pretty sure he asked a yes/no question, so "is the portion big?" answer by connor: "yes" while actually asking "can i eat 2 portions?" and the answer was "yes" lol
To be honest from consuming Korean/Japanese media it's pretty easy to spot the difference between a Japanese and a Chinese man. Not like you couldn't make a mistake. Just as you could very well mistake one EU nationality for another, but it's really not as hard as you might think if you don't interact with Asians much.
@@Dhdjksjsnsnsnnsnsna I would say that fashion does accounts for a large part of how you differentiate between people from different countries, so if you are Chinese by origin, but grew up somewhere else it will be harder to tell where exactly you are from.
Not a European thing that much, you technically can but vast majority don't do it. I highly doubt it's a japanese thing too with how much respect is in their culture.
@SeanSMST idk about western europe, but taking leftover home is big in eastern europe, especially if its a at least half of the amount left, i payed for that, im not gonna force myself to eat it, and i;m also not going to leave it there, it cost money (and it's restaurant food)
Also German pricing is very clear, unlike the US, if you sum up just the numbers next to what you ordered. that's what you are expected to pay. And extras delivered to your table without asking are already included in that. So no surprise charge for the bread basket or something like that. In I think Slovak restaurants it's even typical that you get a free ouzo after the meal. In Turkish ones sometimes black tea.
Hofbräuhaus is such a tourist trap, even for germans.... almost 2 decades ago, I went there with family for a day trip. we went in for the vibes and get a Maß of beer. Right next to our table there was a small guy, similar to this story (though at that time I couldn't say whether he was chinese, korean or japanese, and my memory of him is not precise enough to retroactively say). Anyways, he was completely ignored by the waitresses for over half an hour, and got served only after my father reminded one of the staff that they have another customer at that table .... a bit after he ordered his Maß, he got one that looked even worse than the ones we had gotten (ours were about a third of foam, but his was more like half)
Oh boy, knowing the serving sizes at the Hofbräuhaus and other beer gardens that is insane. To put it into perspective those portions are often enough to feed two people and it’s not exactly diet food and it sometimes comes with extra side dishes like salad or potatoes. Poor guy. Btw Hofbräuhaus is definitely a bit more on the touristy side but you will see a lot of locals too.
Don't worry, he wouldn't have had a worse evening and next day than western tourists getting duped into eating raw chicken "delicacy" in Japan at some restaurant that just ranks well on google maps but poorly on local yellowpages.
Very nice situation at 1st, i wish i could have seen (i can picture a loud place, confused people with one having a bit of broken japanese and ending with a false success)
I wish I could feel comfortable enough in my 2nd language to help someone out. I can read it, write it, and understand others speaking it, but the part of my brain that needs to me speak the words just goes haywire. It's weird. We have a few clients who struggle with English so I tell them they can speak to me in French and I might answer in English, or French if I'm lucky. Seems to work. I know just enough Japanese to say good morning, thanks, and where's the toilet. Planning a second trip in a couple of years, might need to review some nihongo.
If I was that guy, I would've given some piece of sausages to conner while saying "tasukete kudasai" with the most miserable facial expression I could muster
That's the thing with foreign languages. You may speak the language, but the unspoken implications can differ across cultures. I have a theory that's why Anglophone countries and Russia don't get along. Russians may speak English, but they don't think English. They speak English while still thinking Russian, and vice versa.
IDK if it's really a language thing. I am friends with three Finns and their language is apparently rather unique, with the only major language of the same branch being Hungarian. Their English is totally normal. I think culture plays a much bigger role.
@Kenionatus To a certain extent I agree with you. But where do you draw the line between language and underlying culture? If culture has no part in language how could we say such things as 'they had an unspoken agreement'? You may think you fully understand your Finnish friends, but do you really? There's a video of Richard Feynman on youtube where he talks about how he discovered even a close colleague of his measured the duration of 1 minute differently. What evidence are you basing your belief that you fully understand how other people's minds work on?
You are very right mon ami. The difference in expectations and way of thinking can be huge. For instance in France we usually say that everything that isn't allowed is banned, which is the reverse in the USA. Or how it is dirty to talk about money in catholic countries while sex is fine, the american protestant puritan culture standing in stark opposition.
2:25 OH NOOOOO, your guts are not indestructable, you cant force them too hard, you might end up feeling very sick or even dying! If you die even from too much water i bet the same must be for food. But i must say that he probably got himself in that situation by ending up in germany without language knowledge and communication skills. He should have went in an asian friendly place and searched better beforehand.
He should have asked for the food to go but that's not really a thing in most Japanese restaurants so he likely wasn't familiar with the practice. You could possibly die from rupturing your stomach although that is very rare, most people just vomit when they've had way too much and stop.
Welsh TH-camr speaks Japanese and helps a foreigner in Germany.
Mr. World Wide
This reads like one of those "White Boy Orders Bahn Mi in Perfect Vietnamese, Shocks Everyone" video titles
He probably used english as well
more like trolls japanese man
...by recommending a Hungarian dish to him
Extra world wide
That man is 50kg no longer
Man ate 5kg of sausage by the sounds of it
Even in german he got nihongo jouzued
By the end he was like "do you really speak japanese???" feeling betrayed 😂
Conner stuffs japanese man with sausages right in the middle of a German bar.
in front of my salad?!
I've read that fanfic, I think. 5k, had 'extremely dubious consent' as one of the tags, inspired some lovely fanart...
Even if Connor misunderstood, he still did say it was big so...
That's what I was thinking. If Connor did say the portions were big, that should have clued the guy in.
The guy was probably thinking "Japanese Big" not "Germany Big"
maybe there person was asking what size to order, and he said big.
@@PatLund If he thought JP big he wouldn't have asked I don't think
pretty sure he asked a yes/no question, so "is the portion big?" answer by connor: "yes"
while actually asking "can i eat 2 portions?" and the answer was "yes" lol
Hofbrauhaus might technically be a tourist trap, but I had good food and beer with live music for what I paid. I loved it
True, as a Swede I found the prices very reasonable for the amount you get on the plate.
Are you really touristing if you don't go to at least one trap?
locals go there as well (at least the Stammtischler), so I think while it's touristy it might not be that trappy
@@rafagd You have to visit at least one.
@ I’m inclined to agree. I went in August and only ran into a handful of people who weren’t local
What would be even worse would be if he thinks he sees a Japanese man confused at the menu and he goes to speak to him and he's Chinese.
Chinese/Japanese people are easy to recognize...

@@ExPotato6000ye? so explain to me why my fellow 华人s didnt recognise me as one of them in japan? 🙄
@@Dhdjksjsnsnsnnsnsnait’s like trying to pick out a Frenchman in England, unless you hear them speak you will never know

me just now realizing bro was visiting the city i live in damn🧍♀️
Same haha
Go help the nihongo. He might still be eating.
The poor Japanese man doubled his body weight that day
That's good, that'll help him get through the Hokkaido winter.
Guy was like: I'm not wasting food
im just as confused, if i asked if the portions are big and someone said yea, what else could that mean
Also japanese KNOW oversea portions are bigger (especially america). Bro was not thinking out his meal plan a, b, then c. Went straight a to c.
That is why you just take the remainder with you, but most are not used to doing that.
Not a European thing that much, you technically can but vast majority don't do it. I highly doubt it's a japanese thing too with how much respect is in their culture.
@SeanSMST I am european and it is done sometimes, definitely not a japanese thing, but their portions are also much smaller
@SeanSMST As fellow European being German, i take every leftover of every member at the table home
@SeanSMSTit is a European thing tho. You can easily ask if you can take the remaining stuff.
@SeanSMST idk about western europe, but taking leftover home is big in eastern europe, especially if its a at least half of the amount left, i payed for that, im not gonna force myself to eat it, and i;m also not going to leave it there, it cost money (and it's restaurant food)
That guy must have been so happy to have found a friend there. An ally to help him through his struggle. Only to be betrayed in the end 😭
Earnestness it’s on the Japanese man, surely he saw the prices from ordering two plates and thought he either getting scammed or buying a Chonker.
Also German pricing is very clear, unlike the US, if you sum up just the numbers next to what you ordered. that's what you are expected to pay.

@@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece a shot of free liqour is also very common in german restaurants. Maybe not hofbrauhaus but others defintely.

New Title: Welsh man gets Japanese man stuffed in Germany
impeccable title
That Japanese man remembered his parents telling him to always finish his food 😂
Connor, the real Nihongo Jouzu hero~ comin' in clutch!
Japanese bro went to Germany spoke Japanese to a Welsh bro then became an American bro
Oh boy, knowing the serving sizes at the Hofbräuhaus and other beer gardens that is insane.

He should just be clueless when the japanese guy stare back at him, and smile and gives him a thumbs up.
Connor having a food poisoning AoE is hilarious
Went from 50 to 55kg real quick
Don't worry, he wouldn't have had a worse evening and next day than western tourists getting duped into eating raw chicken "delicacy" in Japan at some restaurant that just ranks well on google maps but poorly on local yellowpages.
Even in a single sausage there are 7 gods

I'm assuming that you can take out food in Hofbrauhaus, unlike in some restos in Japan. He should've just told the Japanese guy about it. lol
Damn I didn’t know Connor was the Bay Harber Nihongo Jouzuer
Canur the bulk enforcer
Dr. Tenma meets British welsh man in Germany
Oh hell naw, someone with the Mottainai motto ordering too much food for their own good, oh hell naw.
This story might be useful for work, so i'll make notes.
Conner trolls random tourist confirmed
If I was that guy, I would've given some piece of sausages to conner while saying "tasukete kudasai" with the most miserable facial expression I could muster
Uuh I went to a Brauhaus very near to that one and had Haxen and Beer. It was so good 😌
I mean to your credit you did say they were big
I am from Munich, sure there are better places but Hofbräuhaus is not that bad. Been to way worse tourist traps around the world
That japanese man must've been like, you westerners are out your gord for eating these gigantic portions, that would explain obesity in western lands.
I've seen plenty of fat Asians, relax.
When did you visit Munich? I assume you left already?
White boy swag
Yo Phenderna remix goes haaaaaard
He gained proper weight ig
does it really count as helping him?
To be honest all of Munich is a tourist trap 😅
Cant believe connor was this close to me and I didnt even know
That’s like going to Japan for Benihana. We got Hofbrauhaus in frickin Ohio.
Hofbräuhaus is not a chain. You may have something called "Hofbräuhaus" in Ohio, but you've also got a "Paris" in Texas.

I feel so guilty as a german how bad of a time foreigners have here.
There really aren't enough warnings of how bad of a place Germany is.
I had a good time in Berlin, even got to chat with the chap running the wall museum.
The best part is obviously the technology museum.
what kind of miserable person are you. holy shit. Germany can be an amazing tourist destination.
