Interestingly, in the USA, if you leave any belongings you can be sure they'll be stolen. HOWEVER, if you ask a stranger to watch your things, they absolutely will protect your belongings with their life. I've walked away from my laptop and school supplies and asked people if they wouldn't mind keeping an eye on it for me. Likewise, I've been asked to watch someone's stuff and I won't leave that location until they come back, even if it's time for me to go.

In Germany eggs are not washed, you might even find the occasional feather on them, but that leaves them with a natural protective layer which keeps them from spoiling for longer, so you don't even have to refrigerate fresh eggs.

You can leave your porch door open all day and nobody is going to steal your stuff. We get bottled water delivered to our doorstep. We leave the empty crates in our front yard to be picked up and at some point the delivery arrives and if we're not home, the crates might sit there for hours, no problem. Our elderly neighbors see everything, so stealing would be risky. We do have a couple of break-ins a year but that's nothing. I walk my dog through the pitch dark forest at night and I'm not scared. Even without my dog the chances of getting raped and murdered is probably lower than being hit by lightning since the latter almost happened to my mom once...

I live in Brazil, I have consumed raw eggs my entire life and never ever got salmonella or any other disease. The egg inside is normally safe (if it's not, you'll know from afar by its smell). Salmonella is usually found on feces, so you should wash the shell with soap before consumption.Wash it only right away before consumption, because the shell has a thin layer that protects the interior from external harms like bacteria and viruses, so doing it and storing the egg makes it vulnerable and very likely to rot.

With video games, the endless possibilities of the internet, and the fact that crimes definitely haven’t gone down, kids are more inclined to staying inside nowadays, and that’s the unfortunate truth. It’s such a normal thing now to have your kid stay indoors that if you do let them out you’d be going against societal norms, which as we know boomers are extremely protective of.

One time in elementary school, my parents dropped my older siblings and I off at the mall. I ended up meeting a kid, walked to his house, watched a movie, played with some toys, then walked back to the mall, met by siblings and got picked up by my parents. Just a run of the mill day as a kid back then.

It's nice to see that Japan is still a high trust society. When I was a kid here in the US it wasn't uncommon at all for me and my friends to take off all day by ourselves, we were about 5 miles from town and we'd regularly ride our bikes into town, ride down to the creek and swim, etc. and this was before cell phones. This was even encouraged, my parents didn't want us hanging out around the house, they wanted us to go out and do things. You see this less and less today, you'll still see it occasionally in rural areas, but hardly ever in the cities/suburbs; the trust that once held our society together seems to be disappearing.

I'd be interested in what Japan's criminal justice system is like, whether the penalties for crime are so bad it's not seen as worthwhile to commit crime or whether its a case that being a more collectivist society they have a greater sense of social responsibility or a shared sort of 'honour code'. Unfortunately in the west (I'm from the UK) you can definitely see as we've 1) moved away from capital punishment (I don't agree with it myself) and 2 become more and more capitalist and individualist focused we've lost that shared sense of community trust and responsibility. My children have no sense of what it was like when I was young to leave the house and not come back until almost bedtime, and no one got worried or sent out search parties looking for you.

@@talllala It's an interesting study, the Japanese criminal justice system is stricter than what is typical in the west today and prison is a lot harsher, even more so than in the United States. But it's nowhere near as draconian as the English and American common law systems were before the legal reforms of the mid 19th century. But I honestly think the low crime rate in Japan is more a product of the culture than the criminal justice system; I usually argue that law is downstream of culture, that is to say that the harshness of a justice system is determined by cultural norms. Still, it would be interesting to see Mrs. Eats' take on it.

In Germany it depends on where you`re living.

Apparently shoplifting is the most common crime in the US, and people hardly ever (and shouldn't) leave their purse in the shopping cart even to walk a foot away. People here are fast and crafty, watching for you to turn your back for a second. At a gas station, it's good to keep an eye on your car as well. Sometimes people will sneak up to the car and steal the bags right out of the car. They open the door and everything without anyone noticing. It's worse in Mexico, where you should probably keep your car windows closed even while driving, as someone on a bike might go by and grab your phone on the way.

When you said kids have more freedom I was a bit envious. Growing up, I had to be picked up and dropped off as an elementary school student even though I lived down the street. As a middle school student I was allowed rarely to walk to and from school. As a high school student I was allowed to take the school bus since the school was in the city but usually was collected at the bus stop. A few times in junior and mostly through Senior year I was able to take public transportation. My family was very protective as I was a girl and only child. 1990s and 2000s were not all that good in terms of child safety outside of school in the US. I guess my family wanted to ensure that I was back home in one piece lol. I had a couple interesting moments going home from school, kinda concerning the more I think back on those moments, but I knew how to handle myself. I tried many times to say that I was able to take myself to school to my family, especially as a little kid, and that I was okay and begged to allow me to simply walk to school. Nope! XD They said they trusted me but they didn't trust other people x. X which I guess is understandable. People were creeps back then and they're worse now. Even seeing stories of kids getting abducted or someone attempting to do so it's sad. Amber alerts are crazy too. I dunno, I'd probably walk my child to school if I were to have a family in Japan. I mean Japan looks nice and serene but then again idk maybe that's my maternal side being paranoid lol. Anyway I love raw egg in cooked rice, I'll have to put soy sauce in it lol.

Certain cities you absolutely can leave things unlocked, but others you should keep any valuables in the trunk and lock up. Leaving anything visible is likely going to get your windows broken but the less stuff sitting out, the better chance of someone not finding anything of value so they tend to leave cleaner cars alone. Thieves are more scared of getting caught here so they make sure they have a reason to do so 😂. Seems like downtown in every bigger city is where you should keep an eye, but most other places are pretty freakin safe in terms of stealing/robbery.

In the US the danger of raw egg has been overblown, which is common here. People like to act like things are much more dangerous than they are. A lot of people eat raw eggs anyway and I havent heard of them getting salmonella. The more common way to get salmonella is eating raw cookie dough. It isn't the raw egg. It's the raw flour. Flour is stored in unclean silos and it cannot be cleaned the way eggs are. By the way, eggs are cleaned here in the US too. They aren't cleaned in most countries in Europe. Cleaning eggs removes the natural antibacterial coating so we have to refrigerate our eggs and tthey don't have to in most european countries.

In my country it’s already illegal to let the car running and warm up during you scratching ice from the windshield... 🤷‍♂️

I live in suburban Massachusetts and sometimes people at my smallish local liquor store leave their cars running while they run in for beer. I wouldn't tho!

In latinoamerica that would be risky

i'm italian and people costantly double park, it's so annoying! and not even for like 5 minutes, some people just double park and go into the supermarket to do their whole shopping, presumably just hoping no one keys their car in retaliation? 😂 it must be nice as a kid to have that level of indipendence but i don't even have children and i think i'd live in costant fear letting my 7 year old go take the train by themselves! so scary!!

My husband said same thing about kids going places by themselves! It's very interesting, in Japan, we teach kids to do many things by themselves, like go to school, go to store, etc. by themselves. There was even a TV show in Japan, mom tells her children, from age 3 - 5, to go to the store by themselves and buy some ingredients. Some kids are scared, but you can see adults in the community watch out for them and try to help them!

I love your videos so much, you teach so many amazing things about Japanese culture and Japan❤️

When I was younger - free range kids was the norm. In the summer we just had to be back by dark, or call if a friend invited us for dinner. Yah the egg things is amazing ... I'm still not sure when I go to Japan I'll try that. But the most amazing thing is lack of theft.

I tried dipping my sukiyaki in raw egg at a local Japanese restaurant an as I did I just couldn’t because of the texture, but the Japanese staff were just so pleased I even tried.

Oh, the dream that is to be able to go about your day doing stuff without the constant fear of being robbed, mugged or having anything stolen. Oh wait, you're telling me such a place exists in reality? Ohhh it's on the other side of the world? Of course it is ;_;

It exisits in their minds, not real

Weird things that used to be normal in Singapore. There is a drink "Milo", but some ppl have their hot Milo with raw egg cracked inside... the egg gets partly "cooked" by the hot boiling drink.. Some do it to make the drink more nutritious. i said used to.. because i dun see it as often now compared to the 1980s and 1990s..

This was a really good video for culture comparison.

OMG, I AM IN THE VID!!!

Heavens Door!!!!!!!!

I live in the UK and I must say, it must be wonderful to have such freedom and safety for children and young folk in Japan as well as the trust to be able to just leave a car running while you pop in a shop or leave your belongings unattended to reserve a seat- these are certainly things that would simply never happen here.

I saw on you tube that raw egg is added to ramen. So I tried doing the same thing. Mum not only scolded me, looked at it in disgust of my choices. Then gave me a good pep talk in the danger of salmonella. I actually loved it. I thought I saw it wrong when I did it because of how mum reacted. Bout now that you did this, I knew I saw it right.

i have seen a huge bucket full of coins in a pachinko once and i looked around because no one is guarding it. deep in my heart i wanted to take it 😂😂😂
