NOTIFICATION SQUAD: It's 5am and I've been editing for 18 hours. I can't feel my face. I've forgotten my name. (I think it's Dave). There's a ton of stories and experiences stuffed into this video - I hope you enjoy them! (Just don't ask me about the guy in the basement). I'd like to another Q&A again and indeed, if it does well, I may do another in June. I hope you guys are safe wherever you may be out there right now - things seem to be improving and I look forward to getting out once and again exploring the country. The question is, WHERE should we explore? Let me know in the comments and it'll probably definitely happen.

In general, the reason why Japanese people ask you your ages is just because they don’t know how to start conversations with foreigners. As you know, Japanese generally is not good at speaking English although we learn English for about six years at school. But at school we memorized some basic English sentence like “ where are you from?” , “ how old are you?” So when Japanese meets foreigner, they ask you your country, your ages automatically. They are just interested in who you are and try to know you doing there best in English. We never try to push our culture on you Sorry for my poor English but I just let you know the fact.

When I lived in Japan, I generally didn't hear my neighbor, except when he decided to have a 4AM shouting match with his girlfriend. Those were always fun, and quite frequent. Fortunately, I sleep with earplugs anyway. EDIT: I lived there for 6 years and never needed a hanko stamp. Not for the bank, or renting an apartment, or anything. Everyone just always let me sign instead.

I was stationed at a small US Air Force outside of Fukuoka (1979-1980) and I remember the shocked looks of locals when they saw one of us. (We worked up at the JASDF site on Mt. Sefuri outside the city but lived on the local economy.) There was a lot of elbow nudging and bad stage whispers behind hands of "Gaijin, gaijin." My buddy and I would respond, especially if they were cute girls, by doing the same thing but with Nihonjin in place of Gaijin. It was a fun way of meeting Japanese girls.

I thought that it had impressive cinematography (not that I know much about that) for a random skit. Especially with face paint etc.

I remember going to Mie shrine with a friend of mine. We were walking around in the town outside the shrine, and this girl, about 5-6 years old points at us when we were in a little shop and was like "Mama, Gaijin!" super excited. We laughed, my friend smiled and waved, and the mother turned beet red and apologized profusely. It reminded me a lot of the things me or my brother had said at that age and embarrassed the crap out of my mom

When living in an apartment in Japan you should choose apartments that use “Tekin concrete” as their material for the inside of the wall. “Tekotsu” or “mokuzo” walls are thin so it makes it’s easier to hear people’s noises.

Pokéfreak Yes! He did sound like an American! He probably has other talents... that he doesn’t want to share yet, but he would be great playing an American in a spy movie, in Japan! 😉😁😅

If I was to get a Japanese inner-city apartment, my biggest concern would definitely be noises from all of my neighbours. I can totally understand brick not being a common construction material at all for small residential housing, the better insulation should be an obvious thing by now. I’d imagine it would have to be a lot of the newer properties for you to be able to get one like that. Thanks for this video mate. Definitely answered a few more questions I had. It is a shame they don’t really have much sitting out front options at restaurants and drinking establishments. I’m betting it’s only really common in the most spaced out areas of the city where congestion is less of a problem or you are in the countryside.

I know this was 9 months ago, but I'll add this here (if nothing else to help anyone else that reads later) Choose a concrete apartment. Wooden apartments will have this issue. Most cheap apartments are wooden, even in Tokyo, but concrete aren't that much more expensive relative to their area. This has been common knowledge for many many years among Japanese people. The foreigners that are active on the internet constantly complaining of this for some reason refuse to look into this and/or refuse to let this myth of all apartment's being poorly constructed/insulted die.

The bank thing is true. Whenever a situation that requires any kind of thinking or flexibility arises the entire Japanese system breaks down.

Tends to happen with strict hierarchical and disciplined societies. While it is very efficient for day-to-day things, it isn't very flexible and breaks down when something unexpected happens. It works well in emergencies too when everyone listens and evacuate in an orderly fashion, but the response time can also be delayed because people lack initiative to take action. Rules can't be written to cover ever scenario.

Suddenly people start looking at me, the wasp is right next to my hand, instinctively i slapped the bugger and it fell to the ground dead.
