      Autumn is the best time to go to Japan about October. Summer is very hot and humid especially in August. As a foreigner Japanese people will be superficially polite to you but my impression there that I am just being tolerated. Americans like to be casual and get to know someone informally. That is not acceptable there if they don’t know you. Do not expect to be thanked for holding a door for someone or handing them a tissue. That is my direct experience. They just don’t understand your behaviour. It’s unexpected and they don’t know how to react.

    Hi, I'm a driver here in Europe, and I'd like to say that flashing warning lights after merging is very common here... No surprises here, it's on the same level as removing shoes when entering a home, Europeans also do it as a majority.
    Regarding back parking, it is the most used method for a lot of European countries too, as it is the best way in case of emergency leaving. And as a standard, you have to master it to get your driving licence. It is enforced in quite a lot of companies too.

    In my Boarding school where I lived with the Kids, we had a girl from Thailand and she always made slurping Sounds while eating. My first thought was to tell her if she may stopft doing this because I tell all the students to eat quite but than I remindet her cultural Background and so I stood silent 😊
    And now? Whenever I eat in a japanese Restaurant I do slurp as well!
    I got used to the looks I get from other german visitors. I don't care AND do enjoy my food ❤

    Here in the South (U.S.), we flash our headlights to let someone know they can merge--although this is usually only done for large trucks, which have difficultly seeing cars and judging distance behind them. They will flash their lights (turn their headlights on and off so the lights on the back of the trailer flash) to thank you. When you allow a car to merge, you wave for them to come in front of you, and they will wave thanks.
    As someone who is bad at backing up, I will say that it's easier to back out into a wide open space than it is to back into a narrow space between two cars. I think this is why it's standard in the U.S. to pull into spaces. (At my office, we're not even allowed to back into spaces; they sent out an email years ago telling people not to back in because the heat from the cars' tailpipes was killing the grass on the little landscape islands we have between all our rows of cars.) We also have a long history of big cars, so you sometimes need that extra turning space.
    Although I will say, even if it's easier on the driver to back out of a space instead of into one, it's safer on pedestrians for people to pull out of a space instead of backing out of it. Many people get hit by people backing out of a space. My dad said he fell in love with his back-up camera the first week he had his new truck because it alarmed and stopped him as he was leaving a restaurant parking lot. He then saw there was a Hispanic family walking behind his truck that he could not see in his rearview mirror because none of them were taller than the tailgate.

  • @tb6303
    @tb6303 5 місяців тому +7

    When I was a child and a teenager, it was common for a truck (semi) to flash lights after you let them in in front of you. My brother told me that was to say thank you. Also, you'd flash lights to tell them it was safe to enter your lane (that they were far enough in front of you) because it isn't easy for them to tell (because they are so big).
    Also, if you saw a car heading your way on a highway and they flashed their lights at you, it meant there was a police car waiting on the side of the road (speed trap). You'd flash back to say thank you.
    Edit: this was in the United States.

    One time when I was in Tokyo I gave up my seat on a train to an older woman which in my culture is a sign of respect. She was a very stylish woman but it was clear she was much older than I was, like my mother’s age. At first she seemed upset, I guess she thought I was calling her old. But she did take the seat and later she did thank me. Is it considered disrespectful to offer your seat to a person who is older than you??

    Yes, I am familiar with most, but not all of these "customs". My wife is Japanese and has brought her customs to the US ... unfortunately, also the expectation that Americans will follow the customs ... doesn't always happen, eh? I would also add that when training in traditional Japanese Martial Arts forms ... Okinawan Martial Arts forms .... training in the US or other "foreign" countries, the traditions and customs of Japan are as part of the "training" as is the physical training. That was such a pleasure for me to learn that part of the Japanese culture that I was embracing. The language? Still working on that ... 40 years later ... that education is never over with ... at least for this gaijin.

    Cannot remember anything about Japanese culture which I don't love .
    Slurping ramen is a bit strange... maybe because I saw it years before my trip to Tokyo, while watching TAMPOPO (great film!) and by that time I thought hilarious and couldn't be a true habit 🍜 😅

    The only thing I don’t like is the parking backing into a parking space - it means you battle to load your shopping/bags etc into the boot when you get to the car. (I thought that this was done in Japan due to earthquakes etc so that one could get out of the parking quickly in the case of emergencies.)

    Backing into a parking space is a tricky maneuver often requiring several tries. Not safer than pulling straight in. Definitely a matter of practice and what you’re used to.
    A more difficult matter is the steering wheel on the right and driving on the left. Better to leave the driving to others.

Now I think it's whether it gives a heavy feeling to your body or a neutral feeling or an excited feeling. I also shop using the Spark Joy method. If the item somehow weights me down inside in any way then I don't buy it.

      You can always leave some space behind your car when parking.
      If there is none because someone blocked you, you drive out slightly and then access the trunk.
      It has been explained to us in the driving school (not in Japan) that reversing makes leaving a parking spot faster and safer, plus it is indeed easier to park this way.

    No No No please don't encourage a tipping culture in Japan 👎 just follow the dining etiquette, pay your bill, and thank them for their good service.
    SLURPING NOODLES .. yes there's actually science on the reason for slurping. Firstly, the slurp gets the most broth possible clinging to the noodles from bowl to mouth while also cooling the noodles. Secondly, and maybe more importantly, as pointed out, air is drawn into the mouth and consequently up into your nasal area greatly increasing the taste sensors therefore enjoying the broth flavours even more. It's true !
    There's a great NHK JAPANGLE 'Ramen' episode on it, it's really worth searching out 😊

    I love Japanese food as well. Very healthy and delicious. Unless you get dango, which is OISHIIIIIII!!!!!! (It’s a treat of little fried balls with sweet heavenly syrup). ❤❤❤

    I love the safety light thing!! And is the famous song by Gackt? 😂 (mostly joking) that's the only song I know called Aishiteru and how I learned what that meant.

    Hello!
    I love your videos and I like how you cover Japanese culture some times.
    Irezumi, or traditional Japanese tattoos, are very popular in the US. I am a white American man and I am interested in getting tattoo sleeves in this style, but I am concerned about how people would react to these tattoos if I visited Japan or China in the future.
    How do you think people would react if I traveled in Japan with these tattoos? Any help would be appreciated. :)

    When I lived in Tokyo, men peed in the middle of the streets at night. I too acquired this convenient tradition!

    I was ticketed for backing into a parking space in the USA when it was safer than turning around... As a serial backer-upper, I much prefer the Japanese way!
