So Canada vs Mexico. We asked this question last time where we had America, Canada, Mexico.
America won, so we took America out so this time we had Canada vs Mexico.
We had a majority of votes for Canada and that might be
because Canada is featured much more in Japanese media. So Japanese people
know more of Canada, while many said they don't even know much about Mexico.
It's not in their books, maybe not featured in popular TV on shows and similar.
So unfortunately they don't know as much about Mexico and that's the reason why many of them didn't vote Mexico.
So guys if you are from Mexico or you have Mexican friends, please leave us comments below
and tell us what's great about Mexico so maybe some people will see that and get interested
in Mexico. I hope you enjoyed this video. If there is anything else you'd like to add to...
let us know in the comments down below. Also if you are new, don't forget to subscribe
we are doing more videos here In Japan, asking Japanese people and foreigners who come to Japan.
Hope you have a great day and catch you soon on Ask Japanese.
