I didn't really like the heated toilet seats.
It was so hot
So I was really scared.
We were in Shinjuku we ended up lost for 25 minutes because we ended up
at the wrong side of Shinjuku one day when we were here.
Hey guys this is Cathy Cat and today we will ask foreigners in Japan
about one thing that annoyed them or was inconvenient
when they came here to Japan. Let's ask foreigners in Japan.
Now this is the point where you can tell me anything you don't like
or something that was a bit annoying in Japan.
Some people can't speak much English.
When we enter a local restaurant they cannot speak English
so we cannot talk and ask them about what we want.
How you have to stand on the left side on an escalator.
Left side of the escalator, how did you figure it out?
I just watch everyone else.
It's the right in England.
So... that's it though.
A lot of the household and our hotel is sized down.
It was just hard to adjust to because everything is smaller
compared to where we are. Everything is more expanded. It's not so bad.
Just adjusting to the left side.
Be on the left side and make sure. We are always blocking oncoming traffic.
Let's walk over here blocking people. It's just adjusting.
Being able to take away food if you cannot finish it.
You don't want to waste and don't want to be disrespectful
It would be cool if you could take the food with you
You do like it but sometimes it's a bit much.
We have hard pillows in our dorm.
which makes it really hard to sleep.
It's something I never expected to.
I think they are filled with rice or something.
It takes some time to get used to it.
other than that everything is perfect.
I relly love it here.
I didn't really like the heated toilet seats.
It was so hot.
You did NOT like it?
No I unplugged the toilet.
I don't like the Pasmo cards (smart card ticket system).
How you have to pay to get in and pay to get out.
It's so much money just to travel everywhere.
I wish it was like New York. You pay 2,75 and you go like everywhere.
2,75 you go everywhere?!
Yeah you pay 2.75 on the metro card and you can go anywhere.
They have limited cards for a month.
So you can go anywere with unliminted.
and you dont have to pay that much.
Unlike here, its not unlimited and you have to keep paying.
I waste so much money going everywhere.
Navigation sometimes. I haven't really had too much trouble but
sometimes in the stations its difficult.
that's pretty much it so far.
I feel like I might discover more along the road.
Every place always has its troubles but so far I am fine.
For me this is my first time out of New York state.
So yesterday I took the train for the first time by myself.
So I was really scared.
There are so many Kanji and characters that I don't yet know.
That was about the only thing that I went through that was
inconvenient at first the Kanji character but eventually you get
used to it. I am really excited.
There is not anything that I really wanna change.
It's just little stuff like how packed the trains are during rush hour.
I feel very squished.
I feel the same problem. I have to learn more Kanji and practice more speaking.
That way I cannot get lost as often cause it is my first time out of New York.
Going on the train by myself I got lost so many times.
It also has a good side to it because I managed to find little small alleys.
and streets that have small restaurants which are really quiet and cool to be there.
Sometimes with the trains...
and getting off at exits
not knowing exactly which exit to go on...
and then ending up at the opposite where you wanted to go.
Cause there are just so many different levels.
at some of these stations like Shibuya or Shinjuku.
We got lost for 25 minutes because we ended up a t the wrong side of Shinjuku
one day when we were here a couple of nights ago.
That's a little inconvenient but not too much I have found here in Japan.
Thank you very much those were all the questions.
Thank you.
We had a couple of things that annoy people here in Japan.
Ranging from things that other people find comfortable.
some people find uncomfortabel.
Many people don't speak English
Or for example that the trains are very crowded in the mornings.
Which is quite terrible especially if you are on the train and it's already packed
and you are right at the door and then the door sign happens and
And then 5 other people think "OH this train is very full!
Let's Bodyslam into the crows.
So I can make the train on time."
It's a painful experience.
