  Hey Kimber! Congratulations on your wedding and it's good to see you posting again! Reverse Culture Shock for me wasn't as big because I didn't really change (culturally, philosophically) over my time in Japan - I was pretty much the same person I was when I left New Zealand haha. But it was so weird being able to read the signs again! I get so used to Kanji signs constantly screaming in my face all the time, it felt so weird being surrounded by English again haha

  Marsh so nice to see you back at the channel 😁 I can see that about you. You really did stay true to yourself. I’ve definitely been influenced by the culture here 😂 And that is a good point. It was weird being back in the US and knowing what everyone around me was talking about 😮 Americans tend to talk very loud, and I am one of them 😂 On a side note, new airbender coming out. Never thought i’d be excited about that but you definitely rubbed off on me 😂 glad you commented! Hope you’re well and thanks for reaching out :)

  I can relate to so many of your reverse culture shock experiences! When I moved back to Canada after living in Japan I definitely forgot how dirty and loud the buses could be in Canada. I did appreciate being able to take a phone call or have a snack on the bus though whereas in Japan it’s not very acceptable to do that. I also appreciated being able to ask for takeaway boxes in restaurants in Canada. Sometimes I found it tough in Japan with it being a finish your plate culture and not being able to get take away boxes!

  Welcome back, Kimber! Congrulations to you and Rick on your marriage together, and I am happy to hear that the wedding worked out better than you expected! But yeah, I imagine it would have been quite the shock re-experiencing the U.S. I have heard that the U.S.'s medium sized portions are the equivalent of another country's large. XD Perhaps you can make a video later on what sorts of things Japanese are interested from America, like in terms of souvenirs. :o Looking forward to more content!

  I think it’s a big waste of space to have a toilet in a separate place all to itself. I do like the idea, but in a house, not a micro apartment with extremely limited space.And having to hang laundry to dry would take forever! I would definitely want an all in one washer/dryer, or the stacked verity. Just my personal preference.

• 
  @kimberdesu14012 күн бұрын

  Yeah, I get what you are saying about the toilet thing. Better in a larger space, but I also wouldn’t give it up in a smaller space. When there is only one shower room you do not have to take the entire room to yourself just to do your business, and a bonus is that you can save people from your stinkier business 😂 I really like the privacy :) Yeah the washer dryer situation could be better 😁

  Could not agree more about the examples you gave for culture shock! Forget anyone being polite and considerate on public transportation (there are exeptions of course, but not many). Also, I don't get the restroom situation not being private. They might as well have exposed toilets without any doors for all the good the enclosures do. Sheesh!!

  I didn’t know that, but it doesn’t surprise me. I, as an American, also feel I watch too much TV. I am a TV zombie but it is not likely that I will stop watching anytime soon. Japanese people work really hard and barely have time to spend with their families, let alone having time to watch TV. They devote a lot of time to work, and there children are involved in multiple activities. This is good and bad in a way. Maybe a little TV wouldn’t hurt them :)

When you mentioned during the video that using your normal speaking voice was loud enough for your neighbor to hear you, I thought of simple TV/radio/music use possibly being invasive too. Then I also wondered abt other normal life-routine sounds - toilet flushing, showers, tub filling, washer, etc. which can't be muffled or avoided. You must feel self-conscious abt performing those tasks, as well as enjoying listening to neighbors' activity.
