Just to tell of my experience when I was in Tokyo almost 10 years ago or more. Everywhere I went, I met very kind and helpful and polite Japanese people may they be young, old or middle age. I was in a restaurant and nobody knew I was a foreigner until I spoke to order in English and when paying the bill, the young male waiter told me to take care of myself and have a nice trip. Then another day I was lost and asked for directions. The old lady couldn’t understand but she told me to wait and asked a person who could speak English to help me. And it was snowing at that time, I was having trouble walking on ‘snow’ roads and nobody pressed their horns at me even when the traffic light turned red. They patiently waited for me to cross. And while queuing to buy a train ticket, I took a long time, nobody told me to hurry. And while waiting for a friend outside a shop, an old man saw I was cold and told me to wait inside the shop. (I could understand a little bit of simple Japanese). And so many other little things that made my trip very wonderful 😊
Angpows can be very useful. For example you have neighbour who helped you out, but refuses to take payment. You can "give his kid his son/kids an angpow", that diffuses any embarrassment for him.
Winston Churchill said, "When you’re 20, you care what everyone thinks, when you’re 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you’re 60, you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place."
When she said selfish idiot I was taken aback till she linked it to smokers who happily smoking away without caring for people who are inhaling the harmful properties they produce, endangering other's health.
the not giving up of seats thing in japan always shocks me. the few times i've given up my seat to the elderly on buses, i was thanked so effusively that i was so embarrassed. and the reason that ghib ojisan gave does make sense, because in most other situations, everyone is so kind and helpful.
I agree with your wife on the point that it’s half-half regarding the giving up of seats! Helping people wise, (helping the tissue touting uncles/aunties) I’d say it really depends as there are locals who will reject as well. 日本人の視点から自分の国を見るということは面白くて、新鮮な感じがしました！ご経験をシェアしてくれてありがとうございます！
Really love your wife’s voice just by listening to it. Her comments throughout the voice is so funny. “How is chilli padi hawker food”, when she complain the smoker and the ending of the video. She’s so adorable!
Yes smokers please be considerate and not smoke whenever you want..You have the right to smoke while I also.have the right not to take in your second hand smoke.
Our guide from Kyoto who stayed in Singapore for a few months, said he always over-orders from "economy rice" stalls because they're so cheap.. Or as he puts it, "Whenever I order economy rice, it's no longer economical.." 🤣
one thing about most singaporeans is that we like to complain but fail to recognize how much of a blessing we have, to be living here and recognizing the things that you mentioned in this video, as we often take these freedom for granted
I agree complaining is our national sport after all! But i feel that most complain out of Love for their Country and want whats best ( In their view ) For Singaproe ( even if it makes sense or not ) But of course there are afew bad apples ) yes we should take these Freedom for granted like Safety etc
Thank you for uploading. Me and my Singaporean wife enjoyed watching with alot of agree with you guys. Even my wife said that she wanna collaborate ur wife " Top 10things that a Japanese husband's weird" hahaha. My top surprise is all my colleagues make sure to clear all their annual leave & MC...
Many locals here r very sweet. Whenever my twin babies cry in the train, many aunties would offer to help or want to carry them for me… just that it’s pandemic now.. if not, I would have accepted their help. 😊
Agree with 9. Food much cheaper, nicer and fresher in Japan. Eating out is much cheaper. Any typical restaurant in Singapore with shabby food can cost 30sgd+ per pax. Here you can have a full set meal at like 1000 yen (10-12sgd)
Yes really agree and there’s abundance of Ramen shops in Tokyo than Sg. That’s why I don’t understand why they say Japanese standard of living is higher than Sg. Maybe housing but can’t really get a convenient, cheap and good quality ramen in Sg .
Regarding point number 1, I totally agree with what your wife said. I am a Singaporean and I used to give up my seat in Singapore but after working in Tokyo for 3 years, I stopped doing that as much because the commute is usually so long. If i were to give up my seat, I would have to stand for 1 hour and also get pushed around in a crowded train after a long day of work. Thank you for making this interesting video. I enjoyed watching it.
I gave my seat to a group of elders in a train during my trip in Seoul, they were more embarrassed and apologetic towards my gesture than being thankful which was surprising. I felt like I did something wrong lol! I have not given seat to any Japanese elders before though coz I don't get to seat at all unless it's a booked train lol!
I think Japan also similar - many elderlies feel paiseh thus end up rejecting their seats offered. Which, may be resulting in people reluctant to even offering in the first place
I think the habit of giving up seat is taken from the Western culture. Once, an elderly Caucasian man had to tell a group of local students to give up their seats to an elderly local lady. I felt so embarrassed as a Singaporean then. That was more than 10 years ago. Thankfully, I think the situation has improved nowadays.
@@GhibOjisan its a pity that they feel that way. i feel that they have experience so much in life that they at least deserved to be given a seat out of respect ( And to their health/safety )
Your observation is pretty much spot on (at least in Tokyo it is). As a parent, I feel guilty for no reason when I need to take the train with stroller, as if I’m bothering someone for going out with my son. And japans summer is ridiculous…no maxed out air on at shopping malls to hide ourselves 😂
another law that ppl break is .. not putting on seat belts when sitting at the back of a car or taxi. it's actually needed but realistically there is no way to enforce it, since you can't stop every car and check..
I visited Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok in 2019. I found Singapore very clean and orderly. I found Malaysia less organised and less clean but more interesting. And I found Bangkok the most fun.
I tried giving up seat once to a pregnant woman while on Yamanote Line pre-COVID, she was rejecting it with "nononononono". My wife and I had the "ehhhhhhhh" look on our face, I had not felt this confused in my life.
My wife would have the pregnancy badge on her bag when she went on the train in Tokyo, but even when she was near the priority seat it was rare for someone to offer their seat.
I think the movie "Crazy Rich Asians" actually adds on to the stereotype that all Singaporeans are rich. I was telling a restaurant staff overseas that I was from Singapore. The response i got was "so are you 1 of the crazy rich asians?" -.- i started to tell ppl that I am from Malaysia ever since that incident when I'm overseas =P
@@geraldsoon957 cos whenever i say I’m from Singapore, i always get charged higher and no discounts will be given. When i said I’m from Malaysia, things tend to be cheaper. I’m kinda cheap that way 😂
Many laws that are weird to other countries are essential in Singapore because a major part of our population stay compactly in blocks of flats. Windows or doors are often opened, corridors, stairs and elevators are shared. Therefore smoking, noise or being an exhibitionist affect many neighbours.
There are many kind people in Japan. We were just randomly taking a bus from start to end for inexpensive sightseeing - a nice Japanese lady thought we were lost & asked bus driver to refund us our bus fare & take us back to the starting point. Driver refused to accept our bus fare so we had a free ride that day!
You will never find people like this in Singapore, but not because Singaporeans are unkind. Just that it's awkward to assume to such an extend. You are lucky to bumped into an angel XD
In Japan i observed the smokers carry their own 'mini-ashtrays' which is actually a small tin can or whatever they can put in the pockets after stubbing it out. They also dont walk and smoke at the same time,most go to the park or discreet corner to smoke. Absolutely no second hand smoke wafting around
I heard in Japan that you can't smoke and walk at the same time right? Wish Singaporean smokers are as considerate. Imagine you walk from your block to mrt and just so happen a person infront is on the same way but smoking. Even 3m away, you can still smell it! You wanna over take, gotta run. Hard to siam like those designated smoking spot where u just don't pass by. So annoying
Thank you for your videos. What you might want to know is that school going children in Singapore study “civics n moral education” as part of our school’s syllabus. It has been inculcated not to; throw rubbish around, spitting is not hygienic, give up your seat etcs. However sometimes we still need to be reminded 😅. Thank you.
Agree with helping ppl. I was in Tokyo 淺草寺, there is this shinto shrine beside the temple, i was there for the 朱印，and there is a house just right beside the 朱印賬 counter, there was this old man feeble in the legs, the steps are wet, there is no handle at the side and he was struggling to get up the steps with his walking stick so i helped him up the two steps and he was like tsumimasen, and i was like why are u apologising to me? But angpow amt should be in even number but not 4 example 22, 26 but not 24.
haha the summer in Japan part is really true. you somehow feel the need to drink water much more than in Singapore. and the air there during the summer is very Still there. In Singapore you at least get a breeze
Hong kong is the worst in giving seats to elders in mrt. They even occupy seats reserved for elders and diasble. My mother in law is 90 and nobody will give her a seat even the seat is reserve for these people
A totally self-centered location on planet Earth. Fyi, been like that for a long time. Now with dejection set in from imposition of National Security Law, the spiral downward may be even more acute.
oh ghib..you are very informative..saliva tests! your ang pow comments..your expression is funny..'the amount doesn't matter or does it?' that Look..haha. good feel having your wife join you like that. she is also very natural..! I agree w the hawker food comments except chili padi..hee hee! thanks for the entertainment...still in observation hotel ..macau..
Interesting list, Ghib-san 😆 I'm surprised you didn't mention the COE which makes vehicles more expensive 😂 A group of Hollywood celebs came to Singapore some years ago to promote their movie and they were shocked by the prices of cars here because of the COE, lol.
Yr wifey is belly cute.... when she suddenly got upset over the smoking and flushing of toilets and towards the end, she said Spore lang chao liao, so funny 👍😂.
Was thinking if my friends might think those who use wet tissue in restaurants here in Singapore are gullible as they might deem the cost of wet tissue here (S$3 IIRC) to be a rip-off
Wow Ghib i didnt know being naked at home can be fine 2000$,,, walau 🤣,, i like ramen but here takai wa , in osaka ipudo i only pay 500 yen n hongmani oishi wa hehe,, living in singapore is very convenient many taxi n bus n mrt,, n only one season for weather ,, its quite safe too,, anyway funny orang utan 🤣,, n ur wife is so cute,, , Looking forward for more video,, Huat Ah ,, 😬👍,,
Ghib-san's wife has a sweet voice but seems like she can be very fierce, based on her reaction to the mentioning of people not flushing toilets. Hahahah
I cant imagine my daughter have to endure the test each and every time she need to fly and back before saliva-based PCR test is available. But she's not complaining😥
the act of giving Ang Pao..is actually for luck.. in the past, "red packet" can just be a 20cent coin wrapped in a red paper. it's just that these days ppl make it fancy with proper red packets and more money. it is traditionally that the "mystical beast" 年獸，is chased away on new year by Loud Noise (fire cracker and banging on gongs and such) and also bright colors . like Red, so ppl wear red and give red packet as a blessing or luck with a small token of money. however traditionally you dun give out red packet until you get married and have a family.
Nice to hear your wife’s voice. Very sweet! And lovely to see both of you engage together! If not, I would have mistaken that u marry her becoz of her charismatic mother (your funny mother-in-law)! Just kidding. U got a great family here!
I had an experience where I gave up my seat to an elderly man in Tokyo, got reprimanded instead. Ever since then, whenever I want to give up seats, I just get up and start walking to the next cabin instead. Of course not everyone was like that but I didn't want to encounter that againw Also, I definitely agree that there's a lot more social pressure in Singapore to give up your seat. You can easily get stomped or be on Facebook for that.
Food price in Singapore is high because of high rental price, low in hawker and coffee shops also because rental is lower. I presume it is the same anywhere else. Of course Japan doesn’t have venues like a hawker centre, otherwise food price would be equally cheap I think
Don’t get me wrong, some do! Especially in rural areas. People living in big cities are too stressed and tired - resulting in less sympathy towards others in my opinion
都心に住んでいますが、妊娠中通勤電車に乗ると、ほぼ100%の確率で席を譲ってもらえました！しかも譲ってくれるのは男性が多く、日本人も捨てたもんじゃないなあと思いましたよ。 I live in the centre of Tokyo. When I was pregnant, I got offered a seat almost every time I got on a train to commute!
Yes, my neighbour (1 storey up) smoke and blow out of window, he is not wrong, but the wind blow into my house, it's almost like facing him/her and blow straight into my nose. The smell is so strong, I believe his/her lung is so badly damaged, and that makes it scary to breathe in the 2nd hand smoke. And flushing the toilet, why is it too much effort to press the flush? the toilet is cleaner than your mobile phone, in case you wonder. Everyone keep clean and we will be using clean toilet. DON'T give excuse like saving water.
Smoking in public is not illegal in SG. If it’s illegal then why you can buy cigarettes from public shops 😂😂 It’s only in Orchard where you can’t smoke out of the designated smoking area.
@@GhibOjisan The cheapest I ever had in Japan (proper meal) was already JPY500. Beef bowl too. Sinkies are lucky to have SGD3 food (and yet everyday there is significant noise to whine that it is expensive).
The only place i appreciate 2nd hand smoke is in the public toilet. Those that are really public, not those in nice malls and hotels. I'm sure everyone agrees 😂 I think a lot of rules and laws are placed there not to really be enforced but to let people exercise some responsibility and not go too far and it serves as a guideline so even if they are breaking them,people will not feel stressed out but if someone start being an idiot about it at least the laws are there to charge them with it.
No 2nd-hand tobacco smoke is good to be inhaled, friend. I know exactly what you mean by "Those that are really public..."; amongst one of those is the processed beer outlets. Next time, just take note of the name of that outlet, indicate clearly the block nbr, got address better still then inform the Environment Ministry. They will swoop down on the establishment. Your info needs to be precise & accurate.
I used to pay for the wet wipes coz was not aware they can be excluded in the bill. Nowadays I don't pay mainly coz I don't need them. If bo bian, e.g. Kid finger or face very sticky and no wet wipe in my bag, then will use and pay for the wet wipe. 😂

Was thinking if my friends might think those who use wet tissue in restaurants here in Singapore are gullible as they might deem the cost of wet tissue here (S$3 IIRC) to be a rip-off
In LA, ramen are at least $15+ (+Tax and tip) in a restaurant, comes out to be close to $20+... kinda normal priced here.
Wow Ghib i didnt know being naked at home can be fine 2000$,,, walau 🤣,, i like ramen but here takai wa , in osaka ipudo i only pay 500 yen n hongmani oishi wa hehe,, living in singapore is very convenient many taxi n bus n mrt,, n only one season for weather ,, its quite safe too,, anyway funny orang utan 🤣,, n ur wife is so cute,, , Looking forward for more video,, Huat Ah ,, 😬👍,,
Ghib-san's wife has a sweet voice but seems like she can be very fierce, based on her reaction to the mentioning of people not flushing toilets. Hahahah
I cant imagine my daughter have to endure the test each and every time she need to fly and back before saliva-based PCR test is available. But she's not complaining😥
0:49 just started watching and I saw this hahahaha so cute
As someone who lived in tokyo for 5 years, i agree with everything listed 😆
the act of giving Ang Pao..is actually for luck.. in the past, "red packet" can just be a 20cent coin wrapped in a red paper. it's just that these days ppl make it fancy with proper red packets and more money. it is traditionally that the "mystical beast" 年獸，is chased away on new year by Loud Noise (fire cracker and banging on gongs and such) and also bright colors . like Red, so ppl wear red and give red packet as a blessing or luck with a small token of money.
however traditionally you dun give out red packet until you get married and have a family.
Nice to hear your wife’s voice. Very sweet! And lovely to see both of you engage together!
If not, I would have mistaken that u marry her becoz of her charismatic mother (your funny mother-in-law)! Just kidding. U got a great family here!
I had an experience where I gave up my seat to an elderly man in Tokyo, got reprimanded instead. Ever since then, whenever I want to give up seats, I just get up and start walking to the next cabin instead. Of course not everyone was like that but I didn't want to encounter that againw
Also, I definitely agree that there's a lot more social pressure in Singapore to give up your seat. You can easily get stomped or be on Facebook for that.
Yes it’s quite normal to get rejected like that!!
The smokers who smoke right in your face, they do that to show off that they are "cool". Some even vape while we were crossing traffic.
the heat isn't as bad in Singapore is due to the Greenry.. the trees everywhere help to reduce the heatwave in the city..
Food price in Singapore is high because of high rental price, low in hawker and coffee shops also because rental is lower. I presume it is the same anywhere else. Of course Japan doesn’t have venues like a hawker centre, otherwise food price would be equally cheap I think
In japan they give out free tissues with advistment on it. I recieved lots of free tissue and a plastic bag com folder.
Mrs Ojisan sounds so cute!!!
Gjib is localized very well, just need more natural sounding singlish to become perfect 🤣🤣
I gotta say I'm a little surprised the Japanese don't give up their train seats.. I always thought if any culture would, it would be Japanese culture.
Don’t get me wrong, some do! Especially in rural areas. People living in big cities are too stressed and tired - resulting in less sympathy towards others in my opinion
都心に住んでいますが、妊娠中通勤電車に乗ると、ほぼ100%の確率で席を譲ってもらえました！しかも譲ってくれるのは男性が多く、日本人も捨てたもんじゃないなあと思いましたよ。
I live in the centre of Tokyo. When I was pregnant, I got offered a seat almost every time I got on a train to commute!
Luvd tis vid💜...(.food so expensiv n portions gettin smaller...fedup la....
Yes, my neighbour (1 storey up) smoke and blow out of window, he is not wrong, but the wind blow into my house, it's almost like facing him/her and blow straight into my nose. The smell is so strong, I believe his/her lung is so badly damaged, and that makes it scary to breathe in the 2nd hand smoke.
And flushing the toilet, why is it too much effort to press the flush? the toilet is cleaner than your mobile phone, in case you wonder. Everyone keep clean and we will be using clean toilet. DON'T give excuse like saving water.
Amused to hear Singaporean’s comments on the sideline, in Singlish no less! Cheers to your witty wife! 😁
The monkey voice acting is so cute~
I really love how the wife is the toy monkey 😂
Japanese relationships with Chinese have improved much since WW2 ...more kind & peaceful
Smoking in public is not illegal in SG.
If it’s illegal then why you can buy cigarettes from public shops 😂😂
It’s only in Orchard where you can’t smoke out of the designated smoking area.
It is illegal to smoke within 5m of any entrance. So it's not completely illegal to smoke in public but it's very restricted.
5:59 omg i want that
Nice video
Good job
👍your wife is a true Singaporean!
omg! there's so much sass in your wifey! I like!!! :P lol
Support your wife's opinion 👍👍👍
Ghib:Japanese people come..😃
Wife:Singaporeans run away..😃😃
It is very difficult to find a proper meal for JPY250 in Japan. Almost impossible. It is easy to find one in Singapore for SGD3.
I miss the days when beef bowls only cost 280yen!
@@GhibOjisan The cheapest I ever had in Japan (proper meal) was already JPY500. Beef bowl too. Sinkies are lucky to have SGD3 food (and yet everyday there is significant noise to whine that it is expensive).
Japanese will not give up their seats for pregnant women too. Personally experienced it in Osaka...
The only place i appreciate 2nd hand smoke is in the public toilet. Those that are really public, not those in nice malls and hotels. I'm sure everyone agrees 😂
I think a lot of rules and laws are placed there not to really be enforced but to let people exercise some responsibility and not go too far and it serves as a guideline so even if they are breaking them,people will not feel stressed out but if someone start being an idiot about it at least the laws are there to charge them with it.
No 2nd-hand tobacco smoke is good to be inhaled, friend. I know exactly what you mean by "Those that are really public..."; amongst one of those is the processed beer outlets. Next time, just take note of the name of that outlet, indicate clearly the block nbr, got address better still then inform the Environment Ministry. They will swoop down on the establishment. Your info needs to be precise & accurate.
I used to pay for the wet wipes coz was not aware they can be excluded in the bill. Nowadays I don't pay mainly coz I don't need them. If bo bian, e.g. Kid finger or face very sticky and no wet wipe in my bag, then will use and pay for the wet wipe. 😂
