whoa i just walked a really long way
I said konichiwan he goes WA!
oh my gosh i don't think they get many foreigners here if konichiwa gets you one word WA!
only two percent of japan's population is non-japanese so it's not surprising
that when you leave a big city like tokyo pack your bags and go into a
rural area you might find yourself to be the only foreigner in town
hello again it's your friend anming here i have been living in china in japan since 2012
and the biggest thing that's going to make a complete difference in your experience here
is learning the local language even in japan there are many people that have never had the chance to
talk to a foreigner and when they finally get that chance it's amazing to see their reaction
their eyes just light up they get so excited they have so many questions you become instant friends
well i feel like i already have friends here but i really don't
i already made friends here please take a moment to like this video and subscribe to the channel
if you're already subscribed please hit the notification bell so you don't miss any happy
moments like this and authentic interactions i love showing this i love proving stereotypes
wrong that say that japanese people don't like foreigners or that japanese people are cold when
in reality a lot of times when foreigners come here the biggest problem is a language barrier
another common misunderstanding that visitors to japan have is
that the locals just don't want to talk to them they don't want to be bothered
by talking to you when in reality if you had just gone up and said hi to them in japanese that you
might have found they were generally curious about you and waiting for you to break the ice mask
despite being a country of 125 million people japan can be a really lonely place and there
are a lot of people that are just searching for some sort of interaction anything and you as a
foreigner having a short conversation with them might just be enough to really make someone's day
what i'm talking about does not just apply to people from western countries
here my chinese roommates and i have made her wall of fame in her countryside restaurant forever
