Japan: train arrives early = surprised face Britain: train arrives on time = surprised face Latvia: train arrives = surprised face Zimbabwe: a train = surprised face
One of my parents is Japanese and she was the first to tell me about the fact that speaking aloud on mobile devices on public transport is seen as very disrespectful and frowned upon in Japan. Being from the UK, I couldn't imagine having the same principles applied to our public transport.
Everything is rude in Japan. Let's be real: It's a society of rules, germophobia, racism, and radical judgement. There's ceremony and ritual for every damn thing and people just go with it. That part at least is commendable. I rather enjoy having the freedom to be gross.
yeah the face of that girl at 3:56 said everything :D very silent, cultural , ethic and respectful people they are. but at the same time sad lonely and suicidal just because of that.
i saw this episode ages ago but after having studied japanese for a number of years (and after having lived there) it's hilarious to watch them struggle with Japanese. The best part was when they were like "The ice-skating man with the picnic table...but that's a man on skis playing a harp next to it" hahaha exactly how I felt when I first started learning Japanese.
Kevin Lentz as another American, I second this. So three hilarious Brits left the bbc and have joined the American Amazon. I think both countries appreciate the show greatly.
Yea, but let's not believe everything they say. All AMG engines are hand-built and they publish their bhp. Also, why would the tolerances of a hand-built engine be so huge that bhp varies greatly across cars?
I took a year of Japanese classes(although I've forgotten most of it) and it was pretty easy to pick up. The fact that it is entirely phonetic makes it simpler to remember words and phrases.
No I know they were called datsun. It's just the way he says it reminded me of when they had the run to the border episode and he called the lfa a "celica" as to make fun of the car. I had a 1985 celica gt that I loved and it was like he was making fun of my baby.
7:20 Exactly, I love Japanese mountains but there are a bit too many of them. I'd like to export some of them to your British Isles if you're in need of some undulations.
In Japan, you're not supposed to talk on the phone on the train/subway. Although for those long-distance trains, you can talk in hallway located between the cars where the doors and toilets are. 7:52 Never mind. They fixed their mistake. :)
I was the first time in Japan in 1999 and it was like that. super friendly people, lovely food, but nothing in English. And today one just uses translate google with the phone camera and understands it all. I actually preferred 1999
I'm Japanese. The car navigation first said to Jeremy, "There is a road regulation ahead. Drive carefully, please."
Thank you!

And Richard was more bothered about the race lol

Your timestamp is wrong
It's 7:36
3:10 James May really had an eyegasm there. He has a thing for trains and collects models of them.
Jeremy Clarkson is the only man that can take a wrong turn driving straight on a Japanese highway and end up in Switzerland.
At least if he had to use public transport in either country, he wouldn't be late!
James and Richard experiencing Japan is one of the best things i have ever watched
One of my parents is Japanese and she was the first to tell me about the fact that speaking aloud on mobile devices on public transport is seen as very disrespectful and frowned upon in Japan. Being from the UK, I couldn't imagine having the same principles applied to our public transport.

Why is it considered rude... what if you have an important call to make

This is the first time ever that I know of things like it is rude to use a telephone on the train in Japan. Thank you, Top Gear blokes.
People of the world you have no idea how happy this kept the British male during its existence.
Alex Mallinson trust me as an American who greatly loved the show I know exactly what you are talking about
Kevin Lentz as another American, I second this. So three hilarious Brits left the bbc and have joined the American Amazon. I think both countries appreciate the show greatly.
I am American and not male and I quite liked this show.
As an American, I must ask: do you guys consider these three a national treasure?
yes, actually most of us do.
2:12 Dont try to match the symbols.. I know you are :D

this was the first time i laid my eyes on the GTR, since then, it's been my dream car to have...

it is rude to use a telephone in a train in japan
because you break the peace and or quietness in the train
shut up weeb

+Frederik Olsen But they'll let you, if you do it silently and politely, ask for help with a text message. ;)

I wish that it's like that here in Canada too. Haha
+Joanna Paula Mabascog damn
Richards face when he’s caught speaking on the phone on the train is brilliant
Nissan say it produces 470bhp and 1 car had 507 - that's quite a difference. I'd expect them to be slightly different, but not almost 40bhp.
As long as it's more bhp it's not bad
Then one car has 200 hp
Yea, but let's not believe everything they say. All AMG engines are hand-built and they publish their bhp. Also, why would the tolerances of a hand-built engine be so huge that bhp varies greatly across cars?
Its like a surprise egg od horsepower from the company

Being scolded for talking and especially talking on a phone in a train... Haha, that's Japan for you.

These guys were and forever will be Top Gear. The balls on BBC thinking they could replace them is laughable.
"Don't try to match the symbols, I know you are." xD Richard knows James too well!

I wish we have Japanese efficiency in America for our trains. Free passes and an excuse for our bosses if we are late.
Hammond and May could have taken the Nagano Shinkansen to Tokyo, which is a direct route.
It wasn't there in 2010
If they decided to do a rematch, then possibly.
Not sure if you...well....hmm, i dont think thats possible.
