15:25 As you mentioned, Japan is a real mystery. Living in the UK for quite some time now, I can understand why you might feel frustrated. Japanese culture places a high value on politeness and avoiding causing discomfort to others. As a result, we tend to keep our emotions more private, avoiding conflict or confrontation, especially in public spaces. On the other hand, English culture is completely opposite. You guys are more individualistic and express your feelings openly, whether positive or even negative. This is something I still struggle with, even though I've been here for more than 20 years.... Enjoy your time there!

The answer to the question of whether you can drink coffee on the train is that as long as it's not rush hour, you can drink coffee with a lid that can be closed or in a plastic bottle.

Yes, I agree. I’m also Japanese (I’m 69 years old) and I’ve lived many places including in the Philippines and the US. Feeling fitting in is very personal and I know many non-WASP immigrant friends and acquaintances don’t feel accepted here in the US. Therefore, it’s not so specific to one country. It is just so easy to ignore that type of feeling when you are in a country like the Philippines as they are more westernized due to its sad history of colonization. Of course, they are more easy going as well. Please try to be open minded as you are. It’s not enough to know a country (even a region) and/or understand its people by just visiting occasionally and observing things. I enjoy your videos as you sound so sincere. We are not as super serious as you think but we cherish sincerity (honesty) and compassion to others. 😊

Hi! Oli :) I'm Japanese and have been living in London for a long time. I really feel empathy for your reaction and also the reactions of many Japanese on your comments page haha. I enjoyed your video. What I want to tell you (I hope this will help you a little), Japanese don't request perfect understanding or behaviour , just want you to try to understand more deeply without quick judgment and we just want you to enjoy your days in Japan. We Japanese tend to have high pride about our quality and manner so I think we just keen to keep the quality. And want tourists to be satisfied about Japanese trips, so some comments complain about you just come from frustrating that you cannot enjoy fully. If you visit again, I highly recommend that you travel with some Japanese who speak English and have lived in Japan for a long time. They will welcome to explain the background of the culture and manners and show you the local deep spots. Or in London you will be able to find Japan-UK community, so you can enjoy to deep your viewing. We are happy that you enjoy your trip more and more :)

全部日本語だからって飲食店を避けるのはもったいない。Google translationを使おう。 あと、日本人に最初から英語で話しかけるのはやめてね。日本人には最初に日本語で話しかけるかgoogle翻訳を使ってね。 あと包丁は料理用で、サムライソードじゃない。 ホテルの電子レンジは日本のスーパーマーケットとコンビニで買い出ししてホテルで酒盛りするのにとても役に立ちますので不思議がらずにいてください。 マックでちゃんとしたものを食べさせられなかったのは申し訳なかったです。ちゃんとマックがアメリカの朝食を再現したら食ってみたいです笑 でも回転寿司を楽しんでくれたことは素直に嬉しいです。あと、多分ジョニーソマリの仲間でないなら今後はもっと日本を楽しめると思います。

31:54 its not usually squid... 99% of the time its actually octopus. "Tako" means octopus in Japanese. If you like shrimp, a common alternative is ebiyaki which is the same thing but with shrimp. If you look you should be able to find Yaki balls with just scallions at most stands too.

They are also in the business. 日本でのマナーになるけど、買わないものを撮る触る行為はあまりよろしくないです。彼らも商売なので。 The blinds just want to be closed because of the atmosphere of the restaurant.

Although you looks like a mischievous child, it seems that you is trying to adapt to the local area. A convenience store umbrella costs about 500 yen.

If you compare the cost with western country as the US and Europa, Japan is very cheap. You said other asian countries are cheaper, but average of quality are cheaper than Japan. Japan is the most place are very clean, just space is compact. Now many Americans are traveling to Japan, even celebrities too because they think it has value a lot. However your view is interesting that never been Japan before. That sushi place, the place is by color of plates and how many you had them. if you want more special, you can order to chef directly. and you don't know the name of red meat fish is roasted outside Bonito (family of tune), I think. and after order beer is Yellow tail. You should try more different fish that you can't try in the western countries. Because they had many variety of good fresh fish!! And Your friend has very intellectual vision for different culture.

For foreigners, Japan is a place to travel and have fun, not somewhere to live or work long-term. The rules are too strict, making it difficult for foreigners to live here.

Great insights and reflection from you and your friend. I usually think of all the odd behaviours and manners stems from one thing only, to be respectful to others. Also I find myself agreeing with most of the japanese manners. For example it IS disrespectful to talk in a loud voice on the bus, of course you don't cut in line, or litter the streets. Of course its easier to live in a country which don't care whether you go by these rules or not.

@@user-bm4ke2bo4oこの人日本の最初の動画で、旅行する時はその国のことをなるべく調べないようにしてる、って言ってなかった？新鮮な気持ちになりたいからと言って。 今や外国人が日本のマナーについて語っている動画なんていくらでもあるんだから、それを1、2本見てから来るだけでも随分違うはずなんですがね。チップ文化がないことすら知らないんですから、全然調べてないでしょう。

Japanese traditional culture is good,but sometimes cause some problems for Japanese people

彼は、遠い国の未知の表現方法の違いに戸惑ってるだけ。海外に行けば私達にも起こり得ること。 「住めない」というワードだけ注目して悪くしか受け取れない日本人がいることは、日本として恥ずかしいことと思う。

人それぞれの感情だから仕方ないよ。どう生きたいかによる 名前出すの失礼かも知れないけどPewDiePieさんのように日本で子育てしたいという人もいる
