What’s my favorite country? Actually I was in Sydney, Australia and Bangkok, Thailand this week. I liked Sydney more than I expected! It was safe, clean and peaceful. Nothing crazy like Bangkok but I can imagine myself living there in the future. And I love Thailand. So energetic and chaotic but the people are so warm. (especially compared to people in Tokyo) And I’m planning to live in Bangkok for a month this year!
As a Thai myself, I'm glad to hear that you love Thailand! I actually want to move to Tokyo and work there though lol (I've been studying Japanese for that purpose, and I'm almost there!). I know you'd advise against it, but I love Japan enough that the down sides don't bother me. In fact I've lived there before and I loved it! Anyway, hope you have a fun time in Bangkok!
Glad to know you had a great time in Bangkok. Hope you get to visit other cities when you come back. I recommend Krabi and Nan if you prefer somewhere more local and less chaotic 😊
As a Thai, I'm quite sure that if you do an interview people here. They will definitely say that they like Japan. But this video makes me surprise that many Japanese love our country also, Thank you.
タイを好きでいてくれて本当に嬉しい🥹 If you interview Thai people, maybe half of them would say Japan is their favorite too. You would hear Thai people say Mai Pen Rai (it’s ok, don’t worry) a lot. It’s the society that won’t mind if you fail. You can be yourself, do as you like and I’ll do the same, it’s not a big deal. While Japanese people care about others and make sure they won’t cause troubles. So their personality contrast but in a good way. 😆 I grew up in Bangkok but if I need to choose the city to live in Thailand, I’d go for Chiang Mai. If you have a chance, please check it out.
I never thought I'd see India ever get mentioned in any videos like these! Not being that cringy Indian who just comments under any video with India in it, but this is actually so rare for Japanese people to feel like visiting India in my experience! The guy's mindset was so fresh! Thank you so much Takashi san for having such a varied set of responses!!
Yeah, most Japanese people like India only for food and curries, but they usually don’t really like Indians. They don’t usually like brown people, specially the younger generations. This goes for Pakistanis too. If you’re a good looking Pakistani or Indian they will like you😂But this hugely varies from region to region even in Japan. Love from your neighbor though💚 🇵🇰
And here i though india has good image in the mind of Japanese because we have good relationship with their government 🙏 if someone did a same interview here i am sure a lot of people are gonna say japan and korea 🐁
I always enjoy listening to Japanese. I like to try to hear the few words and phrases I actually know and then try to look up more that I don’t know. It’s so pleasant to listen to though.

I've been fortunate enough to have spent majority of my 20-30's traveling around the world as a teacher, and the best country that I personally ever visited was Japan. It is the only country that left me feeling so incredibly happy and gave the upmost desire to be a better person to others and myself. If you have never been to Japan, I would recommend you going. It is an experience that will remain with you forever.

Thank you very much Takashi-san for mentioning Indonesia when the lady talk about Bali 😅😅 most people only know Bali as a country, even though it is an island and a province, the country is Indonesia 😊
Sejujurnya emg agak ngeselin sih, denger org² luar ditanyain pengen ke negara apa misal, dan mrk jawab Bali, pdhl Bali masih bagian dari Indonesia. Cuma ya mau gimana lagi kan? Entah bener apa enggak, cuma setauku org² tu pd kurang bagus aja gitu geografinya 😅😢
Even the Japanese consider Bali as a country like westerners, this proves how strong Balinese culture is that Indonesia doesn't have. So it's only natural if we call Bali as a country😆
It's not a political statement. It's said in the same manner as HK, Guam, Saipan, Hawaii, and Bali. We know that HK is China, Guam/Saipan/Hawaii is US territory, and Bali is Indonesia. But it's also true that we differentiate these places. Bali's unique culture and people is the reason why Bali has always been popular.
I always smile towards the Japenese folk living in Sydney, I love them ❤️ Just the other day, I was walking down York St, and noticed a young Japanese lady walking in the opposite direction with her phone pointed toward her face. TH-camr I thought to myself, so I waved my fingers and blew her a kiss. She was as beautiful as a butterfly in my eyes. She’ll probably edit me out of her video lol
Was interested to hear a Japanese guy say that Australian cities might be intimidating, given our cities are like small towns compared to the larger Japanese cities :P But I do understand how he feels, I've always lived in very rural areas, I find Sydney and Melbourne kind of intimidating too.
Yeah I don't get that either what is intimidating about it the Australians i meet of vacation seem pretty laid back maybe it more a language barrier since most Japanese are only taught written English.
Lol Sydney humans... not sydney as a city. The city itself is beautiful 🙏🏽And I wouldn't say intimidating... just highly abrasive and on their own mission all the time...
Perhaps he meant that it may not feel safe for foreigners/Asians. I travel a lot in Asia (two days back from 9 weeks in Vietnam), and the Sydney race riots are still something people discuss and consider when traveling.

This was my favourite video from you! Takashii is awesome! One guy mentioned Wong Kai Wai and Takashii suggested Chungking Express, which also happens to be my favourite movie ❤ Love from India :)
I almost never hear anyone mention Wong Kar-wai anywhere, as a huge fan of him, it was pretty awesome to see him name dropped and Takashii even recognizing what film he has directed.
American here. I've been to Australia 🇦🇺 and fell in love with it. The people are so friendly and the beaches ⛱️ are beautiful. I also love Italy 🇮🇹 where you just can't find a bad meal, plus I love European history. I'd love to visit Switzerland 🇨🇭 with the Alps ❤
Japanese people do really travels a lot huh but to hear their favorite countries is an interesting subject and also that half filipino half japanese is a cutie
I’m American and I couldn’t help but laugh when the girl said she wanted to visit the US because she likes places with nice beaches like Guam and Hawaii. Although Guam is a US territory, I’m positive most people in the US have no idea where Guam is, or even What Guam is, let alone that it’s a US territory. I’m glad she does know though. And even Hawaii is so different from any of the rest of the US. I sincerely hope she makes her dreams come true :-)
Yeah I actually laughed out loud😄 I feel like most of the younger generations recognize those places as captured territories that have their own unique cultures and landscapes which you don’t experience in the majority of the “lower 48,” which is why we vacation there too.
I am from Philippines and I am now in Japan for work.. definitely Philippines is the best place to go because of their hospitality and nice aura for all foreign people..come and see the beautiful country Philippines ❤
Japanese people are kind, but Asian discrimination is terrible. There are people who discriminate especially against short people, people with dark skin, people with low intelligence, and people from poor countries.

@@vifcoz I'm Japanese. I'm 162cm, have relatably darker skin as Japanese, raised in a poor family and now failed to go to a college. But I'm still alive and have never been disrespected by people.
Takashii, you made a pretty funny mistake in the subtitles! At 5:42, the guy said he went to "Varanasi", which you obviously heard as ヴァルナ市 (Varna City), since you wrote it as Varna in the subtitles...
varanasi, if i’m not mistaken, is where the dead relatives of a family got cremated and taken afloat to the ganges river, right? there’s just something both eye-opening and chilling looking at the bodies turned to ash
Just stumbled on this channel and I love it, and I love your interviews. I am an American from Ohio (midwest) and I have always admired the kindness of Japanese people who I meet and work with here, I hope to be able to visit Japan someday. Again, I have enjoyed your videos tremendously, thank you for your content! It has been quite educational to my American mind.
I was pleased to see a diversity of places mentioned by the Japanese people interviewed here. When I lived there many years ago, everybody wanted to go to France. None of these other places would have been mentioned.
It is true that France has been a country that we Japanese have longed to visit, but the news coming in from France these days is all about demonstrations, crimes, and anime, so the image of France for Japanese people has changed from "a wonderful tourist spot with beautiful and historical buildings" to "a country that represents the chaos of immigration in Europe. Unfortunately, Japanese have lost interest in France
This was a great advertisement for Thailand! Haha people seem to really love it there. I want to go now. And I laughed at the guy who said he liked China because of Wong Kar Wai films because I’m the same way 🤣
Wow so nice to see someone loving Belgium and them living there. I'm from Belgium and it's such a small country that usually many people don't even know what it is xD
2:16 Takashi is really interested in what people say and think, it's not just for TH-cam. Can see it by that delay in giving a microphone to the girl in pink.
As a belgian, I can’t actually believe someone said Belgium. I guess the idea that someone from Japan even knows that Belgium exists is pretty cool to me, let alone that they have been there :))
I liked that Canada was mentioned due to snow, lol. It seems to me that Canada was popular for Japanese tourists in the late 80s and early 90s, and seems to have dropped off a lot in the 2000s.
I appriciate your work and the videos you upload Takashii! The only thing I dont like about "what is your favorive country" videos is that its too predictable. Not like its a bad thing tho, people have the right to love what they want, but at the same time it would feel nice to hear someone from so far away liking my own country as well. But again this is not a quality problem, I love your videos, just wanted to say it. Huge love from Hungary 🇭🇺
Indonesia has 17,000 islands. A beautiful country like Indonesia is something that Traveling likes. Indonesia has complete beauty, has beautiful mountains, oceans, eternal snow and places of prehistoric life.
@@Reypunk666 Indonesia is not an Islamic country like Arab countries, even though Indonesia adheres to the largest Islamic religion in the world it is because it has been customary since ancient times, and the people in Indonesia are very tolerant of other religions. so no need to be afraid to come and visit Indonesia, buddy!!
In next year I’m going to travel through Japan and I hope I’ll get through your interview. I think it’ll be one of my favourite activities I’m from Poland
I am grateful that some Japanese people say that they like Korea. I also like Japanese animation and food. There are many people in Korea who like Japan. Sometimes when I watch Japanese News, they say that Korea is inciting anti-Japanese activities, but that is a thing of the past and many Koreans these days do not have bad feelings about Japan.
Bali, Lombok, Jawa, Sumatra, Papua dan Kalimantan banyak sekali tempat tempat yang menyenangkan dan indah untuk dikunjungi. Terimakasih buat mbanya yang sudah berkunjung ke Bali, Di Indonesia sendiri banyak sekali tempat indah tapi kurang disorot oleh media luar negeri.
Lebih baik kegagalan Indonesia jadi tuan rumah Piala Dunia U-20 yang disorot media luar negeri. Dan tentunya kasus korupsi dan kesemrawutan kota dan lalulintas nya yang harus disorot. Itu setidaknya cukup untuk membuat rakyat dan pemerintah nya malu
@@MEOWMALE-mo1ze Susah untuk membicarakan itu, pemerintah Indonesia tidak ada prestasinya sama sekali. Orang luar negeri tidak mau mengekspos hal seperti itu karena tidak ada untungnya, berdoa saja pemerintah Indonesia bakal berubah dan mau mementingkan rakyat.
Even the Japanese consider Bali as a country like westerners, this proves how strong Balinese culture is that Indonesia doesn't have. So it's only natural if we call Bali as a country😆
I'm a Lakers fan, so it was cool to see another fan in Japan. Rui Hachimura joined the team this season, and he played great in the playoffs. I hope we keep him on the team.
As a Japanese, there are so many Japanese who like Brazil because in general Japanese people respect Brazil’s football, volleyball, carnival, coffee and diversity. But Brazil is very far from Japan, and we scare Brazil’s unsafe situation.
India made it as a primitive place 😅 he survived Calcutta and wants to be back! Haven't seen any Japanese tourists in my hometown but I remember taking language lessons from a wonderful old Japanese lady who lived there all her adult life!
Japanese people are kind, but Asian discrimination is terrible. There are people who discriminate especially against short people, people with dark skin, people with low intelligence, and people from poor countries.
Watching your videos and knowing so much about different people and country in world... makes me realise how small are my daily problems..... And literally it helps a lot to stay happy . 😊 Arigato Takashi san
I’m glad they appreciate Taiwanese dish as much as I do haha already been to Japan and Thailand multiple times and absolutely loved it, especially the people and food❤for me Philippines, Kazakhstan, Italy and Sweden are on my wishlist next
Taiwan deserves the love! As a Filipino-Chinese, I felt at home in Taiwan. I’ve only roamed around Taipei but I’ve noticed that the people are generally very welcoming and warm like the Philippines and they’ll also return a smile when you smile at them hahaha They also initiate conversations with tourists despite the language barrier which is surprising to me in a good way. Me and my friends keep coming back to Taiwan ❤
Bali has more to offer. My 1st visit when I was on honeymoon, I was so excited. Nice place to visit, mark on your vacation wishlist. Greetings from Indonesia.
I'd love to move to Japan if it wasn't for it's rather strict culture along with crazy work hours. Even though I'm very introverted I'd much prefer to live in a place where ppl are more open for random discussion and overall more extroverted.
I didn't think Thailand would be mentioned even once, let alone this many times! Kinda funny because Thai people also LOVE traveling to Japan. Sometimes I feel like half of Thai ppl are in Japan just from looking through Instagram stories lol
It's weird you'd be surprised by that as a brit I see Thailand, Japan, Taiwan as all very close countries. It seems Thailand is a weeaboo country but they don't know that Japan also likes Thailand!
That’s true because Thai kids basically grow up watching anime but even non-weeb Thai adults also love going to Japan. In my mind, Japanese prefer western countries and westerners love Thailand. 😂 I genuine didn’t know Japanese also travel to Thailand a lot.@@user-yc3fw6vq5n
@@ihkeseteeietos5722 The first foriegn foray of AKB48 was when they made a Thai version so I feel Japan knows Thailand naturally understands them more than other countries!
I was just in Japan for the second time and the first time since I began studying Japanese. After only five months of studying, I found myself able to order most of my food in Japanese and even make small talk with locals. 🥹 I can't wait to see how my Japanese will be for the next time I visit! 日本が 大好きですよ!
actually in everyone's prespective the grass always seems more greenery in the other side rather than seeing that they have most precious thing in the world.Cause the whole world know how fascinated the place japan is!People realy want to live there
I find myself compelled to express my genuine admiration for the exceptional qualities that define Japanese society. I am truly amazed, humbled, and continuously inspired by Japan's clean, respectful people, low crime rates, and peaceful, intelligent natured culture. This stark contrast to the slightly hostile and unclean aspects of some societies in England is a testament to the remarkable virtues embraced by the people of Japan. Japan's commitment to cleanliness is truly awe-inspiring. From impeccably maintained streets and public spaces to the meticulous attention to detail in daily life, the dedication of the Japanese people to cleanliness is evident everywhere. It creates an environment that not only uplifts the aesthetic appeal but also fosters a sense of pride and discipline. This remarkable quality has left an indelible impression on me, and I can't help but feel inspired by the collective effort to maintain such high standards. Equally impressive is the deep-rooted culture of respect that permeates every aspect of Japanese society. The inherent politeness, courtesy, and consideration exhibited by individuals towards one another is truly commendable. Whether it is the warm greetings, the meticulous attention paid to social etiquette, or the genuine concern for others' well-being, I have been astounded by the unwavering respect that characterizes interactions in Japan. It fosters a harmonious and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and acknowledged. Furthermore, I am profoundly moved by Japan's commitment to maintaining low crime rates. While no society is entirely immune to crime, Japan has undeniably created a safe haven for its citizens. The social cohesion, collective responsibility, and effective law enforcement contribute to a peaceful environment where individuals can thrive without constant fear or anxiety. This dedication to safety is something that I deeply admire and wish to see replicated in other parts of the world. Lastly, the intelligence and intellectual pursuits of the Japanese people have captivated me. Japan's rich history of innovation, technological advancements, and scholarly pursuits showcases a nation driven by a thirst for knowledge and progress. The emphasis placed on education and the relentless pursuit of excellence have yielded remarkable results, establishing Japan as a global leader in various fields. This intellectual prowess and curiosity are not only inspiring but also serve as a reminder of the incredible potential that lies within humanity.

Japanese people are kind, but Asian discrimination is terrible. There are people who discriminate especially against short people, people with dark skin, people with low intelligence, and people from poor countries.
to the Philippines? Get scammed?
It seems like most people don't agree with you 😄

I'm so glad that a lot of people answered that Thailand is their favourite ❤

Takashii, you made a pretty funny mistake in the subtitles! At 5:42, the guy said he went to "Varanasi", which you obviously heard as ヴァルナ市 (Varna City), since you wrote it as Varna in the subtitles...
Let's upvote this comment!
varanasi, if i’m not mistaken, is where the dead relatives of a family got cremated and taken afloat to the ganges river, right?
there’s just something both eye-opening and chilling looking at the bodies turned to ash
@@wiandryadiwasistio2062 yes it's said to be last place of human soul on Earth, after which it departs for hell/heaven.
Just stumbled on this channel and I love it, and I love your interviews. I am an American from Ohio (midwest) and I have always admired the kindness of Japanese people who I meet and work with here, I hope to be able to visit Japan someday. Again, I have enjoyed your videos tremendously, thank you for your content! It has been quite educational to my American mind.

I was pleased to see a diversity of places mentioned by the Japanese people interviewed here. When I lived there many years ago, everybody wanted to go to France. None of these other places would have been mentioned.
It is true that France has been a country that we Japanese have longed to visit, but the news coming in from France these days is all about demonstrations, crimes, and anime, so the image of France for Japanese people has changed from "a wonderful tourist spot with beautiful and historical buildings" to "a country that represents the chaos of immigration in Europe. Unfortunately, Japanese have lost interest in France

Don't bother. She has the "Japanese men only" look.
I’m russian, last year I met a Japanese girl from Nagoya. She is so sweet and kind, I wanted to hug her all the time 🥰
It was interesting to learn that a lot of Japanese love Thailand as well.
I like Japan and Japanese people. Greetings from S.korea 🇰🇷🫶🇯🇵
Im from syria i love the people of japan you are a super polite people thats really wonderfull
Ooooh I feel so proud everytime they mention Italy… ❤
I have been to 25 countries in the world… Italy is hands down the best. Rome and Milan.
We are always present haha 💪💪
@@snowcountry322 I mean... Rome is amazing, but Milan... you should visit Venice and Florence, you will love them!
Being an Indian I am very happy to see this video and I also love Japan.❤
This was a great advertisement for Thailand! Haha people seem to really love it there. I want to go now. And I laughed at the guy who said he liked China because of Wong Kar Wai films because I’m the same way 🤣
I've been to Thailand, the beaches in Phuket are amazing, loved it there!
Wow so nice to see someone loving Belgium and them living there. I'm from Belgium and it's such a small country that usually many people don't even know what it is xD

Japanese are well-travelled tbh.

There are are actually a few JP TH-camrs who are based in the Philippines (e.g. Mana from 123Japan)

2:16 Takashi is really interested in what people say and think, it's not just for TH-cam. Can see it by that delay in giving a microphone to the girl in pink.
his knowledge about anything is incredible
Yes!
初めてベルギー（私の母国）が好きだと言う人を聞きました、ありがとうございます。
As a belgian, I can’t actually believe someone said Belgium. I guess the idea that someone from Japan even knows that Belgium exists is pretty cool to me, let alone that they have been there :))
i like the chocolates
hhhhh of course they know Belgium😂
americans are the ones who dont know countries buddy
Belgium is pretty popular tho
ベルギーはめっちゃ日本で人気

Germany and Japan by far!❤❤
Agree💯✌

You have a pretty cool channel man :)
I liked that Canada was mentioned due to snow, lol.
It seems to me that Canada was popular for Japanese tourists in the late 80s and early 90s, and seems to have dropped off a lot in the 2000s.
I appriciate your work and the videos you upload Takashii! The only thing I dont like about "what is your favorive country" videos is that its too predictable. Not like its a bad thing tho, people have the right to love what they want, but at the same time it would feel nice to hear someone from so far away liking my own country as well. But again this is not a quality problem, I love your videos, just wanted to say it. Huge love from Hungary 🇭🇺
I loved Hungary...
The hairstyle of the girl at 1:45 (who likes Italy) is so cute. I love those twintails
This is great for immersion for people who are learning Japanese like me.
Indonesia has 17,000 islands. A beautiful country like Indonesia is something that Traveling likes. Indonesia has complete beauty, has beautiful mountains, oceans, eternal snow and places of prehistoric life.

Its a muslim country thats why people are scared to visit
@@Reypunk666 Indonesia is not an Islamic country like Arab countries, even though Indonesia adheres to the largest Islamic religion in the world it is because it has been customary since ancient times, and the people in Indonesia are very tolerant of other religions. so no need to be afraid to come and visit Indonesia, buddy!!
@@Reypunk666 Please stop calling us Islamic country
A very interesting interview
You’re the greatest of all time Takashii!!! I want to be a smart Japanese man when I grow up just like you!!!!
In next year I’m going to travel through Japan and I hope I’ll get through your interview. I think it’ll be one of my favourite activities I’m from Poland

Love these videos - watch them to learn more Japanese. Have lived in Japan for a long time, but can still improve 😅
Wow! I respect their likings but I like every country and would love to travel all around 😍
Once again Awesome interview 😆👍🏻 thank you ❤
I am grateful that some Japanese people say that they like Korea. I also like Japanese animation and food. There are many people in Korea who like Japan. Sometimes when I watch Japanese News, they say that Korea is inciting anti-Japanese activities, but that is a thing of the past and many Koreans these days do not have bad feelings about Japan.

Bali, Lombok, Jawa, Sumatra, Papua dan Kalimantan banyak sekali tempat tempat yang menyenangkan dan indah untuk dikunjungi.
Terimakasih buat mbanya yang sudah berkunjung ke Bali, Di Indonesia sendiri banyak sekali tempat indah tapi kurang disorot oleh media luar negeri.
Lebih baik kegagalan Indonesia jadi tuan rumah Piala Dunia U-20 yang disorot media luar negeri. Dan tentunya kasus korupsi dan kesemrawutan kota dan lalulintas nya yang harus disorot. Itu setidaknya cukup untuk membuat rakyat dan pemerintah nya malu
@@MEOWMALE-mo1ze Susah untuk membicarakan itu, pemerintah Indonesia tidak ada prestasinya sama sekali. Orang luar negeri tidak mau mengekspos hal seperti itu karena tidak ada untungnya, berdoa saja pemerintah Indonesia bakal berubah dan mau mementingkan rakyat.

Even the Japanese consider Bali as a country like westerners, this proves how strong Balinese culture is that Indonesia doesn't have. So it's only natural if we call Bali as a country😆
I'm a Lakers fan, so it was cool to see another fan in Japan. Rui Hachimura joined the team this season, and he played great in the playoffs. I hope we keep him on the team.
no one talk about visiting Brazil 😭😭Thank you for the video Takashi. 😉
As a Japanese, there are so many Japanese who like Brazil because in general Japanese people respect Brazil’s football, volleyball, carnival, coffee and diversity. But Brazil is very far from Japan, and we scare Brazil’s unsafe situation.
Being from Nepal ; i am amazed the japanese people are too much humbled and respect
As a Chinese Canadian, I welcome you to both China and Canada !!
India made it as a primitive place 😅 he survived Calcutta and wants to be back! Haven't seen any Japanese tourists in my hometown but I remember taking language lessons from a wonderful old Japanese lady who lived there all her adult life!

I’m glad they appreciate Taiwanese dish as much as I do haha already been to Japan and Thailand multiple times and absolutely loved it, especially the people and food❤for me Philippines, Kazakhstan, Italy and Sweden are on my wishlist next
Taiwan deserves the love! As a Filipino-Chinese, I felt at home in Taiwan. I’ve only roamed around Taipei but I’ve noticed that the people are generally very welcoming and warm like the Philippines and they’ll also return a smile when you smile at them hahaha They also initiate conversations with tourists despite the language barrier which is surprising to me in a good way. Me and my friends keep coming back to Taiwan ❤
The Japanese conscripted Taiwanese women as comfort women in World War II. There should be Japanese descendants in Taiwan, so the Japanese like Taiwan
Taiwan is just china with democracy, people don't understand it😂
You should include Kyrgyzstan in your Bucket list if you were in Kazakhstan. It is much more beautiful than Kazakhstan for sure.
As a Thai, Thankful and Respectful to who mention our country, our neighbors and other country. 🙏 We love Japan and as well 😊
I am thai and appreciate that many people love my country. And yes, Japan always be the top list if you ask the same question to thai people , too.
Bali has more to offer. My 1st visit when I was on honeymoon, I was so excited. Nice place to visit, mark on your vacation wishlist.
Greetings from Indonesia.

Nothing compares to Japan. Probably will be my tourist destination forever. I finally found my place. Love you Japan.
Ya..., even though Japan is known have a cold society, but most of their people are disciplined, I love them🥰
I've been to Japan seven times already and going again in a month's time. I can't get enough of the place. I feel like I'm home when I'm there.
It good for tourist but not for living..
I'd love to move to Japan if it wasn't for it's rather strict culture along with crazy work hours. Even though I'm very introverted I'd much prefer to live in a place where ppl are more open for random discussion and overall more extroverted.
I didn't think Thailand would be mentioned even once, let alone this many times! Kinda funny because Thai people also LOVE traveling to Japan. Sometimes I feel like half of Thai ppl are in Japan just from looking through Instagram stories lol
It's weird you'd be surprised by that as a brit I see Thailand, Japan, Taiwan as all very close countries
It's weird you'd be surprised by that as a brit I see Thailand, Japan, Taiwan as all very close countries. It seems Thailand is a weeaboo country but they don't know that Japan also likes Thailand!
That’s true because Thai kids basically grow up watching anime but even non-weeb Thai adults also love going to Japan. In my mind, Japanese prefer western countries and westerners love Thailand. 😂 I genuine didn’t know Japanese also travel to Thailand a lot.@@user-yc3fw6vq5n

I was just in Japan for the second time and the first time since I began studying Japanese. After only five months of studying, I found myself able to order most of my food in Japanese and even make small talk with locals. 🥹 I can't wait to see how my Japanese will be for the next time I visit!
日本が 大好きですよ!
I love everything about Japan. The food, the really polite people etc. everything actually works unlike Britain where nothing does.

I find myself compelled to express my genuine admiration for the exceptional qualities that define Japanese society. I am truly amazed, humbled, and continuously inspired by Japan's clean, respectful people, low crime rates, and peaceful, intelligent natured culture. This stark contrast to the slightly hostile and unclean aspects of some societies in England is a testament to the remarkable virtues embraced by the people of Japan.
Japan's commitment to cleanliness is truly awe-inspiring. From impeccably maintained streets and public spaces to the meticulous attention to detail in daily life, the dedication of the Japanese people to cleanliness is evident everywhere. It creates an environment that not only uplifts the aesthetic appeal but also fosters a sense of pride and discipline. This remarkable quality has left an indelible impression on me, and I can't help but feel inspired by the collective effort to maintain such high standards.
Equally impressive is the deep-rooted culture of respect that permeates every aspect of Japanese society. The inherent politeness, courtesy, and consideration exhibited by individuals towards one another is truly commendable. Whether it is the warm greetings, the meticulous attention paid to social etiquette, or the genuine concern for others' well-being, I have been astounded by the unwavering respect that characterizes interactions in Japan. It fosters a harmonious and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and acknowledged.
Furthermore, I am profoundly moved by Japan's commitment to maintaining low crime rates. While no society is entirely immune to crime, Japan has undeniably created a safe haven for its citizens. The social cohesion, collective responsibility, and effective law enforcement contribute to a peaceful environment where individuals can thrive without constant fear or anxiety. This dedication to safety is something that I deeply admire and wish to see replicated in other parts of the world.
Lastly, the intelligence and intellectual pursuits of the Japanese people have captivated me. Japan's rich history of innovation, technological advancements, and scholarly pursuits showcases a nation driven by a thirst for knowledge and progress. The emphasis placed on education and the relentless pursuit of excellence have yielded remarkable results, establishing Japan as a global leader in various fields. This intellectual prowess and curiosity are not only inspiring but also serve as a reminder of the incredible potential that lies within humanity.
