When I worked at a department store, the freight elevators once broke down and we were forced to unload pallets and then make multiple trips carrying boxes of goods up multiple flights of stairs to restock the top floor. Things that might be convenient for your are often a huge pain in the ass for others.
Japan also has (in my opinion) one of the World's very best cuisines.
Not just your opinion mate. Tokyo is one of the food capitals of the world
Japanese food is way overrated.
#1 worst in the world
Japanese food is good but the best is a big stretch. What other countries cuisines have you tried ?
Japanese food is the most favorite of
Martha Stewart and was for Anthony
Bourdain !
⛩🍣🍡🍲🍢🍙⛩
37 million people but very quiet and calm with blue skies😊
I'm trying to learn Japanese, so I'm hyped to go on vacation to japan eventually!
I was in Japan back in 05, I want to go back so bad but im worried that it has changed so much that I will be disappointed
I was 5'8 woman, size 9 shoe, blonde hair down to my waist.......definitely stood out .....I was very uncomfortable there. I was totally safe but I certainly didn't fit in !!! 😢
Your comment makes me very sad😞 I’m a Japanese woman 5’8” .
I’ve been a victim of sexual crime about 100 times for two reasons related to my look.
One is, many Japanese guys have suddenly touched my body on the busy street because I look South Asian.
The other one is, guys who have grudge against women hate a woman stands tall. I think those guys spot me in a train or busy street and stalk me until I go to a quiet residential area.
A few years ago, an English woman who I met at a bar said she’d walk home for 30 minutes after the bar closes at 3 a.m.
I said 〝No way, Japan isn’t a perfectly safe country as you think！〟
She said 〝I know there are many bad Japanese people but they never attack foreigners〟.
I was very glad to see she understands Japan.
The reason why Japan looks safe for people from overseas is, Japanese criminal isn’t violent but polite and insidious.
@@noripee8278 :( So sorry that happened to you!
@@casinorevelers Thank you 😊
how can a Japanese woman look "South Asian"? like filipino or vietnamese?@@noripee8278
@@noripee8278Wait, the men there hate tall women? Oh no. I’m going soon and now I’m worried lol
That tip from #8 reminds me of that clip of Conan in Japan where he's in the subway station just awkwardly standing there 😂😂😂
This is really fun and funny, thank you!
Convenient stores is also where you buy tickets to events ie sporting events, Disney, etc.
You're not lying about the gas station food I had the best ham and cucumber sandwich of my life from a gas station in Sasedo
Sasebo .
first tip for people visiting japan, google translate is your friend. also, be prepared to walk, a lot.
One of the things that immediately made me feel safe in Japan was the men being around the same height as me, the US average height female. I only saw a few guys that were either tall or big.
God I wish we have the quiet and considerate culture here in the states when it comes to public BUT CONFINED spaces. We got way too many of “those” people who love occupying the entire space with noise despite taking up a single seat in the whole shared space
At 6'5, I definitely felt like a giant when I was there.
If you’re in the cities, then the shopping mall is up and down, but in suburbs and rural is outwards. Just like in Japan. It’s only in levels in cities.
Don’t forget to mention that it is not polite to talk on the phone in the subway
while NA you can get stabbed or have to fight for saying to not smoke or be annoying on public transportation and which it's common sadly.
I hold my tongue when shady looking types are doing so cause don't want a hospital visit from a uncivil individual who just won't listen to reason and come to a basic understanding!
I am going to japan later this year and I am so fucking exited, mostly because I want to see how the people there react to me as I am 6 feet 8.
People glaze this place so much it’s crazy
There’s a reason for that, you know
THE CALICO CRITTERS AT THE END❤❤❤
Even in a homogeneous country she’s still worried about black guys looking into her soul.
Facts 😅
What?
Japanese trains practically never run late, so it's a HUGE deal uf it happens! In fact if one rubs late they will give you a piece of paper to prove you were late because of the train!!
I think they also apologize.
usually only run late when theres suicides by people jumping off the platforms into oncoming trains etc
@@monogramadikt5971 Or dumb foreigners trying to retrieve something on the train tracks, instead of asking the people who work there.
How on earth does that kind of place work

Forgot to mention no garbage cans on the streets.
Which surprised me because we link garbage bins to having less litter. How are they so clean without having garbage cans?
@@lxuxu51they brought it to either the closest bin OR worse, their home
@@lxuxu51The majority of people will just carry their trash with them until they find a garbage can which can be found in most convenience stores. Any trash that does end up in the ground is cleaned up pretty quickly by the street cleaners.
It is rude to eat or drink while walking out riding anywhere so people consume on the spot and dump their trash where they purchase it. If they take it some where else, they carry their trash to the find a bin. Japan is so lovely.
@@kris5992 Oh well🤔.
I lived in Japan for three years and I absolutely loved it. I wanna go back so bad.❤
そのお店はプチ贅沢な店だな。
1000円出したら刺身、天ぷら、焼肉、サラダ、焼き魚、そしてご飯味噌汁おかわり自由の定食が食べられます。
Looking to find and eat Poke in the US is very different in the Philippines.
One thing I've noticed about Japanese streets that took me ages to notice: No onstreet parking! I guess there must be indoor garages and parking lots everywhere
that's because we get ticketed if we do that.
Most people don't drive in Japan.
Aw this reminds me of my trip to Germany. Expect we were super small and everyone was tall, so bathrooms were a weird situation 😂 all in all very amazing experience
What are you talking about? Berlin is dirty, full of drug addicts and rude people. Very different from Tokyo.
Amazing vending machine shops with edible foods, articles of clothing, and useful gadgets.
I want to visit so badly!
You are very lovely🥰 thanks for educating us all about the beautiful country of Japan 😊
Omg I live in Texas and when I went downtown a car almost hit me 😭😭 thats why I never go downtown 😄
A lot of generalizing going on in this video…
She is the definition of appeal to ignorance.
Isn't it generalizing to talk about a group of individuals? I've been here for 30 years. What she said is generally all true. I'm never going back to the US.
I would miss the fights tho, the street fights are fucking great😂
Number 10 was awesome😂
have you ever notice how clean the streets are. there's litterally no garbage at all. I'm amazed
I find it funny how Americans are like "whoa it's so safe here I'm not gonna get stabbed or shot" - this is pretty much everywhere in a developed country lol
One thing I like doing in Japan is stuffing my bags into a coin locker and taking the Yamanote line(the green one in the short) and just napping on the train.
That "pokey" mon line was a bar!
Cool place I like the quiet part.
The quality of convenient stores in Japan is light years better than the same store in America. Just compare the Seven/Eleven stores and you will see that the American stores look extremely poor.
yes, 30 Minute drive to Walmart, then go back to your own isolated suburb again
compared to a lot of asian countries, you can walk 3 minutes and will easily encounter a convenient store.
everything is within a walking distance
また日本に来てね♡歓迎します！🇯🇵
booby magazineは草
I really enjoyed being 6’2” when I was there. I could see over everyone’s heads. People were asking for pictures with me. But you don’t fit into any of the seats.
My 19 year old son is planning a trip to Japan next year...😊
I NEVER feel like there is 100% chance I won’t get stabbed in a city.
