Great discussion of personal experiences and perceptions of life in Japan. I value your views and adding another viewpoint was enriching and very enjoyable.
It was an outstanding conversation. Maggie is very interesting, charming, and typically well spoken as a German. The cultural differences and observations were fascinating. Please keep up the good work, Mike Sensei. Yoku dekimashita.
This video is so great! I can't believe it doesn't have thousands of views. I really loved the effort you both put into it. I'll come back and thank you again in a few days(Japanese humor?)
This was so interesting i would love to see more content like this please. I am Australian with German heritage, and I would one day like to have an extended holiday in Japan.
Hi Mike...I like this. I'm about to make my transition to Japan. It definitely wasn't an easy process of getting the long term VISA, but in a couple of months, I'll be moving from Hawaii to retire in Japan. I'm looking forward to this next phase of my life. It'll initially be a challenge, but am excited to everything that awaits me. Keep up the great work and I do appreciate your great videos.
Mike, I offer my seat to a person that is old or using a cane, and if they hesitate, I say "I am getting off at the next station"...and that usually works... I then wait at the nearby door, get off at the next station (bow if they are looking at me) and walk further away and get into the next car.
Hi Mike.... i am 50% Japanese on my mother's side and have relatives living in Japan. Do you know how hard it would be for me to stay in Japan permanently?? I would love to live near my relatives as i have no one except my immediate family here in the states. I am a US citizen by birth.
If you have lived in the US for most of your life, the transition into living in Japan would be challenging at the beginning. But after that whether one stays or not, would depend a lot on people's personalities, mindsets, and priorities. Thanks for sharing!
I would say Japan frowns on too many foreigners in their homeland, I can respect that. That's why they dont allow many immigrants. They want to keep their special culture. Too many immigrants, foreign resident, even too many tourists can often erase that culture. Good luck Nihon! 👍👍
Wow cant say how impressed i am by this video. All these german and japanese comparisons is fascinating.

That’s what the world needs more of! Random acts of kindness! Well done!
