What do Japanese people think of foreign countries? I interviewed Japanese people about countries they have been to. Countries they talk about: the UK, the US, Thailand, South Korea, New Zealand, Germany, Laos, the Philippines etc. - บันเทิง

''Trains didn't come on time. That also was in Germany.'' Damn straight. Thank you for traveling with Deutsche Bahn.
The NS in the Netherlands isn't any better let me tell ya
Walwalkn Wewnrkl The Japanese railroads are impressive. The dutch? Not so much.
Walwalkn Wewnrkl Heb je wel weer gelijk in ;)
+Walwalkn Wewnrkl "Actually NS is freaking awesome."
That sentence looks interesting without the context.
hawkhyma How?
"There were more people who looked happy" Dude you went to Oktoberfest of course everyone was happy :D
I'm fucking done
Maybe The Service was SLOW ?
the main reason people are smiling in london was because they would have been tourists from europe or america
Haha I agree. Otherwise Londoners are a grumpy bunch.
Mau
same as nyork erea , brrrrr!
Haha true, maybe its just a big city thing.
Gotta come up north for someone to look happy and welcoming unless you go to far north and end up in scotland
tazzerdevil98
I've been in Scotland and had the time of my life.
So , what are you talking about?
2:46 "British food wasn't for me, I had a stomach ache on the second day"
I feel you bruh
+Uranium Probably too greasy for him, which some of it very well can be. I can't eat takeaways too often either.
+sunnygirly2k4 Well I had the same problem as him when I went to Britain. I was sick because of the food... So now I always bring my own haha
Sorry to read that. What were you eating and what restaurants?
+sunnygirly2k4 I don't remember the restaurant's names but I think that what got me sick was the English breakfast...
Very greasy, no wonder! I think a grilled alternative is sold in some places, but I'd recommend porridge and certain cereals over Full English any day.
In mexico we love foreigners... somehow we feel happy to se visitors in our contry and we try our best to make them feel like home. n_n. In mexico there is a saying... My home is your home.
+DubiaFluctuant De los extranjeros en México he escuchado quejas de que muchos mexicanos no gustan de los estadounidenses. Cuando estuve en México también oí el dicho de ''Cuando Estados Unidos estornuda México dice 'salud''', haciendo alusión a que básicamente México es la perra de USA.
Bueno mi estimado, tambien fijte ue pais es... si te das cuenta EUA es el pais mas odiado del mundo... No es de extrañarse que haya gente que no les uste los estadounidenses, de hecho tengo amigos que son mexico-estadounidenses, y cuando van a europa no dicen ue son Estadounidenses, sino mexicanos porque la gente los trata mejor. Ademas que muchos estadounidenses vivnen con una muy mala actitud y aires de superioridad y grandeza y eso hace que quienes tienen contacto con esa gente detesten a todo estaounidense.
+DubiaFluctuant Mi casa, su casa, andale andale pandejo, passe la pelota para trás
+DubiaFluctuant I have a few mexican friends and they are just amazing. To be honest I really wanna go to Mexico. Seems like a lovely country filled with happy people. I so need to go there!! :))
ranggax16 is mexico more dangerous than for example USA?
3:44 "Lot of rubbish on London Streets", wait until you see Indian cities
Lmao Philippines too
RandomVideos As a Londoner we need to do much better too, but we're getting there!
Varoon I am indian so sure
Abusing? Well I'd say it's a written fact that India isn't the cleanest country. If a foreigner jumped into the Ganges he'd probably die from several diseases.
I know I'm replying to an old video, but there was a reason for the lack of "rubbish bins" in the UK for a long time. They were a prime target for a good 20 years.
Those girls' English was on point! Also, the girl's Spanish was cute :).
Both their English and Spanish had at least one mistake.
@@Bulhakas It's better than my Japanese
I'm from Mexico and it really touched me to hear that lovely view other than negative ones we are used to. love this channel
I like that japanese people are the only people who have the same (or a similar) name for my country as I do myself.
You call us "Doitsu", which when pronounced sounds almost identical to "Deutsch", which is what we call ourselves.
English call us "German", French call us "allemand", Italians call us "tedesco", Polish call us "Niemcy". It all sounds completely different. Only the japanese call us by our real name.
+Neopterix Frosti Well, you are from Germany. Can't complain too much.
+Neopterix Frosti It's kind of funny, because the way Japanese people say England and English are very different than how it's actually called. And it goes without saying that "Japan" is not how it's said in Nihongo.
Aaaahhh, you forgot Belgium. Wait it's French and Dutch here //Hon hon Baguette... Mehh Flemish then, it's also just Duits/Duitsland..
+Neopterix Frosti I used to call you Dutch while speaking English! Like Deutcsch! (Btw I'm from italy) Till someone told me that it's the hollish that are the Dutch. I still call the Hollish as Hollish but I did research and found that the word comes from an aincient Germanic root that more or less means: Related to the Population, ofter used in the language as the (Germanic) Population. Basically referring to one's own population. I wouldn't say that that is your real name, in the sense that the people that used to live in the area of Germany have been many and have assumed different identities in time and the word Deutsch reached even Britain in the form of Theod!
But hey dear Dutchman, I'll keep calling you tedesco and your country Germania!
Dutchman is still The Netherlands.. You mean Deutschman.
The women speaking English were really good!
Yeah. I wa surprised to find their accent better than yuta😅
She’s got a slight American accent which made me laugh
@@finn4012 its because she lived there i think.
She had no shitty accent, impressive!
@Augusto Namaste 🙏
7:35 She lived in the US for a year and she picked up the accent, wow I'm impressed haha (Cause some people still struggle even after years)
Hussam Brainoxious I've never been yet the accent won't go away
i have a german accent wich is very hard to get rid of, but i dont really try.
Holy crap! I did not expect that perfect english accent @7:35 , thought it was a california girl talking for a sec.
I almost flipped, thought the Japanese generally-speaking struggled with english
That's because the operative word there is "generally." Not everybody fits into "generally."
Um...Did you just say that someone with an English accent sounds like they're from California??
@consolegamer4life I know it is but this guy said "English accent" and I was like um no 😂
There are people who can really well adept foreign countries' accent. I know a girl in our English class who had one of the best British accents I have heard from a German person.
I don't get why those girls spoke English. It shocked me because it was so sudden.
He probably cut out the part where he asked them to speak English.
+Jonathan Mcculley it was a nice surprise. her english was unexpectedly good!
+Jonathan Mcculley If you heard the video, it said she lived in the US for a year
+Jonathan Mcculley True, their English are quite fluent actually. Somehow I just don't feel they are those Japanese girls in our imagination.
the girl on the right mentioned Malaysia!! I'm from Malaysia!
"Trains didn't come on time."
Funny, I wasn't sure whether he was talking about the UK or Germany.
Whilst I'm English and i like english food probably because i grew up eating it, i like food from other countries as much if not more, I love chinese food and Ramen, Slouvaki from Greece and Biriyani from India/Pakistan they're the best
Quack Dragon I love all the food you mentioned. Biriyani is so good.
ThatJapaneseManYuta mmmmmmmm food
***** I love Greece, but I've only been once to Kalamata when I was 13. Perhaps they don't know much about it?
***** :( tis ok, i shall be your friend
Black pudding. ( ˘▽˘)っ♨
Someone who likes Mexico... This is a kind of miracle. Due to the bad news about Mexico, I came to think that nobody liked my country.
Cecilia Tapia de hecho a la mayoria de los extranjeros les gusta mexico una vez que lo conocen :) lastima por la inseguridad tan alta
Cecilia Tapia The only bad news I hear is from US media who acts like the whole country from baby to grandma does nothing but produce drugs. The news you hear in Europe are either non-existant or rather positive :)
Bob Bobby Eso es muy cierto, desearía que se pudiera hacer algo para que la gente viera lo amigable que son los mexicanos
Mexico is amazing ! It's my dream to go there !
+Cecilia Tapia I really like the laid back atmosphere, cheap beer, good food, all the bright color walls, and the generally nice people. It is a lot more laid back then here in texas and i can dig it! I just havnt gone back because I have known some people from my small town that had been kidnapped by cartels while there(northern mexico). It is a shame because I would love to visit again one day. Maybe I will visit some of the southern cities eventually I just dont know if they are any safer.?
I just discovered your vids today, and I really like them! It's SOOO interesting to hear Japanese people being honest about their feelings and opinions. I think the fact that you're Japanese makes them more comfortable and more willing to open up. Both the girls speak English very well! They go against the stereotype that Japanese people are bad at English. And I agree that Americans have very strong opinions and like to express them. And Mexican people are very relaxed, happy and friendly :)
LittleLulubee I am american and i think they speak very well too ^^ I am the weirdest american you meet because i think different than alot of people and i wanna travel to japan one day :3
Kaylee Williams
I would love to go to Japan! Hopefully we'll both get to do it someday :)
Kaylee Williams Good luck to you, I also plan to visit japan in two years when I'm 18, a wonderful culture and would be a nice change from England
surprisingly Japannese travel a lot, how do they find time off work?
Brave working folks they sleep 6 hours a day so it's very easy for them.
+d00dz I thought the "Japanese tourist" was a common stereotype?
+d00dz If you noticed, these people seem to have a good education, they have good jobs. I think the traveling Japanese are far from being the majority, also it seems that their company facilitates the traveling.
日本への偏見すごいなw
流石に旅行くらいできると思う。私が恵まれてるだけかもしれないがね
Funny that they "complain" about not having photos in the menus at restaurants, as at least here in Europe the thinking is: "If they have pictures of the food, then it's most likely a bad place to eat"
Germany well-known for beer and late trains. Yup, sounds about right.
saying late train in germany is related to stereotype for all that german in general come to on time,but their trains doesn't. that is why they would be surprised and point it out.
+irrational explosion It's okay because we Germans make fun of our train system as well ^^
Late trains in Germany are very worrying, when one considers that the German culture is known for being very strict when it comes to punctuality!
3:48 DB (Deutsche Bahn) should really be ashamed of that xD
Unfortunately they are ashamed of nothing.
Same here in France, bud. But at least, even if it's late, your trains eventually come :|
I live in Germany and DB is ashamed of nothing. Frequent technical problems leading to delay. The fucking "Störung"...
Well, I've been on holidays in Romania. The train came 2.5 hours late plus it stood 2.5 hours; 20 minutes after it left the station.
No announcement, no indication where you are at the moment (no, there were no signs at the station either, as we were so far in the back), no air-condition, we had to hop down like half a meter, because there was no pavement so far in the back. The station were we arrived was flodded, so we had to go across the rails.
will cost you €45 euro to travel 55 miles from my hometown to London on 40 year old trains that rarely go a top speed of 125mph (201km/h) that are rarely on time. you have to lean out the window to open them from the handle on the outside because there is no handle inside the train door. I saw a French family attempt to alight from the train at Reading station. they were confused for a solid minute before I opened the door for them.
this makes me wonder what they think about Arabian and African countries! I'm from Saudi Arabia, and i don't think a lot of Japanese know much about the food or landmarks, but they might have heard about Dubai or Egypt because they are tourist friendly!
that would make an interesting conversation, i think!
It's really interesting to hear about people's travels, and opinions of other countries. Good video. :)
No that's pretty spot on for Britain ha ha, especially the late trains!! although I've never heard of people eating fish and chips for breakfast!! Might be getting it confused with bacon and eggs maybe. Most people eat toast or cereal for breakfast, and I can't remember the last time I ate fish and chips, too fatty. I love Japanese food but it's hard to find outside of London, and even in London it's not the same as what you get in Japan.
***** I think they also talked about trains being late in Germany haha. Pretty much all the Germans I know (myself included) are punctual, but our trains hardly ever are 😁
As a British guy, I personally love our greasy food. It's important to bear in mind though that the greasy stuff is mostly full English breakfasts and takeaway though. Even to locals, fish and chips is regarded as a greasy takeaway meal. It's not something you typically make at home.
There are lots of household meals that aren't necessarily greasy, but virtually none of our meals are light. Things like bangers and mash, pork pies and shepherd's pie are all standard meals you'd cook up at home. If you were to compare it with other countries meals then our food is mainly simple dishes in comparison to French and Italian cuisine that takes a lot of preparation.
I feel like the main criticism people normally have of British cuisine is fish and chips. Even in the case of full English breakfasts I rarely hear any complaints, despite it normally featuring a lot of fried meat.
If you're interested in trying traditional English household meals then I'd recommend a full Sunday roast, steak and kidney pudding and shepherds pie. Popular products that are widely used outside the UK include Cheddar cheese and English mustard. Marmite is more controversial. Arguably our baking is better received, with scones, Victoria sandwich cakes and christmas pudding all widely enjoyed throughout the world.
More than anything, Britain has a great variety of nice cheese. Cheddar is apparently the most popular cheese in the world, but there are a number of other well received types including Cheshire, blue stilton, red Leicester and cornish brie. There are supposedly over 700 types of cheese native to the UK.
Thanks for sharing such a comprehensive overview of British cuisine. I appreciate your contrasting the prep time required with typical French and Italian meals. When I am indeed hungry, the quicker option will always be my preference.
Cheers from across the pond! 🇺🇸
As an Englishman i have to say its a fair comment on our food. We dont really have any amazing standout meals, BUT we do have some pretty good traditional desserts! Apple crumble is a personal favourite
I really like your videos Yuta! Thanks for making them!
That guy at 0:38 has one of the most friendly faces I have ever seen.
No one likes the traditional cuisine of the Brits. Even the Brits themselves. ROFL
You can't beat a Sunday roast, or a good old full English or Ulster fry, but everyone loves pie and mash. Plus we also have our own curries, and the Scottish batter everything. Have you ever had a mars bar in batter?
Scottish battered fish sounds brilliant, I must say.
(Poor American attempt to sound British.)
tbf traditional british cuisine consists of ready meals and £3 meal deals
Sounds like yankee propaganda to me. Nothing in the world I love more than stew and dumplings, or pie and peas on bonfire night.
Your opinion is very close minded. The Cotswolds which attracts a very large portion of Japanese tourists mainly has British pubs, yet they happily eat and usually enjoy eating there, so try telling that to them. Besides, you clearly haven't enjoyed and hearty day out at the pub before. Sausage and mash with gravy, sheppards pie Yorkshire puddings, very tasty, yes it might not be anytihng special to most, but let's be fair here. Plus, you can't be fish and chips as far as British food goes and that is my favourite meal overall! (This also comming from a 90's kid British person as well).
I really liked the last one " japan as good points and i want to know the good points in other countrues!" mentality, i really love this kind of " curiosity"!
The thing with "ladies first" is that the man does not want to be killed if there is someone behind the door waiting. Better let the girl get hit in the head than the guy.
:-P
+Gego/XAREN ゲゴザレン It's not let me down to date. Lost a lot of good women though.
I'm so glad someone mentioned Guam and Saipan!! Most of our tourists come from Japan but Koreans seem to be visiting more the last couple of years!
That guy's comment about Oktoberfest made me wonder: Are there any German-style beer gardens in Japan? I think it would be interesting to see Japanese girls in Dirndls running around with huge numbers of beer steins. I'd take that over a maid cafe any day.
whoa!!! the girls' english at the end totally surprised me! they spoke really good for living in the usa only one year.
Always love your videos, Yuta! Great work :)
I really appreciate your videos they are really helpfull and interessting for me. I am a german girl and I will be studying the japanese language for about a half year in Japan, so it is quite good to know how to behave or just to get to know some points of the japanese culture.
Thank you!
It's interesting to see that France (especially Paris) isn't the number one destination for Japanese people anymore. I guess it's because this city quality decreased a lot these past 10 years.
MrSmalltie I just came back from a two week visit to Japan, and I would say that the Japanese interest in French culture still exists to some extent. Much of it is related to food like pastries, wine, and high-end dining. The perception that the Japanese have of France - Paris especially - is perhaps too romanticized and idealistic but the fascination is still there.
Google it but there is such a thing called "Paris syndrome". Majority of the Asian tourists in Paris are Chinese.
I think Malaysia is less known among Japanese. But at the end, at least one person mention Malaysia (^_^)
+Cikgu Shikin Funny because I'm actually thinking of visiting Malaysia too.
+That Japanese Man Yuta I'm actually quite shocked there are so many Japanese who went overseas.
I rarely encounter any Japanese when I was studying or travelling overseas and their English are good!
That Japanese Man Yuta
Please come visit Malaysia but it's quite hot nowadays (@_@)
+AlexThinker that's weird.... I've grew up, travelled & lived abroad in 3 different continents huge part of my life and I pretty much see Japanese tourists everywhere haha. Chinese tourists (China) are by far the most I see though haha
+Cikgu Shikin I think because these days ppl have some misconception of muslim countries. But they need to come and experience vacation/life here to realize we are as moderate as we can get as a muslim country. Not many ppl know around 40% malaysians aren't muslims :)
Thanks for the upload !
I really enjoy your videos as they are quite positive and always make me think. Thank you! :)
wow i like how you always do interviews, thats very interesting :) though i find the japanese opinion about japan extremely interesting, but i really want to know how foreigners who live in japan feel about the country :D would be happy to see an interview like that as well :D
keep doing you videos :)!
It was a pleasure to watch this video. Especially the part where the guy says that german trains are not in time. This just made my day, since it is so true :,D
I was not aware that Hawaii was a country 😐
+Noiz L. i think that's what he meant.
+julia nwokedi yep
+TheKnight OfCydonia it feels like it's its own country though. It's like an asian country that just happens to speak english
+beenn15 It also feels like mainstreet America. So it's just a part of America with Asian and Polynesian cultures. American culture is the culture of whatever people happen to live in that part of the USA.
you used the past tense. Hawaii WAS a country, as you said. Until the US stole it...
Man I love these videos. Its always great to hear different perspectives on things :)
Also the two girls there have amazing English! I was really surprised how fluent they were lol
thanks for choosing malaysia!!!!!! you'll enjoy the food here
true
Very nice especially the two lovely young ladies that spoke in English and a little bit of Spanish lol
this is very educational! thank you :D i subbed!
That moment when Hawaii's not a country.
+Jitsu man Yeah but you need to say that. Mainland America and Hawaii are very different places. Plus it's a state which is very close to a country.
+Lazy Spark A states part of a country not even close to being one but I get what your saying
Jitsu man State: a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government. Hawaii can be considered a country as much Scotland and Wales can be.
+Lazy Spark There is a difference between the terms nation, state, and country, even though the words are often used interchangeably.
Country and State are synonymous terms that both apply to self-governing political entities. A state, however, is a group of people who share the same culture but do not have sovereignty.
When the “s” of state is lowercase, it constitutes a part of a whole country, such as the different states of the United States of America. When the “S” of State is uppercase it signifies an independent country.
+Jitsu man it was brought as a state it use to be a country
Thailand has a very big japanese community especially in bangkok and more&more JP come to live there and i know so many thai-japanese kids and famailies so i think go visit bangkok is in near future easier for them since many thais learn japanese nowadays and since theres a LOT of thai-japanese mixed people more&more they will be able to talk with JP tourists since they often grow up with both languages. interesting video , i also liked that laos was mentioned since from what i know many dont even know that country
ThatJapaneseManYuta, you make some great videos! I'm really glad that I found your channel.
Chris Clifford
Ikr? I just found it, too, and I'm really happy about it :)
It's quite interesting video. I am planning to visit Japan real soon
German in japanese apparently means sth like "doitsu" thats funny cause the pronounciation is as close as it get to "deutsch" which means german in german. Thats weird cause germany has many different names in different languages and specifically a language spoken on the other side of the globe uses the original name
I loved London. I visited my sister studying abroad there! (From US) I've always been a fan of the history and the nightlife was great. The food, sadly, did leave much to be desired. We ate italian almost every night XD
Hawaii is my favorite country
Cthulu Nebuchadnezzar lol
Cthulu Nebuchadnezzar is that supposed to be a sarcasm? or you are just plain.... 😂😂😂😂😂
Hawaii is my city
You are making really funny challenge for local japanese people who are happy and really surprised by your unusual questions.... Thank you for intersting videos. Good luck! Best wishes from Ukraine!
Another great video!
I really had to laugh at the comments about "British Food" because that really does depend on which part of the UK you're in eg. Different countries - Scotland etc and again, what region of all the different countries within the UK you visit - it's all vastly different. (I'm from Scotland)
I do agree that fish and chips can be pretty greasy, so it would be a pretty big adjustment for people that aren't used to heavier, greasy foods.
I would love to know if many Japanese people are interested in visiting Scotland? I wonder if there has been more interest, since the Drama 'Massan' aired?
0:06 Did you heared that hawaii! You aren't a US state anymore, you just became a country! :O
ikr lol
Lol 😂😂😂
Do you expect Japanese people to memorize their states and territories? How about we ask you stuff about some random country, and if you get it wrong you will be criticized. Fair?
Daniel Semi How many states does Germany have? And which is the smallest?
Did you meant something like that?
IMPERATOR No, because you are German.
I'm a British Bengali or bangladeshi whatever you want to call me born and raised in England like many others from different cultures. The part about rubbish on the streets is right because there aren't enough bins closely around to put them in so people just litter then the government just cleans them up. Did the Japense realise not only White people living in the UK but quite a lot of people from different backgrounds alking amongst each other. That is something Japan doesn't have much of and I think it's nice for people to be friends with others
Hey, the videos are very interesting! I know it would probably a pain in the ass for you, but if you could add Japanese subtitles for people who teach themselves the language such as myself, that would be really useful and we´d be very grateful. Your translations are spot on (from what I understand at least). I love the fact that you can hear REAL Japanese on your videos, the way it is spoken naturally, with all its pauses and melodic patterns. Anyway, good luck with your channel!
Have you done one about locals' favorite FOREIGN food? :) Nice video! Thanks for sharing
The guy who is talking at the end of the video is very open-minded and curious about other realities. I like him
very interesting answers :)
I'm in Britain, and I think our cuisine is boring! I often eat dishes influenced by other cultures, and I think that is true for a lot of British people. We love our Indian, Italian, and Chinese foods here, and I personally favour Japanese food, because it is more interesting to me.
I like how many Japanese people are so open to learn other cultures. As an american women, I find Japanese culture fasanating.Great video!!
Good interview.
The girl talking about Mexico brought a smile to my face
Wow, the girl at 7:40 has really good English. Almost perfect American accent too.
I Am God
Yeah ikr
To be honest i agree with a lot the other comments about British food, we have a variety of different food cultures which make up our pallet such as Sunday Roasts with Chicken, lamb, pork or beef, Curries ( Korma is a British dish) Sausage and Mash potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, we have a large Pie culture too . there is also my all time favourite dish gammon and fried egg ( yumm)
Personally, I would love to visit Japan.
It seems like such an awesome place to visit!
HAWAII isn't a COUNTRY!!!!! It's a freaking STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😱😱😰😨😭😩😳😵😶😑😐
xxxDarkJewelxxx lol i thought the same thing
Kaleilei S. I think people disassociate places when they arent geographically connected like if someone when to alaska that would say that rather then I went to the US. My friend took a trip to Britain and when he told me about it he said he was in the UK and northern Ireland even though Northern Ireland is a part of the UK
xxxDarkJewelxxx It was a country before US seized it through force.
Imhornydadcomeinside ok? but today it's still a state.
Megan I They have their own history ad culture so it's not confusing that people mistake it for a country. Also morally they SHOULD be a country, they were forced into the union throuh aggression and the island is racially segregated and the white people have most of the say.
Hey Im turkish living in germany and I wanne visit Japan one day.I think the people are awesome :)
Nice Video!
Wow, see the background, how clean and beautiful their city is. Not one piece of trash on the ground and green trees and flowers everywhere.
I just hope that there should be more Japanese people like them. Open minded and ready to learn and explore different cultures, foods, etc.
I would love to go to Japan, I am Mexican but lived in America pretty much my whole life and I've only ever traveled between Mississippi and small part of Mexico it would be cool if I could go to Japan 😄🇯🇵✈ I would like to see how it is like
Osanzi -
Your profile pic is my wallpaper😍
Osanzi - same
Mexico wow im really surprised. .it makes me feel warm that someone else likes Mexico (iam Mexican )
+Sloth Style cringe Everyone loves Mexico. It's not a surprise. And me too :)
+Estefania Gomez YOUR MY BEST FRIEND KNOW 😁
I'll take that challange, Yuta! ;P We have a LOT of Japanese tourists in Norway and Sweden, so here's a few tips: Norway: Many are shocked about the prices in Norway, but as in most countries there are tourist traps with high prices and big food stores with prices you may be more used to in Japan. Do your research. Norwegians may seem a bit cold but they are only affraid to bother you, so if you start to talk with hem they will be very happy. I would point out five highligts for you as a Japanese: 1. Stavanger is Norways oil town, but the former fishing city, is screened from cars and absolutely wonderful to spend a weekend in. The old town (Gamle Stavanger) is still the way it was in the 18th Century and has a cool canning museum where you even get to taste the canned fish. Close by is the amazing Lysefjord with the preacher's chair. The boat will take you there, and if you are affraid of heights you can see it from underneeth in the boat instead. Close by the airport is also a really nice sand beach. 2. Oslo: Oslo is changing fast and getting very exciting as far as arcitecture. Check out Aker Habour (Aker brygge), The Vigeland's park, The Castle, The Viking museum with real Viking ships, The Much museum and more. You can stay at a hotel but amny in the city DO rent out their appartment or just a bedroom. 3. Whale Safari (photo only): Along the coast line we have a lot of whales and dolphins (do NOT talk about the killing of Dolphins in Japan) (you'll find some of them here: no.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g190455-Activities-c61-t188-Norway.html. 4. The northern lights (magical) You can find info in the same link as under number 3. Keep in mind though that you could be unlucky and arrive when it's cloudy, but in the far North they have a big cinema that will bring you close to the experience - if it's cloudy. 5. Hurtigruten is a boat running along the west coast and in good weather it's pure blizz and paradise. With whales, dolphins, utters, seals, eagles and beautiful sceneries. BUT It's VERY expensive and you need to pre-book. 6. Underwater Restaurant. In Lindesnes the Underwater restaurant (south in Norway) will now open. 7. The 17th of May is the Norwegian natinal day and it is amazing. It's starts early though so do not sleep too long at the hotel. Dress nicely. Sweden: Sweden is less expensive and here are some tips: 1. Stockholm is a beautiful town painted in red earth collors. The Old City (Gamla Stan) is especially popular among japanese tourists with it's narrow stone paved streets and small stores. It is also where you buy your souvenirs. Also vist Djurgården with it's tivoli and zoo. If you want a sightseeing feel free to contact me here and I'll show you around for free if I have the time. :) 2. Ice hotel: In the north you'll find a hotel created ONLY frm ice in the winter. It is pure magic and rebuilt every single year. 3. Kosterhavet National Park: Sweden has - as Norway do - a beautiful coastal line, and this park is a good place to experience the Swedish one. 4. Northern lights - again: Also in Sweden you can catch the Northern ligts - anywhere in the far north. Naturally both countries have many more sights. You can feel free to snog your sweetheart in the streets without people reacting - straight or gay. Do not play music loudly on your phone. Racist, homophobic or sexist remorks will NOT be popular. Feel free to eat on the street but always throw garbage in the bin. Do not use your phone in the cinema, smile and nod back when people smile and nod - they often do if you meet their eyes when passing them. If you do not react they will see it as very rude. Feel free to shake hands and hug people you spend time with - we are quite physical. Do not smoke or drink in public, be kind to animals, notice that Saturday the stores close early and Sundays they are closed. Feel free to ask questions!
Woah i really admired those girls who acknowledge Philippines and are onto Cebuano's. :) SUGOI!
the girl that mention Mexico is right about them, Mexicans smile although they have bad days and stuff like that. They are totally different to the Mexicans that live in the U.S. :/
wait whats wrong with the mexicans who live in the US
You're Not Quirky or Special nothing, this guy is an asshole
ウジエル I live in the U.S. 10 years and I found out that first and second generation Mexican Americans were just like the Mexicans smiling and partying through anything but third and fourth generation were cold as ice. Im currently back in the U.S. but thank goodness im in San Diego CA.
I'd wanna live in Japan because the people and culture are so cool and i love the scenery from the videos on TH-cam 😄
Living in Japan is awesome, unless you can't speak Japanese it will be difficult. Most Japanese cannot speak English or any other language. So my advice if you wanna live here, i suggest studying Japanese first. I live here in Tokyo and the first months were dreadful because I couldn't speak the language. But i took a year of extensive Japanese school. So I'm doing ok, but there are times that are still really difficult for me, especially when it comes to filling out paperwork and stuff. But do come visit Tokyo. It is safe and very lively
+Esilong Ngiraiwet sage lively and don't forget lovely the scenery the variety of people
Oh, there is never a interviewed person that came to Brazil! I'm pretty used to encounter japanese people in Brazil and help them get directions, I remember one girl that wanted to go somewhere that I didn't know how to get there and I was asking with her in the streets till we get to the place, she was really thankful. I would laugh if I see someone in your videos that I helped before lol.
Nice video as always, keep up the good work~
Lucas Colares arent there Brazilians of Japanese descent?
Stanley Guzman Go back to school. You obviously didn't avail in classes. But if you did, then your education system's shit.
Stanley Guzman yes there are some, but in the state I live there are not many... And there are a lot of japanese descendants that can't understand even a little bit of japanese, and could not help the tourists at all... But there is a state in Brazil that have a REALLY LARGE japanese community, but I do not live there unfortunately :(
***** wat why so mad
Lucas Colares I apologize.
That was awesome Yuta San im Sendin this Video to my friend Masa in Tokyo. He’s been to so many places ! He loves Mexican culture and food como tú
I am British English and I can understand how someone who is coming from a culture with a vegetable and fish based diet could find the food in Britain very stodgy because it is based mainly around carbohydrates, such as bread and potatos. If you do go to Britain you should definitely try to eat a 'Sunday Roast' or a sausage roll from Greggs as they are very nice.
We also don't use as many spices or herbs in out cooking other than salt and pepper, so it could taste very bland if someone from say, India where lots of spices are used, were to eat our cuisine.
Most Japanese food is not very salty and they hardly ever use butter or animal fat, so a lot of European cooking in general is either too greasy or too salty for them.
"I didn't know what traditional British food was, so I ended up eating Chinese food." So, basically, traditional British food. :D
日本も同じですｗ
ts good to hear honest opinions!
well i have meet many foreigner ( i'm french) but what i remember and liked the most was meeting japanese people, i'm always in search for more knowledge in any country culture and langage but it was mostly japanese tourist or japanese meet online who was not "limited" about corecting my wrong spelling or liking my knowledge about japanese myth and giving me even more knowledge about that! i love to learn and it was always really interesting! the only thing i would like " more" is to meet more japanese people and befriend them so that we can speak about our own culture each other and learn from each others!
What they say about the American mentality is totally true.
„British food wasn’t for me“ I feel this guy!😆
True that in at least some countries they refuse to put photos of meals in their menus. A real positive point about Japan.
Come to Malaysia!!!! So happy that the lady mentioned it.
@7:41 Wow, her accent was super American! A+ language skills.
The food in the UK isn't the best in the world, but I wouldn't say it was bad. I've lived in countries with a lot worse and blander food than the UK has. I think a lot of tourists are far too preoccupied with fish and chips without realizing that it's just fast food and that British people don't eat it all the time or even that often.
I like it, good honest answers.
I was born and raised in London but have never been to Japan. I would really like to see the more traditional side of japan and their cultural practices. Kabuki, tea houses, sumo and learn more about their shinto and bushido philosophy. Is this still practiced in Japan? Great video though!!!
thank you
her english at 7:36 is great :o
Yeah, I was surprised by how natural it sounded! I think nowadays more Japanese people try to imitate American accents and lose what's known as "katakana English".
rencrow so? I know ppl that lived in a english speaking country for 15 years and they still got the most terrible accent... so that fact don't say much. I know some asians that lived in sweden and usa for years, they still cant speak properly
+Annie W Not asians tho, but a guy from armenia, who has lived here (sweden) for about 4 years and he speaks fluent swedish :) It depends on the person if he/she got the intrest of learning the language of the country they live in. Another guy at my work whos from syria, has lived here almost 30 years, he has the heaviest accent ever and cannot write swedish without misspelling and doesnt understand everything we say. Prime examples of this :)
kiissemiss yes? thank you for that information... I am not the one that said it was obvious that her english would be good due to the fact that she lived in the states for a year? o.o
+Annie W I agree. A lot of the English in the video was really good. I teach English in Japan and one small thing that jumped out at me is when she said "cause." Its the little things that makes someone a good speaker.
ゆたさんこんにちは！
First of all I want to say that I really enjoy watching your videos. They are very interesting.
And I think it would be fun to see you interview some unique stylish people sometime around Tokyo. Maybe asking them questions about their style or something.
Best Regards and Stay Awesome!
Really nice to see! +1
08:00 the man with the guitar looked so confused xD
No one mentioned the Netherlands again haha. I guess it's easily overlooked or mixed up with Germany (or seen as part of) Would be interesting to see what people will say about the Netherlands :)
Nice video btw, interesting answers!
tytube3001 and windmills.
Windmills are everywhere now, so that's a fail.
Pot heads are everywhere, so that is another fail.
'Cyclists freaks' as you describe them are everywhere, and yes even in America and Japan. So another fail.
You both try to troll, yet fail to understand how to do so. My question is not a bad one in any way, so behave for a change.
SIG442 It was a poor attempt at humor on my part. I apologize.
However, in my defense, when I typed "Holland" into Google and executed an image search, guess what were the first 20 pictures that came up. Tulips and windmills with a few pictures of the canals mixed in. That doesn't happen when I search "France" or "Norway."
Alan Falleur It's a stereotypical image many people have. Yes there are many windmills, because there is no space for nuclear plants everywhere like in the US. Yes there are many flowers that get sold oversees, because other nations keep asking for them. Yes there are wooden shoes, mostly for tourists alone and the occasional stubborn Dutch farmer.
'Holland' is actually also in-accurate. 'Holland' stands for one of 2 Provinces, 'Noord Holland' or Zuid Holland, or a town called that name. The nation is called Nederland, not Holland ;)
A mistake pretty much all non-Dutch people make because of what their schools teach and they don't pay attention it seems (or the schools teach the wrong things).
If someone called the entire USA, 'Texas', that wouldn't be accurate either would it. Actually would upset and anger most Americans. As Dutch person myself I can just laugh at how people fail really. Yet it gets really annoying.
SIG442 Interesting, but I think it's more like the practice of saying "England" when in fact the speaker means "United Kingdom." It's pretty hard to confuse Texas with the rest of the United States.
Anyway, we should petition Yuta to do a word association game with different countries and see what the Japanese people say. I'll make the following prediction.
USA - Statue of Liberty (I'll also accept New York)
Canada - maple syrup
Netherlands - tulips
i would agree on the woman who said cebu island was unsafe. alot of druglords and drugpushers over there.
Don't forget terrorist organizations such as Abu Sayyaf. They are in the lower islands of the Philippines.
The thing I feel more anxious about when travelling is the food and I don't even have to leave my country (Portugal) to feel that way. When I went to France and Spain I'd always ordered the most "normal" dish because I was afraid I might dislike it, and I don't want to take the risk because I feel bad when I leave food on my plate
i live in cebu city. it's a very overpopulated metropolitan so it's a given, considering it's in a developing nation. it's so impressive how japanese people are very well traveled.
