    What timing! My school is hosting Indian students and teachers now. The cultural differences are massive and challenging. Two of the biggest though are definitely "chaos" because all the guests are constantly trying to ask or express without waiting for me to reply to another person, and the second being "food" because Japan is definitely hard for vegetarians who are visiting only for a short period of time.

    I think the visible difference of 'chaos' and 'order' is somehow an outcome rather than being the culture itself. Spontaneity is very much appreciated and welcomed in India; while Indians priorities accomodating and making other person feel included, Japanese priorities not to ever inconvenience other people.
    Indians view public space as 'it's my space as well' while Japanese are more mindful of 'it's their space as well'.
    Maybe its the effect of colonization, the civil disobedience movement (point of which is to cause inconvenience) and the still fresh memory of The Emergency, has made Indians be more assertive and appreciative of our social liberty in public spaces, rather than self- restricting themselves.
    Somebody mentioned in the comments about Indians just hanging around and socializing in the roadside, which was something that got banned during The Emergency and still sometimes gets restricted if Section 144 is declared for a curfew.
    We are way too used to strikes, sit-ins and road blockades; civil disobedience and intentional inconveniencing itself is second nature Indian sociopolitics

Uncultured louts open windows of moving buses and spit out, not caring if their "second nature" lands on a pedestrian or someone else in traffic. Is this what you attribute to "assertive and appreciative of our social liberty"?

    I was in Tokyo in the first week of May. I feel as an Indian, you will like Japan more if you are an introvert. People leave you to your devices, and you can get by with your daily routine with very little interaction needed with people as a tourist. If you are however an extrovert, and like to interact and talk a lot, you might find it a bit difficult to approach people, and unless you know a bit of Japanese, it can get quite alienating.

    Love Japan. I go there on business trips. Strong homogenous culture, cleanliness, orderliness, externally zen calm, introspective, non- intrusive, friendly, highly respectful and courteous to others, punctual, not publicly noisy, focus on quality over quantity, mostly not too religious which is good (shinto, buddist, christians but some subtly deeply religious), some deep rooted hidden stuff like himitsu-bako, great public transportation, company man, a bit too procedural, non- rule breakers and hence not situationally flexible. Less choice for vegetarians - go to buddist temples that serve vegetarian food or cook yourself. Conversational Japanese is a must. Be hygenic and wear a mask to protect others, if you have even slighest of sniffle - that is expected courtesy. Keep social distancing when talking. In trains do not try to talk or chat up, especially in a crowded train. Do not just land up but plan ahead and inform your host, go only if invited and do not gate crash like in Indian weddings 😅

    Nice interviews and perspectives. I haven't been to Japan. But from what I read and see (online, books, TV, Movies), Japanese are highly disciplined, systematic and perfectionists. The making of a Samurai Sword and the fine art of cutting Fugu fish, the Japanese calligraphy, the paintings, poems (Haiku) are hallmarks of civilization that respects perfection and art. I believe, Japanese are artists, in life and reality.
    On the other side, India is too complicated a country to be generalized. As one Nobel Laureate noted, India is country, where whatever you say about it, the opposite will also hold true. When, former Singapore Prime Ministers was, asked, by and Indian representative, when Singapore, which is such a small country can be so clean and perfect, why India cannot. The Singapore prime minster mentioned that India is not one country, but 29 or so countries put together, each with own culture, language, food habits, and yet with something common that holds the country together.
    India is the only country where a Ferrari and Bullock Cart can travel side by side on the same road. I was once escorting, a German businessman through a heavy traffic in India. He asked, how do you drive through this Chaos. I asked, him have you played Play Station - He said yes. I told him, driving in India is a Real Time play station -He understood. As an Indian, I like the Chaos and unpredictability that India offers. This is important, because the mind gets busy overcoming these challenges. Whereas in perfectionist societies, when everything is perfect, the existential threat is minimal, and hence the high rate of depression and suicides. Regardless of which Country or Culture, the balance between Order and Chaos is key to address the existential threat that all human beings face.

    Being an Indian I honestly felt the people were pretty neutral when trying to talk about each countries pros and cons, from a cultural pov I don’t think India is much different from Japan. When we take cities like Tokyo and Mumbai for comparison sakes the families are more nuclear and people are rather independent but the close knit communities and family values are pretty much the same. The hierarchy system in workplace or the way we show respect to elders is all very much the same.

    Its kinda funny how I see that you will find Indians all across these countries but never people from these countries who actually would be living in India.

      @@rishav2205 It has nothing to do with India being a developing country. I think you both must be living under a rock. You will find a lot of Foreigners living and working in cities like New delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Goa etc. The only difference is we don't have someone like Takashi who is articulate, Polite and has empathy towards people from different countries to interview in India.

      @@andreajesuspirlo I didn't denied that there's no immigrant live in india i myself saw 2-3 times, but they are way less than what a immigration culture required to call a country immigrants ultimate destination not more than 0.5% of total population, which is the reason that chances to meet them is very low. While this is not the case with Japan & western countries.

      That's quite obvious. Have you seen a bird making its nest in sewage. No but you will find insects climbing on the tree to find shelter in the branches.

    I visited Japan (Tokyo and Osaka) in April. I really loved my short period in Japan. Both cities I visited were so clean, the people are very humble, and they love peace and quiet which is the exact opposite of India; we are noisy! Language is definitely a barrier but they did want to communicate however possible. I want to visit Japan again. Love the place.

    I would have liked to see Indian who have stayed in Japan for at least 3-4 years in this video, most of the Indian individuals seem to have lived here for only 6-8 months, so their obersvations were very high level and obvious.
