"England has the culture of being polite" *looks outside the window, sees chavs pissing on the street*
oh. maw. gawd.
i heard that chavs are wanna be gangsters, would i be correct in believing this?
GoldenGamer yes pretty much xD
+Μαυροκαττού η Πρώτη LMFAO YES!!!
+GoldenGamer Unfortunately yes!
'England has the culture of being a gentleman' OH BOY
bless your innocence, bless you
lol love your screen name
hehe thank you B)
I know I was laughing when they said that
He's had the fortune to never meet a chav
i also cringed about the french oh boi ^^
"england has the culture of being polite"
**goes out to walk your dog just to see a person giving you a middle finger because your dog barked**
why is this so accurate XD
Right lmao. I had this video in a playlist, letting them all play thru in full screen & not reading any comments on any videos. The first time I heard it mentioned, I just kinda chuckled and scoffed. Once I realized it kept being repeated, I knew I had to stop and read these comments 😂
Mind you, this was the reaction the that blessed innocence of an assumption from me, as an American who hasn't even ever been to England specially, though have been to France, the other assumption. I think it's more of a mental thing that radiates, more than blatant/verbal or physical insults like the bird all the time for anything at all. Almost makes it lose its offense, I felt The Sting of it all more in France lol.
Lmfaooo so true 😂
This sounds way to familiar to what happened to me
Ohhhmy god lol 😂🤦
When they said English men are gentlemen I choked a little cause that is the one stereotype that is so far from the truth 😂
Flyhigh So true 😂😂
Same in France. "Men are so romantic and gentlemen" but no, they aren't 😂
Cough cough Ramsey
Alan Walker Not teeth though. ;)
You just killed my dream of visiting England. I imagine i go there have some tea with English men and women and have an amazing intellectual conversation with them in British accent.
Gentlemen in England😭😭😭 Maybe in 1881😭😭😭😭
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😰😰😰
+Jack Jewell there is definately no gentlemen in the North East of England😂, it is really rare and if if they are then they are either foreigners or from some posh place down South!
+Jack Jewell my god the Japanese would love it here (in Devon) especially the Torquay Exeter area and the Plymouth pier and then there's Newton Abbot
+Jack Jewell I took a course in Japanese after a group asked me for directions and I couldn't reply without using my phone, the year after I was in Newton and a group asked me for directions to the library (they had come in from the train station) after that they were (Very politely) asking me about town history stuff (the clock tower ect) I made five friends, got their numbers and met them in Exeter and showed them around the city, we still keep in contact and have plans to go to the next baby metal concert.
"The world is all one. Let's be friends!"
Live by that.
Right? :D I laughed because well it's true, but it seemed like he put time to think of that, and I liked that!
it's not... trust me it's not AT ALL! how can you live in peace with countries like: North Korea? Saudi Arabia? Afghanistan? You hippies think you live with peace with them and then they stab you in the back. Live in peace with countries that want it too but don't forget to fight against your enemies.
seriously did you have to put this on here? John Lennon once said imagine all the people living life in peace. Humanity makes war over silly things like opinions or faith. No one race is perfect and unless you're a Nazi maybe you should give them all a chance. Not ALL North Korean people are bad they just have strict government and laws. Same goes for most countries it isn't the mass populous that is ill willed it is the governing body. There's nothing hippie about wanting to respect life and individuality. It's actually intellect to learn and grow from diversity.
BeautyTheRagDoll but most of the people in one country follow the government, if 10% of people in north korea are not brain washed it doesn't mean anything.
I agree ibfound this racists
French people are polite ? XD As a French person, I can tell you : not really. How many times did I say « Hello » while seeing someone in the street (not in the city but a small village) and the person just looks at me and ignores me...
Just Fly french along with spanish are some of the most rudest europeans
Agreed. Im French too, and people dont even say thanks when you kep the door open so they dont get hurt. smh
Man I went to Paris once and I have never been that disappointed . The people (or at least the majority) were RACIST and I'm not exagerating!!!!
@@letiziaroselli6258 Bienvenue à Paris, like we say. Paris can say alot about France
@@ChungSeikerThatonedude Paris is not France. Please dont say that, I was around Paris when I was a child and now i know people in france except paris are really nice...
I love how they have the same English stereotypes us Americans have
Nope
@Jimmy Williams Nope
Even in Canada we have that stereotype about the Brits (we really look up to most European countries). It seems to be an almost universal thing, except in Europe. From what I've gathered England isn't looked upon very favourably by it's neighbours.
Side note, I was waiting to see someone with a Hetalia icon👍
@@firestriker3580 yep
i think other british people reject that stereotype too much, personally. i think they tend to just think about mean/chavvy people and forget that even a large proportion of those people still stick to uniquely british politeness & manners
That guy in the black leather jacket was such an anime character.
I agree with you
me too
Yamato spirit I guess☺
so true!!!!!!!! there is already one person who thinks like me!!!!!
:)
Ah yes... The English stereotype that thinks that England is a tea drinking perfection.
"What country has the most attractive people?"
"Russia. They have features that American and *Europeans* don't have."
But isn't a part of Russia from Europe?
It's also 77% in Asia so that might be where the confusion comes from.
I am? It's just stupid plebs within certain area's that bring down the whole population's image.
I'm assuming he was talking about central Europe like France, Germany, etc
The vast majority of Russians live in Europe, and have European features.
Ah, it is my dream to visit Japan someday!!!! I'm just super poor right now but it is on my bucket list!!!! A bonus would be to live there, haha~
Literally, I relate.
DefenderOfJustice7OH7 same 🙂😀 Just need a little bit of money 😂
ay mystic messenger
What?! Seven is poor?! My darling seven what happen to your riches and cars?! ((Lmao I'm sorry I had to
Literally same ! Yes
Mistakes foreigners would make?
Me: calling people by their first name instead of last name
December's Top Hacks
Even though I'm English, I used to do that to my friends all the time
I did that all the time untill someone told me and I was sooo ambarazed😶😶😶
So true, I was in a school tour by two highschool students who are same age with me. I was always calling them by their first name until I found it out from a foreigner buddy I am with.
Ishi Gandalf that seems like something that would take some getting used to! I wouldn’t want anyone to call me by my last name, it’s too damn long 😂
What is first and last name, in rossia we have name, family name and father's name
You always see this connection between the UK and being a gentleman made by Japanese people, whereas modern English people probably use some of the most offensive vulgar and language on the planet. Where does this stereotyping come from? Is it a holdover from the Meiji restoration when European countries like France and Britain were admired and used as a model of what a 'modern' country should look like?
It think it's because they base their perception of the UK from all those posh Victorian, Edwardian era movies, TV shows and anime.
I blame downton abbey
Yh now we've got chavs, and a bunch of cockney speakers. Sometimes even I don't know what people are saying... I've been here for 15 years. Well that is cos I'm 15
lancer D They took the good example from other country to be used as a moral guide in their country instead of the bad.
lancer D The polite British gentleman seems like kind of an old stereotype that hasn't quite left us despite what it's become nowadays.
I'm not complaining though, I like to be as polite as possible.
Lmao, that English gentleman was a fantasy, I guess they watch too much films. Try moving to England for 3 months, then you'll the the idea
Marios A. English are relatively polite, but a gentleman politeness as they refer in the video? give me a break. Besides, which part of England you're staying in the past three month as you speak?
Not Wales ; - )
mdr893 the chavs man
Yep!..
Yes first of all I'm a girl I can't be a gentlemen second of all come to England we are nice just come to the countryside
I really like the guy in the leather jacket!!! 😍😍😍
He’s so nice and handsome.
Agree hhh
Looks like a mexican delinquent or something lol
He can teach me Japanese :)
Yes!!!
Merry Xmas! He’s the yamto spirit guy, I think
When I was younger and lived in Japan, I seriously thought no one on the train was using their phones because they didn’t have one. So I didn’t use mine because I didn’t want them to feel bad. No one explained these rules!
Hello,I’m Japanese.Of course,many Japanese use phone in the train.But we never call with our friends. Sometimes,we watch foreigners call with their friends.But when we see them,we think “”what a guy””. It is a rule in Japan because we treasure public spaces.
@@user-lb1rs5se8c 😍😍
@@user-lb1rs5se8c That is so endearing. You can still see the Buddhist roots in Japanese culture. That's very fascinating!
lol the french and the english being polite? what a joke..... if only they knew
I agree, I am American but... I wish I could be japanese...... every second not being Japanese brings me to the point of insanity
+TheIronGamer V1 that's pretty disturbing
+TheIronGamer V1 I used to work in a restaurant in Brussels and I also had the privilege to have americans as english teachers or professors... I don't know about people in the US but those who are abroad are usually highly educated and quite polite, I love how spontaneous they are and how easily they get humour, even dark one, you should be proud to be american. ;-)
Oh, my dad went to the US for a training in the 80's and he really loved the people there, to him, they were very nice, open-minded and most of all, spontaneous, he even have regrets about not staying there because they offered him to stay and work with them.
Solleti Coso
u.s why?
+TheIronGamer V1 The grass is always greener on the other side… until you see what's been buried there. XD
In the comments people mostly disagree with things said by guys in the video, but I agree. I am Russian and grew up in Moscow and here is a plenty of beautiful people. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE ARE! IT'S LIKE TO BE A CLASSMATE OF THE 15 INSTA-CELEBRITIES WHEN YOU ARE A POTATO DAMN IT
Catherine come to malaysia.. you will be the prettiest person
hafizatul sufiah yaacob BRUHHHHH
One good looking potato
Catherine Every country has beautiful people. Like..a German girl could be 100times more beautiful then a Russian.
I feel you :D
Sounds really familiar
Japanese people are nice, but no one mentioned Canada😂
I am from Canada, so this makes me happy to see :)
I'd like to move to Canada one day ^^
ERIE Berry Marshall but Canada isn’t really a country that comes to mind imo or that’s really popular. I live not far away from the border but haven’t been there ;-; it seems like it would be soooo cold it’s already cold enough sometimes where I live..
(；ω；)
Also who’s in your Pfp?
@@rinkoshirokane8263 Oh i meant canada is steretyped for being super nice. Like riciculously so lol.
Oh and my pfp is sakura from naruto
ERIE Berry Marshall ohhh that makes sense
AND YES YOU KNOW THE GOOD ANIME :D I THOUGHT IT WAS HER BUT WASNT COMPLETELY SURE
when they said: "Come to Japan!" my reaction was like: "I'M TRYING!!!!!!" :)
(besides I MUST see an Arashi and a Hey!Say!JUMP concert!)
Japanese people are incredibly polite and all of them have amazing styles my god 😂 being a fellow Australian myself there is such a big contrast between the cultures
Archy Rival ikr
Archy Rival basically a lot of asian cultures are polite and some countries outside of Asia such as Australia, France, England, Britain. Exept here 8n America a lot of people are horrible dude a lot of people hear tease others, start fights, run people over, racism, there is so many things wrong with America these days but I'm lucky that I live in hawaii where people art that rude
I had watched a youtuber video talked about his experiences as a abroad student in Japan. In that video he said that he was told to quit his part-time job and go back to his country because the japanese didn't really like the people of the country which he came from. He also read some of the comments on the internet which were written by foreigners including the japanese and badmouth about his nation and its people ( their inteligent, height, smell, violate,...). He said he was shocked about how many people assumed that his country was bad without even really know a little about the country. I was pretty shock as also because I was always love and respect the japanese culture. But then I had a second though, the man or some people said so didn't mean that is real because after that the youtuber said he was cheered up and apologized by other japanese after hearing the problem, and he also said that he had great experience with his friends and girlfriend (who were also japanese) and they had great experience when being with him too. He ended saying that he had stopped working a that foodstall and he was sad but he didn't think japanese people were really like what the man ment because he was helped by a japanese that day; and because he told himself not to assume other people just because of a person ar something you might had heard when you haven't know anything about it.
Hate to be a pessimist, but the politeness isn't always that sincere, it comes natural like a reflex. Dont be naïve to assume that a polite Japanese person is also a person who thinks positively about you. On top of that there are plenty of Japanese who don't like foreigners. I've experienced it myself as well, especially at small shops. A small granny shopowner who literally blocked the entrance and wouldn't allow me in xD I was laughing my ass off and enjoyed their creative ways to discrimate me.
Archy Rival If Japan let’s Latinos come in and stay in Japan specially Mexicans in large numbers? For sure Japanese won’t be polite anymore because Latinos are arrogant and complainers even for little things. See what the Latinos are doing in the U.S
England has the culture of being polite. Ireland would disagree.
This comment is just grand! I agree XD
Everyone would
Here here! As an Argentinian , we also disagree. Today is my country's Independence Day. One of our favourite stories (we learn it in elementary school) is when England came through the port to conquer us -the year before they were stoped before they got to us by the uruguayans- and while the men fought the women of Buenos Aires started to throw boiling water from the windows to the soldiers. They left. We won.
Nice story :)
The English people have conquered numerous countries around the world, including mine, in fact, they SHAPED my country's borders and created modern Iraq. But some are actually nice people so we shouldn't judge.

jun: hey would you look at the camera
all three of them: look away
bless
People in this video are very friendly and polite😊 Greetings from Poland!👋
I say sorry a lot here in America even when they tell I don’t have to say sorry I still say sorry. Me: I’m sorryPerson: it’s okay you don’t have to say sorry Me: sorry
I use to apologize atleast twice. Cause I don't wanna offend anyone.
Me 😂
Legit same
Haha whenever I say sorry the person I said sorry to is like oh you don't have to be sorry. It's not your fault and the im like oh... Sorry 😂
I think it's just about morals not about where you live in this case
Unfortunately the English gentleman all died in the 50s :'( what happened to our culture and people?! :'(
Well like Churchill many enjoyed booze and cigars activities not known for extending ones life.
Feminism, feminism killed chivalry.
And now we have 'lads'...
The end of the age of gentlemen came with the end of classical education. I guess teaching people some latin and giving them a few books on morals to read really does wonders for people.
What does feminism have to do with anything? Jesus anti-feminists are even more annoying than radical feminists
"Example, not taking off their shoes indoor."
"Ah~"
KAWAII~!!!!
Meet us canadians when partying outside it hard to keep our shoes on if it is spring time , or more specifically albertans .
去年の夏、日本に行きました！楽しいました！来年、私は外国人学生としてそこに行くつもりです！外国人学生にメッセージをくれた男に、ありがとうございます！Last summer, I went to Japan! It was very fun. Next school year, I’m going to go there as a foreign exchange student! So thank you to the one dude who gave a message to the students studying abroad!
『楽しかったです』『男性』、が正しいですよ。ご参考までに：）
They are so awkwardly cute it's just amazing xD
4:16 taking off your shoes indoors is quite common in scandinavia and Finland atleast. Who the fuck wants dirt everywhere in your house if you walk there with your shoes on?!
yeah here in Sweden we always take our shoes of
+Allu N.
many other european countries, i guess?
In the Netherlands we only take our shoes off at home. On school and other public buildings ofc not.
+Repo Same here! (The shoes part not the Netherlands one)In fact when relatives or family friends come at your home they take their shoes off but its considered rude to let them do this since it basically is translated as "you are getting my house dirty, disturbing and annoying me, get out!" and the funny part is that its also rude to enter a house with your shoes on so there is a little imposted scene between the guest and the host when they both insist on doing the opposite actions and it always ends up by finally taking the shoes off and wearing some warm slippers, which were originally bought to be worn by guests. In a normal 4 people family the shoe cabbinet (right word?) has like 10 pairs of slippers inside because here guests almost always come in groups of 4 or 6.
+Yuki C in Germany,many of us take the shoes off before entering the house, and we also wear the indoor shoes.

Hhahahahaha

Not Amerikajin???😂😂
when she says she want to go to America to be a dancer, but being a dancer here is a struggle
Might be easier if you take the profession that includes a pole.
ohy 🤣
These interviews are so fun, genuine, and eye opening. Thank you for conducting these kinds of questionnaires. Yay for Yamato Spirit!
OMG it is you * fangirling * I really like your videos and hope you grow big
english people? gentlemen? haha we're stuck up and unenthusiastic
+yourguardianangel Wouldn't say that at all mate. Visited London a few years ago with my family, for the first time, and English people were very nice indeed. Had the most glourious breakfast ever and people were happy to show us where to go. A British gentleman, in an café, asked me if it was okay that he smoke, then he pulled out a cigarille :D I said of course, obviously because i smoke myself. Wish to visit again, great people of England :)
AchillesSoul thats totally not a reflection of us, but its nice for you if you were treated like that
ok yeah you might find the odd traditional gentleman but go to your common tescos and its like "ugh do we have to help you"
yourguardianangel guess im gross then. Alright. Honestly if i had to describe england, id say its a hole filled with chavs who think theyre gangsters but cry when they see a gun.
ivan jimenez *can* be gross
yeah basically
having a stiff uppper lip is the British way you uncultured chav!
The first man is so cute and polite
Japan is awesome
I hope I would visit it for sure
Your sister from Egypt
Come and visit us we adore u
OMG!!! I'm from Greece and I really admire the Japanese culture...I just love Japan...I hope one day I can visit this amazing place and meet these incredible people 😁
Finally, a Greek person!! Και εγώ αγαπώ την Ιαπωνία ! 😂🇬🇷🇯🇵
γεια σου φίλοι μου! φιλάκια από τη Λευκάδα 💞🇬🇷😘
I'm from england and I don't think our culture is polite at all, especially when compared with Japanese culture.
Being modest, it's the proof that you're polite people.
Jin Hikari You'd think its modesty but honestly our behaviour has just been slowly going downhill
Jin Hikari mmhmm
Jin Hikari omg ikr the kids that just roam around are just top grade retardation
Not_A_Gamer, Ironically I only saw racism from the immigrants when I went there but that's to be expected, Eastern Europe has some of the highest racism.
"What country do you want to visit?"
*"Hawaii"*
Good answer good answer👏🏻
Sara Emily 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😭💔
America has a lot of different climates so I get why he said a specific state but it still made me laugh
Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking about pearl harbour
in most places around the world once you get past the language and cultural "quirks" (that each culture has) its pretty easy to see the commonality we all share as fellow members of the human family. (if you allow yourself to see)
I’m back to the video that made me love this channel so much. Really shows how raw and what it really feels like to be and live in Japan. Unlike all other youtuber video that only gives a dreamy and unrealistic everyday cheerful environment. With the noisy wind and sound of the leaves and the red bricks as background, really shows that not everyday you’ll get to have the most fitting background music while you’re walking down the streets of japan. That is the perfect world that we are actually living in.
When he said he once went to Australia and said Australia had attractive women, I'm like; daaawwwwwwwwwwww
Too bad, I'm ugly XD but proud!
xD
Feel the same way when they said Taiwanese kkk. But don't agree with your last sentence :))
lel
Omega Wolf lol furry ass
Seiko Shinohara furry??? what the fuck is that?? xDDDDDDDDDD
leather jacket guy is a cutie
Oh yeah!
The fashion sense of japanese people is amazing!
Yamato It's so cuteeee, he's always smiling and seems to be comfortable with the interview, I really like him jsjsjs ❤️
"England has a culture of being a gentleman" "French people are polite" OMG haha! In the past, I assumed that Japanese people are more educated and informed and aware of the world, but now I see that they can be just as clueless as the rest of us. Well, at least they got some things right - that Russians and Brazilians and Taiwanese people are hot. Haha!
lmfao!!!!! i agree on that last bit for sure
why do u think so?
all my dreams have been shattered. im like hoping that's not all true ;-;
cassiemichelle03 I agree on a general note, my parents went to France one time for a week, and they couldn't say they were from Seattle, Washington because of that murder trial or whatever is going on over in France, and if they had said that's where they were from they'd've gotten quite the ugly treatment. As it was, they got a lot of rude people just because they were American and people stereotyping them, despite my parents being some of the nicest people around.
cassiemichelle03 They really dislike those who aren't French, just Americans in general. The French have never been fond of Americans, which you can't blame them. Most countries aren't fond of Americans because of how rude some Americans are when going to other countries. It unfortunately gives any good Americans a bad rep. People have to remember that they represent their country when they go to visit foreign places.
I went to japan for 2 weeks and I really want to go back again. It was so good and was helpful that I can speak Japanese. I from Australia and I had people always asking me where I was from and commenting on my hair colour. When I was at the high school I attended for a few days I kept getting called cute by all the Japanese girls and it was so strange but they were also really friendly and polite. I just want to go back!!
Awe lucky girl! Lol I'm asian American and would have been in love with those japanese polite girls ^^ (of course I'm a guy tho) lol I would have loved to hear they're cute voices
Hahaha. They were all so sweet. And the guys at the school were nice too. I just remember when I went to an amusement park with my host sister and we went on this roller coaster. There was a group of boys behind us in the line and they tapped my host sister on the shoulder asking her if I could speak japanese and then when she said yes, they started to compliment me saying I was cute and asking if I thought they were cute. I was soooooooo embarrassed and had no idea what to say. (They were really cute but i'm just too awkward.) >.
Kevin Mason japanesepod101 is free. You just need to avoid signing up for anything extra
I visited, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Kumamoto, Okayama and Hakata. Haha heaps cool! Well that is my name after all :P x
Im japanese and i will say we like the happy but polite types who know the term restraint of white foreigners, you know the ones who give it there best to learn the culture? The ones who go there and expect to be treated like guests, try and peacock themselves around and have everyone else adapt to them are the ones who get snubbed. It also helps that you have a japanese friend. To us you look exotic but unapproachable, but with a japanese friend talking and walking with you it makes you look approachable but in a way that we really want to know your story. Also the best way to learn japanese is by using it everyday, i have my family here so japanese is all we speak to each other, but my parents will tell you that since it's been a while since they went to a all japanese enviroment, they have started to forget a few japanese things (or old age lol).
Japan, it’s people and their culture is just so great and welcoming. I just love it!
“The world is all one”
I can feel the compassion and excitement they have and it’s very much returned. I hope to travel to Japan one day.
Japanese people are so cute and nice, this is why they beat us at everything. See the difference when they're talking about foreigners saying they want them to stay in Japan and things like that, while in the US they keep insulting every other culture and race. Keep on the awesomeness Japan :)
They've got seriously messed up ideas about what things are like here in England.
The "gentleman" concept? ... That hasn't been alive here for about a century.
Even the toffs are going full-douchebag these days. The decent people are vastly outnumbered by both the passive-aggressive and the actively aggressive.
Oh and for mr "I want to go to a soccer game" ... perhaps I should video what Holloway Road is like when there is an Arsenal match on. It is horrifying.
shhh don't blow our cover!
Oh my... I never thought it's like that...
Hm... You`re familiar.... Say... Do you know Carciphona?
I know right, I was shocked they don't know modern England yet
Really enjoyed these videos of yours, I'm only 15 right now but as I get older I plan to visit Japan a lot and explore and experience the culture and food and weather, can't wait for that time to come!
The shyness and awkwardness at the end is so cuuuuute :D kawai!
Omg, they were all SO adorable! :D They must seriously be the nicest people on Earth, haha :) Great video guys, thank you so much! This made my day!
I agree that I think the Japanese are the most polite culture. I mean, even the clerks at convenience stores carefully hand you your change and place your bag with your artfully packed items on your hand. It's like you're the only customer they will have all day.
It's because it's their job. They take their job seriously so they are polite. Most people in this video just say what is politically correct. Deep down they probably think different, or are most likely just indifferent.
I watch your videos all the time!! So awesome to see your comment on this video!
Turdly Poop
That's slowly changing but often yes, in Japan you can get amazing service - it can be downright surreal how helpful some people are, in this sense there is no other country like it. And don't tell me it's the same in US or Europe - it's most definitely not!
People from Switzerland very polite too.
All the people in this video are extremely good looking. Everything from their hair to clothing style, I like it!
Yak 3nu nice style
Yak 3nu I was thinking the same thing. Such good looking people in Japan.
Army
Japan has good sense of style.

This made me so happy! They are all so welcoming
This was such an adorable video ❤️
One day i will be able to visit and hopefully live a bit in this amazing country with such amazing people.
Japanese people seem so nice compared to Americans
and you'll meet Japanese who said the Americans are more friendly( no, seriously..)
I agree. 👍
it's very true.
well which Americans cuz there's canada the US and south America
So true..they seem to be well mannered and polite.
English people are VERY polite as well as Americans. I am from Eastern Europe and we are probably the least polite people in the world (along with rude French people) I have to admit :(
I personally like Asians the most, they are the nicest people ever!
I'm glad someone thinks we're polite! I treat everyone with the utmost respect but sadly the minority rule out the majority and there are a lot of mean people here. But I'm nice so no need to worry! :)
Guess you're a wannabe american...
***** ummm..ok?
Owh
LOL AMERICANS POLITE, WHAT'S NEXT?
This video was so great lol. I was smiling throughout
Thankyou for being so kind to us foreigners. I would love to move to Japan so I am learning Japanese now before I come so I can get to know you better if my hopes of moving there become real. I think it’s only right to learn your language before arriving. Your culture is so beautiful a lot of other cultures could benefit if we learnt by yours. Your so welcoming and polite. I’m so thankful for people such as you out there in such a troubled world. I’m Australian.
I WANT to make friends with them all !!!

As a redditor this video made me very happy because I am an avid anime enthusiast and would like to move to Japan (Nippon for you unenlightened westerners) someday. This is because after coming to reddit I have been enlightened by my own intelligence and now I see the destruction that christian fundies have brought to the world and especially in the US, for example every sunday my mother forces me to go to church even though I dont want to because I would rather spend my time on intellectual pursuits such as redditing instead of praising "god" or whatever.
***** dont worry i am here, my lovely google bell thing didnt show any notifications for a moment there.
im glad you're finding this entertaining though.
after all it seems like we both have nothing better to do but argue on the internet. great, great.
lolpl0000
This is almost cute.
***** Yes, bud.
Can't tell if troll or...
My heart warmed up when they all sound so enthusiastic and genuine about welcoming foreigners to Japan. Makes me want to go and study abroad there instead of Korea now haha. Maybe I have to think about going there for a year. The people are so nice!
Saw this. I thought it was really cute. Its nice to know that foreigners wont be completely treated with hostility.
Apple Mappel Uhm no? But just like @TwilightWoods said, they sounded genuine and not just for the heck of being polite.
Apple Mappel And there is something called not being an ass which you are being right now.
***** Lol, yeah I just didn't get what that guys problem was. Even if they were just acting nice it's a lot better than them being a complete ass. Sometimes honesty just isn't the best policy.
I'm Brazilian and I love Japan. :*
ho
I wanna go Brazil〜〜🇧🇷🇧🇷
Ich finde besonders die Antworten zu den letzten Fragen ganz toll!!!
Dass alle so freundlich und offen zu "Fremden" sind, davon könnten sich so manch andere echt eine Scheibe abschneiden!
Danke und Grüße aus Deutschland!

America comes off as rude to other countries because we have less social elitism and less social conservatism compared to a lot of other countries. It's a lot more free form as to what the social rulings of a specific situation are. There aren't as many expectations as to how to behave to certain people or how to behave in certain places, you kind of have to grasp a vibe of each encounter or area you are in. This fact throws a lot of people who aren't used to it off, and they view it as rude because of their perspective.
And to all the weeaboos who think Japan is this perfect beautiful country where everything is sunshine and rainbows, you are wrong. Japan is extremely xenophobic and conservative when it comes to viewing social values and viewing foreigners.
a-lot of what you said it true...weeaboo is such a nasty word it sounds gross
What's xenophobic?
lormer starmor like a fear of the outside, as in like different ethnicities or cultures
Cory in the house so the word xeno means like different places?
you're probably right lol
The girl with the curly hair is so cute 😍
the only one i hardly liked lol
Yesssss 💓
yesss
She looks mixed, interestingly
I love leather jacket man, hes so kind and friendly
This makes me want to go to Japan even more.
Such lovely mannered people!
I'm Swedish and I like Japanese people a lot. They're quite, polite and respectful. In many ways similar to us Swedes. We don't like it when people are load and taking a lot of space. Like for instance, Americans ^^
And guys. Ever heard of Swedish women? Man.. Russians ain't even close :)
Im a hispanic american and i adore both your country and Japan! I dream to visit Sweden and perhaps Japan someday, and currently am trying to learn both languages!
But, believe me, many people adore your country!
stereotyping intensifies
I'm also a Hispanic American and currently studying to be a chemical engineer. Once i graduate I'm planning to move to Sweden and maybe visit Japan. :)
TheDragonSeer You'll be fine with your English here in Sweden. However if you wanna learn our language go ahead and do it but I have to warn you though. Some people consider it difficult :P
Yeah they have such pretty eyes ;0 I'm Dutch btw
I appreciate watching something so pure. There are too many media stories that are meant to make us fear each other.
I really love the discipline of Japan
They’re all so precious!
It kind of made me a little bit upset how they called England the "gentleman" people, and they kind of hated on America. If anything, now and days it seems that England is more or less America- of course not food wise though haha.
That doesn't have anything to do with what I'm talking about. I'm talking about England, not Japan. Does that mean that England wouldn't think that Japan is rude or vice-versa? You only made a one-sided statement.
Couldn't agree more, Ian. In my business life, private life, academic life I've met quite a good amount of British people. Can't say "They are rude as hell!" yet they were not any more polite than people from lots of other countries. Most of the teens can be considered rude even.
Maybe it's just the area I live in (wealthy-ish town in the south of England a good distance away from London) but I have to disagree.
A considerable amount of American tourists I've encountered are fairly ignorant of common public etiquette (not saying thank you after riding a bus, talking especially loud, ignoring unspoken "turn" rules etc). As strange as it sounds, it's also due to how warm and friendly most of them try to be towards strangers which really weirds out a lot of people I know; public here outside of pubs and nightlife tends to be a lot more impersonal until you actually get to know somebody. These observations I've had are also pretty consistent with the American tourists I've met outside my country, they still really irk me.
Anyway, I should note that I don't hate all Americans. Of course, I know a large enough number of them to know that they're not all rude as well as there being a few tourists out there who know the deal however, due to my generally negative experience, whenever I meet one out on the street I automatically assume the worst.
Nothing personal, I expect a lot of people feel similarly about me in their country because of the various British tourist stereotypes.
See, but you're missing the point too. It's how Japan views us- Americans and UK. America and UK might view each other differently, but America as a whole isn't impolite to each other and England as a whole isn't nice to each other. America and England of course have there differences, but for a Japanese to automatically assume based on the minority or some movies is not good.
Yeh :3
that guy sitting alone has some positiv Aura right there. i like him (as a person).
#nohomo 😂
I know right? xD I completely agree
#nohomo
ALL OF THE HOMO
-Yugi
Haha
I think he is cool. I would like to be his Friend.
Jaden Yuki I can't believe it's 2017 and I'm still seeing no homo
Aw they're very kind and welcoming!
So kind people😍
Seeing that So many Japanese people would be welcome to foreigners makes me so much more motivated ^-^ I am an American girl who would like to go and study in Japan one day.
Ive been in japan for quite a while and honestly I hate it here, the people are so annoying and the people are super rude too :'( never coming back!
+Seoyeon Shin I was under the impression that the Japanese are very polite and try not to stand out.
+MystTale I don't know where Rachel and Jun lives but here in Osaka there was a lot of rude people (The rudest I have ever met)
+Seoyeon Shin I guess I'm not going to osaka unless it's only for vacation :\ sorry, but may I ask, what race are you and did you stand out in any ways?
TheOinache I'm Korean and I have Long permed Brown hair, brown eyes and translucent skin. I don't really know but alot of people I could hear are making fun of my voice? It's normal and I don't fake it I swear like Japanese people
I find it so funny how, I live in a country with very little respect in schools, and I feel like going to school in Japan, I'd fit in so well, besides being Filipino I'm very polite, I follow rules, I hate to get in trouble, and I really enjoy when the class behaves and stuff and when other people are polite as well
every teacher in the world dreams about teaching you dude, i can bet on my head xD
Same here in the US. I'm an art student and so many of my classmates are rude. After an assignment my teacher will show everyone's work and critique. During the critique, it's obviously rude to be doing anything other than looking at everyone's work and listening to what he's saying so we can avoid the same errors in our work. The larger portion of our class either draws, listens to music, or talks during the critique. The whole semester really hasn't been a good one. 90% of our class didn't turn in multiple assignments or were late every time. I was late once which I'm still ashamed of, but wasn't because I didn't do it, I just forgot it at home. Forgot to put it on my flash drive, was in a rush to make it to class on time. But our professor is sort of strict and doesn't like hearing excuses so I couldn't defend myself lol.
ForwardProductions I live in Australia and a lot of us are super polite! At at our school there is little to no bullying which is great! I would say the worst thing about going to our school is the fact that the teachers are more mean than the students.
Being an exchange student and traveling to Japan multiple times, (I also speak Japanese) I can say that schools in Japan are a lot more focused and the students respect their teachers (well that's most of Japan anyways) . In America, schools are a lot more social and there is a mix of types of students. Japan's culture is a lot more about blending in whereas America is more about individuality
Same here, in the UK the kid's behaviour also makes teachers extremely irritable
I'll be good doing my work but accidentally zone out, and zone in to a teacher practically spitting down my ear
The leather jacket boi, he was the yamato spirit guy in the other video right? He reminds me so much of nishinoya from haikyuu omg i love him
So happy to see people from my favorite country like Taiwan, that's where I'm from !!
when the guy said england i started cackling
He will get shocked seeing England fool for burkas and Muslims lol oh wait until he hears about the acid attacks
Oh, so like, "CACKLE CACKLE CACKLE!! CAK- cough!"
Kaizoku Were you high when you wrote that first sentence?
Lol
Love a good cackle
Hawaii is my country
England is my city
XD
T h e S k y L o r d 7 lol
If Hawaii is ur Country then that means ur r an American.
+Ishan kulkarni *facepalm*
Ishan kulkarni 😂 please don't be that stupid. Please tell us that you're a troll.
Love these kinds of informative posts. Thanks!
They were so cheerful it's actually making me want to visit Japan! 😄
What country has the politest people? France. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHAH
They've got the information from the previous century.
Andrew Hillhouse ＆Korea HAHAHA
we have the best education
+Zane Silver
That's a pretty bold and pretentious statement you have there. Mind showing some evidence?
Andrew Hillhouse I KNOW RIGHT MAYBE A CENTURY AGO HAHAHA
They talk a lot about America... You never really hear "Canada" in any foreign statements, do you? Canada is said to be fairly polite, and it's true, at least where I am concerned. I say "sorry" for tiny things, like accidentally bumping into someone. I don't cuss at my parents, and I never have. And my parents taught me to respect elders... Which is part of my Asian culture... Whoops.
But yeah, no one abroad really cares about Canada. TT^TT
American here. Gotta say, love your bacon. K bye.
I do! :) I'm from Serbia (in Europe) and to me Canada sounds like the perfect place to live and raise children. Lots of Europeans love Canada. Would love to visit it one day.
I think it's to do with media exposure. Everything about the US; music, film, tv, government, politics, etc. is heavily documented in other countries. You would have to figure out how much Canadian media exposure the Japanese receive. And if they hear a Canadian speak how many think it's an American (US)... I honestly can't tell the difference between a Canadian and American accent unless I pick up certain words spoken. And not just the word "about" lol
But Canada is in America. In fact, America includes both North, Central, and South America
Tommy Zinkovsky No, but most of the time when people say "America", they're thinking about the U.S.A.
This video is so cute and wholesome. I love it!
"The world is one. Let's be friends." That's what we need more of 💞
0:49 French people... Are soo not polite xD (I've been there alot of times (especially the south))
***** exactly xD
I've been to France recently on a class trip too and just… lol. Some weren't "polite" at all. The things we've heard made our teachers gasp and one got into a verbal fight. :L
We were in Paris and they thought our group were British because we were speaking English (I'm Asian though). :P Our French teacher didn't retaliate in French, rather in English so the whole exchange was both horrifying and amusing at the same time.
The politest French people I've met were the ones at my language school in Japan. Guess because we all have kinda similiar goals in a way. But hey, don't we all have assholes in our countries?
I'm french and I can tell we're the opposite. People are rude and sometimes even racists here.
To the guy who said, "The world is all one. Let's be friends!" I coudn't agree more my friend. We should all get to know each other since we live on the same planet and respect each other as well as our differences. greetings from the U.S :)
Thanks this made me excited to come visit Japan for the first time then! I'm from Malaysia.. done solo travel 8 days in Seoul and love to visit Japan for next trip!
love the guy in the green jacket, so cute!
What about Canadians? ;) guess nobody knows about the desolate land mass that is the second largest country in the world (geographically) lol. Canadians are some of the nicest people when it comes to foreigners.
Canada counts as America >_>! lol just so easy to travel between them!
too true :)
RobertMuldooJP no they are radically different. basically no Americans would appreciate being called Canadians and the inverse is also true
Yeah, as a Canadian I guess I would hate being called American. For some reason nearly every other country despises Americans, but I guess Japan is an exception lol. Not that I hate Americans, but being associated with a widely disliked country to outsiders is not a good image
Eh...travelling abroad, I wouldn't mind if someone lumped me in with Canada. I think our country's 2 cultures are pretty similar....but that's just me
the reason the guys are having a hard time responding is because they are talking to an attractive woman doing the interviewing.....they are afraid of embarrassing themselves, its a common thing i've noticed for most guys let alone Japanese guys. if this was jun doing the interview, you would get different responses from the same people.
people there in the video look kinda pure and positively naive they make me smile while watching the video!
I like them!
That wink at the end :p They're so free spirited :D
