      Can you do ‘in the life of Japanese ER nurse/Doctor?” Or something in the medical field? I know it could be tricky to film in a medical setting. But would be cool to see.

      @@THEREALJOHNDOE32 Well the question wasn't to you However, since you decided to weigh in without adding anything useful or specific, I'll say this, our government is made up of elected officials. It isn't perfect, but it's the best model in history. Weirdos we have plenty of, so will anywhere else. The government is particularly bad and increasingly so. Entitlements and the welfare state are to blame. They enable and entice many people to become dependent on the government, they cluster in the cities. One of our basically two political parties hands them out and the people in turn vote for them. The longer this stays that way, the more people go on those programs and the constituency grows. Without term limits in many positions, you get career politicians whose power grows the longer they are in office. The power makes them wealthy and are able to live in nice areas shielding them from the slum areas of their voters. They don't care as long as they can continue to line their pockets. It is the same reason they are against protecting our borders. Feel free to add or just continue insult.

    As a mechanic in America I’m jealous of all the nice equipment they have there and having the Bento boxes on hand. I used to live in Japan and have often thought about going back so that kinda made me want to go back even more seeing how nice clean stuff is as well as how disciplined everyone is in how they work and how they take care of their work environment. The crane in my shop has been broken for 6 years, I’ve ran into so many situations where I’ve needed that stupid crane but my company refuses to fix it.

    Watching these "Day in the Life" videos have personally helped me better myself in my workplace culture. Seeing how dedicated the Japanese work force are to their customers and their careers really opened my eyes to just how I (and probably many others) who work in a customer service industry career forget just how important it is to approach each day with a respect to our workplace. You start to look at it as not just a job that you just do your time in and go home, but a real sense of passion to go in and do the best you can every day and to make the customers experience that much better. Unfortunately, it has been hard lately with how much the general public in America have turned all their aggression and hostility due to Covid against those of us just trying to keep businesses running so they can get access to items they need and help operate stores, restaurants, etc.. However, embracing the type of work culture I have seen on these videos has helped me create a more healthy approach to work, which as also reduced my stress and added to a more healthy work/life balance. Thank you Paolo for these amazing videos!

If so it's likely your heater core has gone bad. It's what is making the sloshing noise in either case. You can also check to see if the front passenger carpet is wet where the floor starts to slant up toward the dash / glovebox. If it is then that's your culprit.

    The team environment was so nice to see, Ive been a mechanic for over 10 years now and it is good to see the sense of pride and purpose he has as well. In the united states we have a similar relationship between apprentice and master as the sempai kohai but I bet there is far more ball busting and hazing over here. Japan seems to be more serious although this was just a look at the surface. I am jealous that he gets a long enough break to have a nap though I wish I could take a mid workday nap. I can't complain though I work in a tuning shop which is basically any mechanics dream job, it makes me a bit sad that he crashed his Supra and never went back to the touge.

    Very fascinating to see how they do work. The morning training and information session is very important to help the staff see what is going on and how their work is impacting the whole business.
    Cleaning and checking machinery before and after work may seem like a waste of time ("Let the interns do it!"), but it is important for them to do, because they are the ones using the tools and making any dirt. If they have to clean, they will also try to make less waste and be conscious about becoming more efficient.
