As a Singaporean, I’m always surprised and amused when Japanese people compliment Singapore as a country cleaner than theirs. Despite having more trash cans in public spaces in Singapore, it’s still common to see litter around where I stay and school in the northern side. Japan however does not have as many trash cans in public areas but is still cleaner in my perspective, I guess it could be mainly due to differences in culture and social norms such as the Japanese upbringing to hold onto their trash no matter how small it is in their pockets until they could find a trash can to discard it
Wow! Absolutely true. I was at Ueno Park and I saw an old lady at least 70+ and she was having a snack. After she finished, she neatly folded the wrapper and kept it in her bag! Absolutely no littering👍
@@mokhtaramin2011 Agreed. I always wished Singapore has a similar culture or societal norm but then again Singapore is a multi-racial, multi-religious and multi-cultural country and its population made of people from all walks of life, it may be difficult to get everyone to practice the same when everyone are influenced by the culture of their race, religion, country of origin or upbringing
@@martinlee7875 I think all Asian cultures and religions teach cleanliness. Its the people who lack culture and are not religious who may tend to lack civil and social consciousness.
My family all miss Japan and visited many of the places in the videos just before covid. And Ghib is the best ambassador for Singapore and Japan. enjoy 😁👍
I am a westerner living in Singapore for last 3 years and followed your channel for some time. You have inspired me to finally visit Japan (always wanted to) and now I just booked my first trip there (as it was so overdue anyway) as you gave me confidence now - appreciate the coverage and insights you have given. You're reconnecting countries and people with your videos. Thank you!
@Flare Seems like you don’t know anything about Japan. Singapore is a multiracial country. Japan is a more racist place. And you have to work extra hours in Japan if not you’ll be fired. LMAO
@Flare if you working with a Japanese in sg then you know the high standards they placed in work even if they are in sg. Generally, I would avoid working in firms with japanese management in place.
Great format and editing, love the interviews, it's hilarious how we think Japan is cleaner and they think Singapore is lol! Japan is on my travel list once it's open definitely.
Great video! Japanese people are so much more approachable and fun than Singaporeans when it comes to public interviews! I can feel the positive energy from the video interviews in Japan.
i disagree, Singaporeans are very approachable too😂😂especially if you go further from the city and actually interact with people in the neighbourhood areas like Bedok or Tampines, the community spirit in these areas are very strong and friendlier than if you just go to Sentosa, CBD or specific tourist spots lol
Thank you so much for the great video! Used to work in Japan many years ago… missing the 100 Yen shop (is there such a shop anymore?) and the Okonomiyaki in Japan is the food I like the most! 👍👍
Would you consider yourself an envoy for Singapore or Japan? I think it’s both 🤓 it’s so surreal to witnessed a Japanese making a survey on the Japanese on what they think of Singapore from a Japanese living in Singapore 🤣🥰😘 Keep up your production….now that covid19 is kind of passé but, not yet! I’ve not got the time to catch your UA-cam 😚
oh wow i love seeing osaka again! luckily went for a trip before everything happened, i miss japan and the food and everything else so much! would love to travel there again, thank you for this! 👏🏼👏🏼
Can’t wait to visit Japan. I’ve never been on my own holiday before so I booked a ticket to Japan. Unfortunately I booked it on April 2020. So I had to cancel it. Been having a bad case of wanderlust ever since. If/When they open to tourists, I’m definitely going. The sudden influx and huge groups of tourists will be a turn off though, even though I’ll be part of that problem. But after going through something like the pandemic, I just feel like I need to quickly see the world before anything like it happens again. Although it is disheartening to hear a portion of the Japanese population are not looking forward to their borders opening since they like the reduced crowds. I would love to see and explore Japan but just feels uneasy if the hosts are lowkey not wanting to welcome you. But at the same time, I understand too, tourists are one of the most annoying groups of people
@@klio9410 I got into this programme called the jet programme (idk if you’ve heard of it)!! There are 2 positions you can apply for, ALT (teaching English), and CIR (where you usually, but not always, get placed in a local government and do stuff like translation, interpretation and/or international relation activities, but you have to have at least JLPT N2 equivalent of Japanese for that. You don’t actually have to have the qualification, as long as you can prove it to them during the interview).
I think the top favorite destinations for Japanese will be like Hawaii, European countries and US. For business people, there will be more familiar with where singapore is located. You will be surprised many singaporeans don't know where Sabah is located, even though it is quite near to singapore. Haha.
@9:58 I recognise that ManHill restaurant.... its situated at Pasir Panjang in Singapore, and u are right, their paper chicken really makes u drool....
Singaporeans know takosen because they watched ur prev video on it 😂 (that’s me). I have the image that Japanese don’t really travel overseas till they r older (unless it was a high school trip). Many of my Japanese frens whom I met in singapore during uni days told me it was their first time in singapore and some even had their passports for the first time.
I mean, of course the fellow would say he prefer Malaysia over Singapore. Why would someone go all the way far down to SE Asia from Japan to Singapore when you can get the same Chinese culture and food from nearby China just next to Japan lol
Come to Singapore for what when you can't finish touring Tokyo enuff and when Singapore got no fun & nothing amazing to provide. Quality fun & shopping is right there in Tokyo 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Have you considered collaborating with That Japanese Man Yuta during your time in Japan currently? Would be interesting to see a discussion/sharing video from both of you! 😄
Japan is definitely cleaner. People litters everywhere in Singapore especially the housing estates. Cigarette butts are everywhere from pavements, roads n grass patches..
I think the longer you stay in a place, the higher the chance you have of seeing the rare instance of trash one day. Which explains why the other thinks one is cleaner.
Japanese think Singapore is expensive and Singaporeans think Japan is expensive.. lol i guess its the same, i visited back in 2009 back then for 10 days, i spent like S$750 for the NWA airline 2 way ticket to Tokyo bought from a travel fair, and paid $550 for the 7 day JR Pass, i was thinking wow i spent over S$1200 before i even left Singapore. and its not even counting hotel. back then the exchange rate for Yen to SGD was much higher. 1 SGD to 65 Yen i believe back in 2009, now its 92 Yen. My Trip cost me over S$3k which actually if you consider its a 10 days trip it wasnt much, if we didnt spend on the JR Pass, we saved a lot by sharing rooms in budget hotels, so average night was ard S$60 per person. i would want to go back to Japan again some day. i used to think that i will have problems if i cant speak Japanese, but i realized its not as bad, in major cities, we stayed in Ikebukuro upon arriving There are a lot of English in the signboards and the JR station staffs are very helpful and do attempt to converse with you in English as well as they can.

@K Y that's my point exactly. Littering has nothing to do with religion. Anyway I do not think Asian countries believe in anything and everything.
@K Y I love how you just contradicted yourself. How low is your IQ? 🤭

Isn’t the borders still closed for tourists?
I booked an award ticket using points, quite some time from now - but allows for free cancellation changes 😉
There’s no need to tell the whole world that ur gonna go to japan.
I love how you incorporate the lah leh lor and aiyo in your subtitles. 👍🏻
As a Singaporean, I hope Japan opens up soon. I miss Japan so much.
@Flare Are you seriously saying Singapore is a very stressful country? Have you seen Japan’s work culture? LMAO.
@Flare Seems like you don’t know anything about Japan. Singapore is a multiracial country. Japan is a more racist place. And you have to work extra hours in Japan if not you’ll be fired. LMAO
@Flare The work culture in Japan is definitely more stressful than Singapore's.

Actually to each its own. Every countries has its own flaw..

What is Ebisubashi?

Thank you for sharing your trips. Really miss Japan and hope to travel soon. Have a pleasant new week ahead. Stay safe and take care.
Loving the Japan series especially the episode with your family. Hope you both enjoy your time
I was lucky to have visited Tokyo in Feb 2020 just before the pandemic and I hope to visit Japan again soon! I have fond memories of being there.
I'm a Singaporean I love Japan and the people there they are so nice :D
Thank you for satiating our curiosity!
Miss Japan so much!! And it’s way cleaner despite hardly having dustbins around!
man, watching you bite into that tako-san (spelling?) brought a smile to my face. I'm so happy that you're happy!!

I love Google translate
The elderly man sitting on the floor...has a sign that says.."I haven't eaten anything from the morning of 5th April"? (O_o) Is he ok Ghib?
I hope to visit Japan again! Was suppose to go on a date there however, due to borders we had to postpone it a year later. 日本にまた行きたいです、、、
i am from singapore and have been to japan soo many times i love the atmosphere and weather there and everyone is really nice 😊

Is not that near actually

Thank You for sharing what it looks like in Osaka! I miss Japan as a whole & I can’t wait to go back again!
I had to cancel my trip to japan in early 2020 bcos of the outbreak. I want to return there badly.
thanks for the introduction,keep it up!
I went to Japan, my first time was in Tokyo and Mount. Fuji back in 2017.
6:56 me like… “I still can’t believe I still can’t go back to Osaka ??”
great interview. 👍
日本の方がもっと綺麗と思います！

I recognise that ManHill restaurant.... its situated at Pasir Panjang in Singapore, and u are right, their paper chicken really makes u drool....
6:00 mother in law always so cute. 😂😂😂
i LOVE the singlish captions xD
I was at douguyasuji some years back and totally missed uranamba hahhaha I also missed the takosen! guess Im going back next round
First ✊🏻
Love your content bro keep up with the good work cheers
Thanks 😊
When MIL didn't hear your question hahahaha!!
Ahh, Japan is healing!! I want to try takosen next time!!
Japan opening up in June and it's time to head back to Osaka!
The schoolgirl in the middle is so cute :) Great video as always!!
Same same lah! No change lah! Like repeating! Hahahahaahahahaha
Two different sentences with literally the same meaning. 😂
Just the starting and that "sorry ah" hehe. Very Singaporean~
Great introduction Mr. JitPun
Had takosen at the 100AM dondondonki before! Not sure if they still sell it now.
Soon you will be approached by Singapore Tourist Promotion Board and Japan Hour. Keep up the good work!
Wow, Osaka looks so empty. I was there in 2016 and it was so crowded. It really feels like a dead town now. Even SG has more people running around.
I like how your subtitles are in Singlish 🤣🤣🤣
Singaporeans know takosen because they watched ur prev video on it 😂 (that’s me). I have the image that Japanese don’t really travel overseas till they r older (unless it was a high school trip).

I think there is a typo at 2:11 she actually says 少なかったらいいです which basically means "if it's just a few that's fine"
I mean, of course the fellow would say he prefer Malaysia over Singapore. Why would someone go all the way far down to SE Asia from Japan to Singapore when you can get the same Chinese culture and food from nearby China just next to Japan lol
The thing is Singapore Chinese culture is totally different from mainland
Their culture is more old and traditional.

Hi, look for me …. Cycling around Singapore
The translation into Singlish is quite funny leh !😅😅
際どいオッサンにも質問しているところスゴイwww
Went to Japan before but Japan is cleaner than SG though. Esp the toilet. Super impressed. But i do think things are more expensive in Japan than SG.
your singlish subtitlt 😂👍

It's surreal when Japanese say Singapore is expensive/costly. I used to think Japan's cost of living is high.
where is this shopping place in Japan?
The way he speaks, we knew he is a Singaporean
But we Malaysian need to take care of cleanliness too
The girls are so cute!
