so me without deodorant for more than
two days you don't want to be around me
so many machines all kinds ik everything
is so cool hey guys it's Kat to get oh
my gosh what is that it's so weird
this time we're going on as foreigners
in Japan about the weirdest thing that
they experienced when they came to Japan
they're actually some over a ship and
his viewers who find us on the streets
of Tokyo so it was really great to get
their opinions on certain things so
let's go and ask foreigners in Japan and
don't forget hit the subscribe button so
become one of our followers - and click
on the notification symbol let's go oh
$3 robber 300 yen ramen and it's amazing
it's the best thing you've ever says hey
and this time we're gonna ask them what
culture shock would wield culture shock
you experienced when he came to Japan so
let me know I have to say like it wasn't
that bad because I've read a lot about
it before but one thing that I really
notice is how different but at the same
time say me all the buildings look
because they obviously more than they're
using more than building technology so
to use some words they look somewhat
similar but still like a completely
different style and and and the whole
thing just just you know kind of kind of
different sentiment abated all there was
the biggest thing I noticed mentioning
that we are both from Germany and we
send we tend to have cities that look
kind of the same right all the buildings
look the same yeah it's not like this
like you you everything looks new and
everything but you have two buildings
next to each other they look completely
different that's okay yeah that was a
bit of thing that's I think yeah good
point good point bi I know for example
one of the villages close to where my
mom lives they have like a rule on like
every house has to look traditional
German yeah yeah you can have like a
pink house next to a shrine next to a
traditional Japanese house that's crazy
okay close to shag let me now talk first
I guess because of food and the court is
it can be expensive or cheap but here it
doesn't seem too
matter what the price is it will still
be super delicious and it's awesome and
bet that uh I'm from New York and ramen
in New York will be like like yeah at
$10 $15 $20 and here it's like Oh $3
Robin 300 yen ramen and it's amazing
it's the best thing you've ever tasted
Japanese people love food a lot so I
think that's one of the reasons why is
so tasty
that's no tasting why is it so cheap I
think it's great come to Tokyo what is
your favorite ramen place very rotten
place is ah it's actually Nicki buco
there is this it's like the spiciest
ramen it's like super spicy and you can
barely eat it where it's just super
flavorful wait what's the name of the
price where is it yeah it's like only
standing yeah that's it yep it's only
standing and you have to stand there you
wait there for a second you sit down you
eat your ramen and you practically die
from how hot it was
you just said it's called Nakamoto son
right okay Nakamoto Nikabrik our guys
look it up honestly the lack of rubbish
bins area like I'll buy a drink and then
I'm carrying it around for three hours
cuz there's no way to put it three hours
come on all day today and also just how
nice and welcoming everybody is is just
like it's the best thing ever and I
absolutely love it I want to stay here
forever
I can see you dress really cute right
now so dressing in this style at home
and dressing in this style here in Japan
what's the difference well I feel like
Japanese people are so welcoming of
individuality and not conforming to you
know what everybody else is wearing so
like if I wore this at home I'd get a
lot of weird looks but I don't really
care but I just feel really comfortable
just doing whatever we're in whatever
here so it's great biggest culture shock
weird culture shock what surprised you
when it came to Japan just how trusting
and supportive and helpful everyone has
been I've gotten lost on the trains and
the subways and people have gone above
and beyond to help me and be supportive
and friendly
open and shopping in certain stores
people have been overly helpful and just
really really nice and just it's been a
good experience so far
that's like culture shock what Chuck do
the most in their just how people just
have they'll stop what they're doing and
go the extra mile to help you
there's I've been going in so many
different directions and people have
stopped what they're doing going in
their directions to help me and take me
a long way out of their way just to be
helpful and put me on the right
direction so I've always appreciated the
help and it's really nice to meet people
who are willing to go that extra mile
and care for someone else so it's really
nice final one I'm sure many people have
already said something I hope they
didn't take away what you wanted to say
good I have so many but I'll give you
two so one is people here don't wear
deodorant apparently or they don't need
it as much we went to this 7/11 and it
was like really hard to find
so me without deodorant for more than
two days you don't want to be around me
so so I need my deodorant and the second
thing is people really are orderly and
they obey the traffic laws in New York
which is where I lived for eight years
we just walk whenever we if there's no
cars coming we just go across the street
but here people obey doesn't matter if
there's cars or not they obey all the
traffic laws and this in the street
signs so that's really like says this a
lot about the Japanese people know how
orderly they are and how much they
follow the rules so just go through all
of you guys what's the weirdest thing
you've seen when you came to Japan like
this thing where you go like that is so
strange maybe funny cutter Streisand it
what a hell's going on oh I think I
think it's weird that they're really
relying on cash here as opposed to cards
I'm so used to using card for everything
I don't ever carry cash at home like
ever so when I found out like a lot of
please don't accept cards I'm like this
is weird
but not a bad thing necessarily I think
what a lot of Americans mention that
because you use cash like barely at all
right no we don't use cash because I
mean people I think it's also like a
safety thing I think people that are
scared if they carry cash you're gonna
get robbed versus here people don't
think about crime like that just like an
afterthought yeah all the way around
exactly right
yeah just first impression everywhere I
go there's some really cool vending
machines you can get ramen vending
machines all kinds of everything is so
cool everything is accessible and it's
kind of interesting it's an interesting
way they like have service in different
things yeah I think another thing that's
weird for me is that um like only like
taxis are not really a popular here
unless like you're rich or you have like
a lot of money like I looked up and how
much it would cost to take it over to
the airport I offer all the time I live
in LA so I over all the time I over to
work every day because I have a car yet
and an uber to like the airport from
like where we are which is like San
gangaiah it's like 267 dollars or like
26 thousand yen so it's just like that's
that's not a thing and in the States
isn't really established in Japan yet
they have uber eats the food part but
all the taxis here are like official
taxi no that's so strange to me but I
mean it's everybody takes a train so but
then I was asking my friend I'm like
well what do you do at 4:00 a.m. when
the train stopped and you're out
drinking you need to get home what do
you do I don't know to take a taxi then
but they will charge more oh so
basically don't be stranded then
oh I said you go have fun and go party
everything knows the clothes everything
goes down the Train stuff so all the
places open up the bars the karaoke
places Union doors so many places in
Tokyo they actually say dude the first
train comes the first train starts
around 6:00 so I said so in America like
if you need to go to the gym and you can
have like that you can bring a friend or
have a buddy pass here like they don't
allow that like you have to be a member
of a gym in order to go in and that's
like weird because like in America we
share stuff like that but here it's not
like that people who come here for short
periods of time have a problem finding a
gym because most of the contracts are
quite long as well interesting yeah
that's weird to me Jim but they surprise
see when I was in Odaiba right there was
just several ways to take your pet out
essentially like I've seen baby
characters I've seen backpacks
I've seen people would simply just
holding meerkats before yeah I've seen
that before the weirdest one actually at
all that was just a woman walking her
cat and she was like an oboe John so she
was like really like kinda old and
she was just walking this cat but you
know cats aren't like that so the cats
kind of walking her and she's going this
way cat goes up a tree and I'm just
literally sitting here just like you're
really doing this this is happening and
that's really all that was that's the
weirdest breath I've had I sat there for
30 minutes I've seen at one person just
walking like some kind of rodent on a
leash in the park before that Grodin
that is water that loves water I don't
know what exactly was it wasn't a beaver
but everything about her it was honor
yes there was a guy walking an order on
a leash in your yogi Park existence
you're only in Japan I think the way the
thing I've seen so far was like on my
first day so I was I was still like like
leimia like spark in my eye looking at
everything new and amazing and I walk I
walk towards my mom and hostel and then
I just see on my rights there's like a
huge like like a store with like a big
window a window pane and behind the
window there's just a bunch of like like
half a dozen middle-aged women who just
just basically they just they just like
like that they're there there it's a
school where you learn how to properly
shave your dogs we have like like like
funny funny kind of hairstyle yeah
exactly yeah thank you exactly like like
a schoolteacher we're going to teach
women to style dogs and I was obviously
like I was like right next to a hostel I
saw a bunch of times and every time they
had obviously they had to use new dogs
and I was just wondering where did you
get some like it was all those toasters
those like pools and then all I like
white and fluffy where they get all
those dogs like they have to they have
to have like a hundred dogs at every
every week or every three months for
only I gets it's incredible
that was pretty weird but there was also
black kind of kind of fun to always walk
walk by you have to say sugar question
what do they get all the fluffy poodles
from for the daily shaving those where
those questions were going to add
another question what videos do you
enjoy that we guys do like which video
did you enjoy the most or what would you
like to see more of or what I did it
helps you in any way let's go um I like
all the little travel vlogs just gonna
gonna see the real Tokyo and Japan and
it's like really puts you out there and
I really like it playing awesome
how are you yeah I am as I said before
like I run a travel company actually
these guys are my customers I guess I
mean this is my photographer we provide
all that with our service so because of
that I've loved all your views where you
show awesome cool things around like
little places and I had to end up going
there and I'm like oh that's cool I'm
just like I kind of natural reactions
and I think the videos may just ask
people on the street or just literally
my favorite things in the world just
layer just to hear what Japanese will
say and the fact that you have English
subtitles it is amazing and I may maybe
have many videos about like teaching
people how to navigate a few things like
maybe they don't like trains and so with
that that would be really cool as well
because then I get something so my short
customers that's a good idea we might do
that in the future director do we get a
thumbs up
[Laughter]
culture shock there is another culture
shock I experienced in Japan which I
didn't know I was in a meeting with my
manager on two other TV personalities
and since they're guided we were talking
to had one leg all over the other like
this sitting there like that
cross-legged I thought I'll do that too
I was wearing her skirts and no keeping
everything nice and tight together but
turns out later on my manager told me
off for that because she said people who
are in a position over you they are
allowed to cross their legs while you
were he got kind of not in the position
over you hierarchy wise you're not
supposed to cross your leg in front of
that person I learned something new
there's one of the many culture shocks
that I experienced here in Japan more of
that is on my personal YouTube channel
