where are you guys from we're from
Kuwait do you think Tokyo would work if
everyone was like louder and expressive
or do you think it might be very
different City
hey guys and gals on ask Japanese it's
Cathy cat we met a couple from Kuwait
who went to Tokyo for the very first
time and compared it to back home and
they have some very interesting
comparisons to make so let's go and ask
people who've come to Japan about Tokyo
where are you guys from we're from
Kuwait
how is took it to you what kind of city
is Tokyo for you it's a very clean city
it's a very nice a little bit of fast
pace but I like it a lot of different
experience a little bit overwhelming in
the beginning so many different
restaurants so many different places to
visit but really beautiful traditional
but modern at the same time oh you say
they like the pages very fast what do
you mean compared to Kuwait where I'm
from it's a lot of movement a lot of
cars a lot of people walking around it's
not as common as back home to see so
many people moving around and that's the
difference that's the fast pace I was
talking about you said it's overwhelming
what point part is overwhelming
choosing a restaurant with so many
different options is a little bit
overwhelm you don't know where to go
which to try where to eat so many things
you want to try but so limited space
exactly exactly
Oh like too many restaurants yes too
many too many too many options so many
options that you want to try them all
but you can't I've got a staff at one
point so if you compare Kuwait and Tokyo
so what is like the big difference the
biggest difference immediately is the
weather and being able to walk around
and the public transportation is a lot
more advanced than back home that's the
biggest initial difference
you said the weather I'm confused what
do you mean by that and Kuwait it's much
hotter and the summer times it can reach
50 degrees Celsius and a little bit
above and right now you guys are 10
degrees at 9 degrees Celsius back home
it's around 20 15 to 20 so it's it's a
difference in whether it's a little bit
colder but it's really nice it's really
nice get this cold it does it does it
does get a little bit colder as well
down to single digits but not as long or
Earth's common is here you said
something about the public transport
what's different we don't have subway
systems or underground or trans systems
so it's really nice to be able to go
from one position to another using the
public transportation as opposed to
being limited to taxis or it's other
forms of transportation so you have to
get a taxi went back home yeah yeah a
taxi or rent a car it's the main way to
transport yourself is there anything
that surprised you in Tokyo or anything
that like a little accident or something
that happen like you got lost or
anything I'm surprised for such a big
city with so many different people
walking around it's very clean and very
organized that's a very nice thing
what is so organized well for example
you have in the open air spaces you have
smoking sections so people go to that
smoking section and smoke they're
walking around in the underground area
there's a way to go forward and a way
for people going the other way
little hours on the floor yeah on the
floor climbing up the stairs and down
it's very organized in terms of staying
to the left and things like that little
things little details that I found very
interesting you don't have that back off
different yeah definitely different any
did you ever get like in Tokyo what's
culture shock did you get very quiet
people very quiet people and the trains
is very quiet that's a very big shock
that I've found and they're very
professional very clean it's nice the
quietness shocked your mouth Wow at the
trains because you see so many people
but it's very quiet it's no one's on
their phone no one's discussing and loud
voices or anything like that it's
interesting I'm not really used to that
so much at home is the opposite yeah we
like to be very expressive so we're
pretty much we like to talk we like to
express our emotions so it's a little
bit different they're very reserved here
in Japan I've noticed that they're very
calm and quiet and lower in terms of
their expression towards others do you
think Tokyo would work if everyone was
like louder and expressive or do you
think it might be very different City
I think it'll still work I think it'll
still work I don't see why not like oh
come on let's talk a bit more a little
bit sometimes yeah back home we have
it's very easy to interact with anybody
really on the street to talk and ask a
question just like here it was it felt
very comfortable to ask somebody
directions if I'm a little bit lost or
confused and they were all very helpful
even with the language barrier there was
still very helpful sign language
pointing and showing so it was not bad
it was excellent it's a very good
experience so Tokyo is incredibly
organized with all the little arrows and
compared to maybe other places it
actually works out like people try to at
least obey the rules to make Tokyo
happen and the trains go as smoothly as
possible
sometimes though when the hours are
pointing up and down people will still
go the other way because they're busy
they want to catch that train but
generally most people actually try to
mind their manners and obey the rules
here in Tokyo is that the same for your
country let me know I must say um I mean
we Germans are notoriously known for
being very very obedient to the redmine
the traffic light when there are light
is red we do not cross it's another role
that we are very strict about him guess
we're quite organized that way while in
the UK yes so quite a lot of people
jaywalking when there was no car around
yeah how is how's that for you that is
now in the comments down below is your
city just as organized
are there any manners and rules you guys
are kind of strict about we're not look
forward to finding out also don't forget
to subscribe if you're new and there is
a related video down here if you would
